On the evening of January 7, Beijing time, the first round of the 2024 Snooker Masters, which is the opening match of the 1/8 finals, the new world champion Luca Brecel played against Jack Lisowski, and in the end, Brecel suffered a first-round tour 2-6, a fiasco, and he also shook hands with a wry smile after the game, which is really embarrassing, after winning the World Championship, Brecel's state has really declined significantly. Lisowski easily won and advanced to the last 8 first.
Both of them are post-90s celebrities, Brecel broke out last season and won the World Championships, which also made him firmly in the TOP16 position, currently ranked 4th in the world, but after winning the World Championships, Brecel's overall state is not good, and it can even be described as bad, without too good performance, and he has been out early many times.
Lisowski, known as the "Little Driver", is ranked 16th in the world and has reached the final of the ranking tournament six times before, but has failed to win the title. According to statistics, the two have met nine times on the tour before, and Lisowski has a slight advantage of 5-4, of which only one is a best-of-11 game, and Lisowski won 6-4. On the whole, the strength of the two is still relatively close, and the suspense of victory or defeat is still very great.
After four rounds in the first half, Brecel almost had no state and feel, and Lisowski scored 70 points in a single stroke, 100 points in a single stroke, 96 points in a single stroke and 69 points in a single stroke, and achieved a 4-0 lead with a big score! After the break, Brecel scored 80 points in a row and 72 points in a single stroke, and in the seventh game, Lisowski scored 63 points in return. In the eighth game, Lisowski won 6-2 in one go.
