Live now! Snooker Masters: Two more quarterfinalists decided on the 13th, Si Jiahui faces off against Kyren Wilson

On January 13th, Beijing time, the first round of the Snooker Masters continues fiercely. According to the schedule, two matches will be played today to determine two more quarterfinal spots. China will have one representative, Si Jiahui, who will challenge the strong opponent Kyren Wilson. Another match features a tough battle between Higgins and Hawkins. Which two will secure their places in the last eight?

So far, four quarterfinal spots have been claimed in this tournament, all with winning scores of 6-2, which is quite interesting. Among these four quarterfinalists, we have three Chinese players: Wu Yize, Xiao Guodong, and Zhao Xintong. Today, one more will take the stage — Si Jiahui, whose opponent is world number two Kyren Wilson!

Si Jiahui versus Kyren Wilson. Si Jiahui is a promising Chinese talent, with his best achievement being a semifinal appearance at the World Championship and a ranking final appearance, though he has yet to claim a professional title. This season has been a struggle with no significant results. His opponent tonight, Kyren Wilson, a 90s-born World Champion, is top-class both offensively and defensively, but his form this season has been inconsistent with no standout performances. Therefore, Si Jiahui has a real chance to cause an upset in this match!

At 3 AM tomorrow, Higgins will face Hawkins for a quarterfinal spot. Currently, O'Sullivan has withdrawn, and Mark Williams has been eliminated. Among the "Big Three" of '75, only Higgins remains. His opponent is Hawkins, a regular semifinalist. Although Higgins is 51 years old, he still maintains an exceptionally high level of play. This strong showdown between two top players promises to be very exciting. Both are formidable, and whoever loses will find it hard to accept. Higgins will surely defend the honor of the '75 trio!

The match between Si Jiahui and Kyren Wilson has already started. We hope Si Jiahui can pull off an upset and secure his fourth consecutive win. Let's watch closely and cheer him on!
