On April 27 Beijing time, the second round of the Snooker World Championship main event will commence. According to the latest schedule, today will witness an ultimate showdown: Chinese rising star Wu Yize faces off against multiple champion Selby. They will battle it out in the third stage for a decisive match, with the outcome still uncertain. Of course, as Chinese fans, our greatest hope is that Wu Yize can upset his opponent and advance to the quarterfinals!

Wu Yize is a Chinese rising star who has shown significant improvement this season, winning the International Championship and achieving a major breakthrough in his career. As a seed player directly qualifying for the World Championship this time, he aims to achieve a strong result. In this round, he faces Selby for a quarterfinal spot, which is undoubtedly a major test for him. It must be noted that Selby is one of the "80s Five Tigers" with numerous honors, and the World Championship format seems tailor-made for Selby. It is no easy task for anyone to defeat him comfortably at this event—even O'Sullivan finds it challenging!

Therefore, Wu Yize must take initiative, avoid giving his opponent easy opportunities, and also wear down Selby's stamina. The first two stages of their match have concluded, with Wu Yize holding his ground remarkably well, leading Selby 9-7—a somewhat surprising result. Although Wu Yize holds the advantage for advancement, a two-frame lead is not substantial. Hence, the suspense in the third stage is immense; both players will make their final push for the quarterfinals. Selby is experienced and defensively solid, so Wu Yize must remain highly vigilant at all times!

The third stage of their match has now begun. The key question is who will advance to the quarterfinals. When paths cross, the brave prevail—let's wait and see, go for it!
