In the early morning of May 1, Beijing time, the 2024 World Snooker Championship continued. In a key match in the quarterfinals, 4-time world champion "Wizard" John Higgins faced the strongest post-90s "embarrassing brother" Kyren Wilson, and in the first stage, he fell behind his opponent 3-5. In the second round, Higgins made an epic 13-12 comeback over Mark Allen.
After a season of competition, the 2023-24 Snooker Tour has entered the final stage, and the Snooker World Championship Qualifying Tournament is hotly staged. 4-time World Championship champion "Wizard" John Higgins joined hands with O'Sullivan and Williams of "Seven Five Three Heroes" to play again. Williams was upset in the first round, and Higgins and O'Sullivan reached the quarterfinals with two consecutive wins.
It is worth mentioning that Higgins showed the omnipotent qualities of a top snooker player in the second round. In the match against the favorite to win the championship, Mark Allen "Little Steel Cannon", who has won three tournaments this season, was behind passively throughout the whole game, and after the end of the 23rd inning, when he was taken to the match point at 11-12, he first stubbornly chased the score to 12-12.
Coming to the tiebreaker, "Little Steel Cannon" took the lead in scoring 62 points in a single stroke, and Higgins then got started through an excellent flip bag, and finally scored 71 points in a single stroke, 71-62 in a single game reversal, and completed an incredible epic reversal with a score of 13-12.
In fact, the four-time world champion's form this season can only be described as average, but when he came to his favorite Crucible Theater, he once again showed the great energy of the "wizard", so that the reversed "Little Steel Cannon" Allen was convinced.
In the quarterfinals, Higgins' opponent was the strongest post-90s "embarrassing brother" Kyren Wilson, who was brave in the first two rounds, swept the "Astros" Dominic Dale 10-1 in the first round, and defeated the dark horse Joe O'Connor 13-6 in the second round. Coming to this 1/4 finals, Wilson continued the hot form of the first two rounds, taking a 4-0 lead in the first four games, and Higgins then hit two shots to break 100 and one shot of 50+, and the score was 3-5.
