On July 17, Beijing time, the 1/8 finals of the Snooker Shanghai Masters continued, in the latest end of a focus battle, the four-time world champion Selby defeated the Chinese teenager Cao Jin 6-1 with full firepower, and advanced to the quarterfinals without blood, and in another game, Chinese player Pang Junxu temporarily led the world's No. 1 Mark Allen 5-4, and is very hopeful of advancing!
Selby is ranked sixth in the world, has won four World Championships, has a bye in the first round of this event, and received a gift package in the 1/8 finals, facing the Chinese teenager Cao Jin, who upset the World Championships runner-up Jack Jones, according to normal play, Selby should win the game should not be a problem, after the game started, Cao Jin took the lead, piecemeal to take the lead 67-16. In the subsequent game, Selby entered the rhythm, blasted out one shot to break 100 and two shots of 60+, staged an attack wave of winning 6 games in a row, defeated Cao Jin with a 6-1 reversal, and quickly advanced to the quarterfinals, winning can be called an easy freehand, this result is also normal, Cao Jin made a lot of mistakes in the whole game, and he couldn't win with one shot, so Selby also became the fifth player to advance to the quarterfinals in this event!
And another focus battle, Chinese player Pang Junxu challenged the world's No. 1 Mark Allen, this game Pang Junxu once got a 3-0 dream start, but unfortunately then there were a lot of low-level mistakes, and Mark Allen was chased to 3-3 draw, 4-4 draw, fortunately in the ninth game Pang Junxu won again to take the lead in 5-4 to get the match point, only one step away from advancing to the quarterfinals, but because the two played too slowly, it took 5 hours to finish the game, so they could only temporarily suspend the game and need to wait for the end of other games, I hope Pang Junxu will not be affected, and strive to win the tenth game in one go!
At present, five seats have been produced in the top eight of this event, that is, O'Sullivan, Ding Junhui, Si Jiahui, Selby and Trump, basically all top masters, let's wait and see the remaining three seats in the top eight, come on!
