The 2022 World Snooker Championships have produced several players who have advanced to the round of sixteen first after three matchdays: defending champion Mark Selby, Chinese teenager Zhao Xintong, best player Ronnie O'Sullivan, "Dark Horse" Jackson Page and Stephen Maguire.
Among them, O'Sullivan's career world championship wins after defeating Gilbert also equaled Hendry, and the single shot over 100 also rose to 1157 deservedly even the first person, while another "75 three masters" veteran Mark Williams also ushered in the first round of the decisive stage.
Mark Williams played against fellow Welshman's talented michael White, who had previously led by White with a five-win, three-loss record, but the former top 16 player has been in poor shape in recent seasons and has just qualified for a professional tournament this season.
Mark Williams, 47, threw White a tough lesson in the first stage of the match, blasting out the big over-100 shots of 121 and 116 in the first half to take a 4-0 lead.
Returning from the second half of the first stage, Mark Williams still did not lose his hand and once again blasted a single 138 over 100 to continue to extend the lead, until the last two sets of White was able to pull back two sets with two 50+ to enter the tiebreaker stage 2-7.
To know that Ma Wei revealed in an interview before the World Championships that the 75 sanjie has at most three years or so to be able to rank in the world's top sixteen, and at that time he will choose to retire to bid farewell to the snooker arena, after witnessing the first stage of the showdown of Mark Williams, many fans are also addicted and bluntly say that they want to retire.
The second stage back Ma Wei actually did not feel as hot as the first stage, after completing the daily 30+ after the attack was interrupted, but little White is still in a state without losing simple balls in succession, Ma Wei has repeatedly completed the clearance to lead 8-2.
Then Little White made another mistake in the case of a chance to win back a set, Marvel was smiling and showed off the club to reach the match point 9-2 in the clear ball stage, although Little White staged a wonderful clearance in the twelfth set to win the next set, but as Marvel scored a difficult combination in the thirteenth set, it also announced the end of the game, and once again blasted a single shot over 100 to win 10-3 to advance.
Throughout the entire showdown, Ma Wei can be described as a hundred over-enough addiction, the accuracy of the sword is not old also attracted the applause of the audience, poor little White is simply crying without tears in the first stage almost determined that the end of the game is also a tragic round of travel.
Witnessing the first round of Ma Wei's showdown before the world championships to claim to retire in a few years is simply incomprehensible, I have to say that the 75 three masters are really the older the more demon this level wants to retire fans are also a hundred do not agree ah.
