Live broadcast! Snooker World Championship: Two more quarter-final spots determined, Ding Junhui vs Zhao Xintong Stage 2 begins

On April 25 Beijing time, the second round of the Snooker World Championship main event continues. According to the latest schedule, six matches will be played today to decide two quarter-final spots. The third stages of Karen Wilson vs Mark Allen, and Hawkins vs Mark Williams will determine who advances to the quarter-finals. Additionally, the Chinese derby between Zhao Xintong and Ding Junhui will resume today with its second stage!

At 17:00 today, two matches will be scheduled: the first stage between Wakelin and Robertson. Both players advanced to the 16th round in the main event's first round by winning 10-6 after gaining momentum later in the match. In this round competing for a quarter-final ticket, both have won ranking tournament titles this season. Wakelin has shown significant improvement; if he can keep the score close in the first stage, he will have a chance against Robertson. At the same time, the third stage between Karen Wilson and Mark Allen will take place. Currently, Mark Allen leads Karen Wilson 9-7 after two stages, firmly controlling the match, but the point difference is not large, so who will advance remains uncertain!

At 21:00, the second stage between Ding Junhui and Zhao Xintong will be played. The first stage was extremely exciting, directly trending online and boosting viewership ratings. Zhao Xintong displayed sharp accuracy, while Ding Junhui showed top-level cue ball control; they were evenly matched and ended 4-4 in a draw. Today's second stage is crucial; whoever can pull ahead in score will gain the initiative for advancement. During the same period, the first stage between Vafaei and Trump will take place. Vafaei, as the sole qualifier, has skill, but facing Trump he has little chance of winning!

In the early morning tomorrow, two matches will be held: the first stage between Higgins and O'Sullivan. This is a passionate clash between two of the "75 Three Legends," also a focal point of the tournament, with the outcome highly uncertain. At the same time, the third stage between Hawkins and Mark Williams will take place. Currently, Hawkins leads Mark Williams 10-6, holding a very strong hope of advancing to the quarter-finals; he only needs to win three more frames!
