This morning, the ** Welsh Open continued, and the last semi-final broke out a big upset, the only remaining seeded player Higgins overturned, 4-6 to Gary Wilson, who played 147, 6 consecutive wins failed, and it was difficult to break the 1 curse. O'Donnell, ranked only 76th in the world, made his debut in the final of the ranking tournament and competed for the championship with a taxi driver.
Higgins is a legendary superstar with 31 ranking tournament titles, but he has recently fallen into a slump, and has fallen into a championship drought in the last 2 years, and has never been able to make it to the finals. This season, the Wizards have repeatedly entered the top 4 and lost all of them, and this game ushered in a good opportunity. Higgins has won 6-1 in Gary Wilson's past seven games, and recently completed five consecutive wins, winning a lot, and is favored to hit the 32nd crown.
No one expected that Gary Wilson showed explosive feeling in this game, completing 147 points in the second game, and winning the first four games, 4-0 basically locked the victory. Higgins countered 4-1 and tried to turn the tables, but the post-80s two-time champion scored 73 points in a single stroke in the 10th game to kill the game. The Wizards won 6 in a row, lost 4-6, failed to break the curse, and lost the semifinals again.
O'Donnell burst onto the top, ranking 76th in the world and fighting for relegation this season, the post-80s player scored 126, 88, 78 and 61 points in the semifinals, beating Slessor 6-5 and entering the final of the ranking tournament for the first time. If O'Donnell goes dark and defeats Gary Wilson to win the championship, he will set 3 records, 1 is to win the ranking tournament for the first time, 2 is to squeeze out Wakelin to enter the top 16 in a single season, and qualify for the Red Envelope Players Championship, 3 is to get the championship seat next season, come on.
