Higgins, the winner of the other four World Championships, will play against Thailand's famous Sancham, although the overall strength is dominant, but the historical record of the two sides is almost the same, this game also has a certain suspense, the last four seats in the quarter-finals will be very fierce.

World champion Bingham will play with Karen Wilson in the first two stages of the second round, this game is the focus of the second round of the game, the overall strength of the two is almost the same, Wilson is the No. 5 seed of the tournament, and Bingham is the No. 12 seed, in recent years the two have been stable in the World Championships, Karen Wilson has reached the quarterfinals of the World Championships for four consecutive years, and Bingham reached the final four at last year's World Championships, the most terminated step semifinals. The two men's previous head-to-head record Karen Wilson had the upper hand, most recently at the Masters earlier this year, when Karen Wilson narrowly beat Bingham to advance to the second round. Karen Wilson narrowly defeated China's famous Ding Junhui in the first round of the game, and Bingham defeated the Chinese young player Lu Haotian, from the first round of the game process, both sides are in good shape, Bingham's state adjustment is better, but Karen Wilson is after all a teenager younger than the opponent, energetic, which is more advantageous in the World Championship long game format, if you can not be pulled apart by Bingham in the first two stages of the game, Karen Wilson's probability of winning is still greater.
Four-time World Championship winner Higgins faced Thailand's Famous Sankam, which was Higgins' two consecutive rounds of competition against Thai players, and in the first round of the tournament Higgins reversed the defeat of Thailand's famous Ta chaiya in the first stage of the game, and the state gradually recovered, which was very beneficial to the long World Championships. From the perspective of the strength comparison between the two sides, Higgins' strength is undoubtedly higher than that of his opponents, after all, Higgins' world ranking is much higher than Sankam, but Higgins and Sankam's historical record of confrontation is not too dominant, the two have played each other seven times before, Higgins has a slight advantage of four wins and three losses, Sankum's first round of matches can beat the seeded player Brechel, which shows that his strength is not weak, although Higgins has performed stably this season, but the situation of overturning in the gutter has also occurred repeatedly. If Sancam can play at the level of the first round, he is expected to create more trouble for Higgins, even if it is not a fantasy to beat Higgins in an "upset".
World champions Higgins and Bingham were challenged, and the other two world champions Neil Robertson and Trump were also under great pressure, the first stage of the game was in an ups and downs, barely equal to the opponent, the second stage of the two must be praised as soon as possible to adjust the state, otherwise the game will become more and more difficult. Trump and Anthony McGill's game is difficult, one is that Trump's own offensive advantage can not play out, the second is McGill's defense is quite good, Trump wants to go further, as soon as possible to restore its excellent offensive state is the top priority, the last two World Championships, Trump are the favorite to win the championship, but in the end did not get the championship, last year he stopped in the quarterfinals. This year's World Championship Trump encountered a greater challenge, the second round of the opponent McGill is one of the "91 three masters", last year's World Championships in the second round he upset the champion favorite O'Sullivan eliminated, this year if trump is cut off from the horse, it is not impossible, Trump if you want to win the World Championship must first consider crossing mcGill this level.
World champion Neil Robertson opponent Lisovsky is also one of the "91 Three Masters", the two met in the second round of the two consecutive World Championships, Neil Robertson is naturally eager to replicate last year's results, but it is clear that this year he is more challenging, the two are currently at the same starting line at a 4:4 draw. Although Lisovsky has lost more than a few against Robertson, this does not mean that he has no chance to beat his opponents, Neil Robertson is the best performer this season, but he also occasionally has bad moments. The World Championships are a long-term contest, a test of endurance, energy and physical strength, more momentum than Neil Robertson's young Lisovsky, if he can open the point difference in the second stage of the game, Lisovsky has a chance to win. Of course, objectively speaking, Neil Robertson's current comprehensive strength is much stronger than Lisovsky's, if both sides play their due role normally, Neil Robertson has a better chance of winning, and the two sides have completed the second stage of the game, which has a decisive impact on the outcome of this game.
