Day four of the World Snooker Championship is underway, and the action has been nothing short of entertaining. Both of last year’s finalists, Mark Selby and Luca Brecel, have already been eliminated in the first round.
Today’s schedule includes six more matches, with Mark Williams aiming to secure a place in the last 16 against Si Jiahui. The Tour Championship winner has a 5-4 advantage after yesterday’s opening session.
Mark Allen will also begin his campaign later today against Robbie Williams. Before their matches, Kyren Wilson and Jack Lisowski will face Dominic Dale and Ding Junui, respectively.
The evening session will feature another first-round tie between Ryan Day and Barry Hawkins, while Robert Milkins will attempt to overcome a 5-4 deficit against Pang Junxu.
One of the tournament’s biggest surprises emerged yesterday when Joe O’Connor upset four-time world champion Mark Selby. Shaun Murphy also advanced to the last 16, setting up a tantalizing encounter with Stephen Maguire.
