The Players Championship is in full swing and has so far produced three finalists in the semi-finals. The post-80s players performed eye-catchingly, winning two consecutive victories and successfully qualifying, while Selby set a new record and became a strong contender for the championship. But what is surprising is that O'Sullivan, the favorite to win the championship, suffered a twist and turn in the game, missing the 42nd-ranked player and missing the opportunity to advance. The battle for the final four will be decided between Zhang Anda and Higgins, and China's post-90s celebrities will also usher in a life-and-death battle at 21 o'clock tonight to hit the semifinals.
This The Players Championship is the second red envelope tournament of the season, and the prize money for the winner is a whopping 12£50,000, with even a first-round exit fee of £10,000. In the first quarterfinals, Carter defeated Trump 6-4, the first person in the single season, although Ace Jun hit a single shot to break 100 and 4 strokes to 50, but in the end it fell short.
On the fourth day of competition, the post-80s players were successful again. In the match between Mark Allen and Gary Wilson, Xiao Gangcang completed 4 strokes of 50 in the first six innings, and although he failed to take the lead, he tied the score to 3-3 after falling behind 1-3 and clenched his opponent. Subsequently, Mark Allen took control of the situation and played 3-1 with a high score of 69 points in a single stroke, and finally eliminated the opponent with a total score of 6-4. Selby defeated the world No. 1 O'Sullivan with an astonishing score of 6-0, creating the largest single-game score difference in this tournament and successfully qualifying, while O'Sullivan was unfortunately out of the tournament and ended the game.
These exciting matches are dizzying, and each one is full of suspense and surprises. But at the same time, it also makes us think that in competitive sports, there is often a line between victory and defeat, and a true champion needs to put in more effort and wisdom. So, who do you think will win the championship in the Champions Championship?
