4hw.com.cn: in the early morning of April 26, 2018 Snooker World Championships ended the fifth competition day competition, Higgins 10-7 eliminated the first appearance of tacaya in krusburg, and successfully passed the first round. In addition to the early promotion of O'Sullivan and Williams, 75 three Jie once again gathered in the top 16. Robson, the 10th seed, lost 5-10 to Milkins and went back to his home with Selby and Murphy. Before the first round of the competition is over, only Ding Junhui is left in the Mesozoic era.
The world championship is the ultimate battlefield of professional players and the ultimate experience of players' comprehensive strength. The 43 year old 75 Sanjie once again showed overwhelming dominance. Earlier in the game, O'Sullivan suffered a little twists and turns to 10-7 to win the qualification of one of the strongest marquis. In the first period of the day, Williams also joined the top 16 lineup with 10-5, during which 140 points per stroke once set the highest single stroke score.
Higgins made the final appearance among the three heroes. In the first stage, he was 6-3 ahead of thajaya, the first Thai player to compete in the world championships.
In the second stage, Tachia turned passivity into initiative and won three of the first four games. All of these three games were one shot, with 121, 112 and 60 points for one shot respectively. Higgins also made 81 points for one shot in his own winning game, which shows the intensity of the game. At this time, the total score on the field has changed to 7-6, and tacia is only one game short.
Higgins, the veteran, readjusted his form, and tachaya's firepower was blocked. Higgins paid a 3-1 back to tacia, and finally the Scot wizard, No. 5 seed, won the game 10-7, and received a ticket to the top 16.
The performance of the three heroes has to be impressive again. In fact, all the season before the world championships, they have handed over a very convincing report card. In the ranking competition, O'Sullivan won 5 Championships, Higgins 2 Championships and Williams 2 Championships. The three won half of the 19 ranking competitions before the world championships, which is comparable to their performance in the early peak period of their career.
Compared with the powerful 75 Sanjie, the Mesozoic world championship is a bit 'downhill'. On the same day, Robertson from Australia, the traditional three major Slam champion, was very depressed. He fell behind 3-6 in the first nine innings and failed in the second stage. In the end, he lost 5-10 points to Milkins, who was equal in strength, and made an early round tour.
Selby, Murphy, Robertson and Ding Junhui are regarded as the four major kings of the Mesozoic era. Defending champion and world number one Selby has been out of the game. Now, with Murphy and Robertson being eliminated, Ding Junhui is the only one left in the last 16 of the world championships.
