On April 11, Beijing time, the snooker World Championship once again broke out of the cold. Gould, the world's 20th-ranked spectacle man, faced England's Hugel, who is only ranked 77th in the world, lost 4 consecutive sets of collapse in the face of the huge advantage of 5-2 lead, and finally lost 5-6 to the opponent and was eliminated!
Gould is currently ranked 20th in the world and is the No. 4 seed in qualifying. His opponent, Hu gill, is 13 years younger and ranks only 77th. It was supposed to be a one-sided game, but I didn't expect Gould to drop the chain.
Gould took the lead, winning three straight sets 66-54, 57-20, 65-32 and taking a 3-0 lead. Hugel then pulled back the set 72-41. After a short break, Gould won 65-17. After blasting a single-shot 78 inning, Gould was already leading 5-2. At this point, the game didn't seem to have much suspense, but hurgil didn't expect to launch a Jedi counterattack.
In the 8th set, Hugel scored 68 points to make it 3-5. Hugel then won two straight sets 63-1 and 75-53 to drag the match into the decider. In the decider, Hugel scored 53 points in one shot, and only one goal left to overtake the score. But his black ball stopped at the mouth of the bag. However, Gould failed to seize the last chance, and Hurgil fought into the long stage, and finally won 6-5 to advance.
The match starts at 2:30 a.m. Beijing time and runs until 8 a.m. Beijing time. The game was full of ups and downs, and the ups and downs surprised both players. When the final footage of the game was given to Gould, the 41-year-old veteran was blue in the face and full of loneliness, and he missed too many opportunities in this game.
In the rest of the matches, China's Ding Junhui defeated Tian Pengfei 6-4 to advance, but Fan Zhengyi lost 5-6. And Ma Fulin was also eliminated by Li Li 1-6 and had no chance to play against Ding Junhui. It can be said that this matchday has been a lot of cold, I don't know if there will be any big cold spots in the remaining 12 games?
