John Higgins believes snooker’s famous ‘Class of 92’ can reign for at least another decade after joining Ronnie O’Sullivan and Mark Williams in the World Championship quarter-finals.
Yan Bingtao has been criticised for breaking an ‘unwritten rule’ of snooker in his World Championship victory over Mark Selby. The Chinese star beat the Jester from Leicester 13-10 on Sunday night.
In recent seasons, Judd Trump has not been associated with winning ugly — but that is shaping up to be how his World Championship is going, and it is impressing Alan McManus and Jimmy White. By his own admissions, Trump has not been enjoying his snooker and said he will put away his cue for a while once the World Championship concludes.
Yan Bingtao has said he chose to ask the referee to clean the white at a key juncture in his World Championship match with Mark Selby as a joke in a bid to lighten the mood. The 2021 Masters champion was 10-7 ahead in a match he went on to win when he was left with a fiendish shot. Ad/> It was not clear whether the cue ball would pass the blue on the way to the brown that was sat over the pocket, and he agonised over the shot.
Yan Bingtao versus Mark Selby always had the feel of a match that could burn the midnight oil, as neither is famed for swashbuckling snooker, with caution often the watchword. Matches often tend to last a long time when three minutes are taken over a shot. But that was what Yan did in the 18th frame of their second-round encounter at the World Championship on Saturday.
Jimmy White feels Ronnie O’Sullivan did enough in beating Mark Allen to believe he is now favourite for World Championship glory. O’Sullivan has one title to his name this term, but has produced some excellent snooker overall. Ad/> He eased past David Gilbert in round one and went up a gear to crush Allen 13-4.
Eurosport expert Jimmy White has hailed Ronnie O'Sullivan's performance against Mark Allen at the World Championship as «phenomenal» and «sublime». The Rocket dominated the opening session of the second-round match, and he continued where he left off on Friday evening in a comprehensive performance against the talented Allen. Ad/> O'Sullivan continued to prevent Allen from playing in ruthless fashion as he powered to a 12-4 lead overnight in the race to 13 frames at the Crucible.
