On December 27, the ** Macau Masters ushered in the second match day, and the top 16 of the three major debuts appeared. In the post-90s derby, Lisowski encountered the number one nemesis, Kyren Wilson, and if he wants to break the curse and avoid 8 consecutive defeats, he must fight hard. World No. 1 O'Sullivan appeared and competed with Fu Jiajun for the top 4 seats. Trump defeated Ding Junhui 6-1 to advance, and is expected to represent the post-80s generation to hit the 4th consecutive championship.
The battle between Lisowski and Kyren Wilson is the second TOP16 matchup of this tournament. Yesterday, the post-80s and 2 tigers competed, and Ding Junhui had no power to fight back at all, losing 1-6 to Trump. For the little driver, it is too difficult to win this game, because he has lost all of his past 7 matches against Brother Yi and has not won any of them. What's more, the current uncrowned king is in an extremely difficult situation, and he may be squeezed out of the first 16 by Gary Wilson or Tom Ford behind him at any time, and the nemesis of 8 consecutive defeats may be predictable.
O'Sullivan has always been keen to participate in invitational tournaments, and became the 5th champion of the Shanghai Masters in the new season. After becoming the oldest champion in the British Championships, the Rockets returned to the world No. 1 throne, and Fu Jiajun has improved his performance with 6 wins and 7 losses this season, but he is far from his peak. The Rockets have won 13 of Fu Jiajun's last 14 games, and as long as they play normally, they can pass the test.
Trump created the largest point difference in this tournament, defeated Ding Junhui 6-1 to advance to the top 4, and winning 2 more games will unlock his fourth crown of the season, and the post-80s players will also usher in a wave of 4 consecutive championships after the single-game limited-time tournament, the Scottish Open and the first stop of the Macau Masters, come on.
