In the early morning of September 26, Beijing time, the 24/25 season of the Snooker United Kingdom Open ended the third day of the competition, and half of the top 16 have been born, and only Selby and Jack Jones are the top 16 players in the world to confirm the promotion; Murphy, Neil Robinson, Ding Junhui and other 9 of the world's top 16 players lost and went out! 23 of the 25 Chinese players have been out, which can be described as quite miserable! Here are the details.
The Snooker United Kingdom Open is the 6th tournament of the 24/25 season and the 5th ranking tournament of the season, with a championship prize of 100,000 pounds, according to the schedule, the qualifying round is one round (128 into 64), from the qualifying round to the 1/8 finals, taking 7 rounds and 4 wins; The 1/4 finals are 9 rounds and 5 wins; The semi-finals are 11 rounds and 6 wins; The final is a best-of-19 system. Before the start of the main match of this competition, O'Sullivan announced his retirement, which made many fans feel very regretful.
It is worth mentioning that the biggest feature of this event is that each round is randomly drawn to determine the opponent, so that each round is likely to usher in a strong dialogue, which is also an important reason why as many as 9 of the world's top 16 players lose out, and the game is exciting and exciting, and has attracted the attention of many fans! The results of the nine top 16 players in the world who have already lost are as follows (the numbers in parentheses represent the world rankings):
Mark Williams (7) 1-4 Tu Zhenlong (81, Malaysia), missed the main draw (round of 64);
Murphy (8) 2-4 Higgins (17), missed the round of 32;
Ding Junhui (9) 3-4 Aaron Hill (63), missed the main draw (round of 64);
