O’Sullivan missed the 16th stroke of his career, 147, the last one was already 3 years ago.

In the early morning of November 5th, Beijing time, the 2021 Snooker England Open ended the second and third rounds of the race. The No. 3 seed of the tournament, “Rocket” Ronnie O’Sullivan, missed a chance to play 147 in the 16-to-8 game, but still swept his opponent 4-0 to advance to the quarter-finals.

The fourth match day of the 2021 Snooker England Open is a one-day double match. The second and third rounds of the main match are played successively. O’Sullivan’s goal this week is to win the first ranked championship since the 2020 Snooker World Championships-he lost 5 consecutive finals last season.

O’Sullivan’s deciding game broke the 100 with a single shot, 4-3 wins into the top 16

O’Sullivan’s opponent in the second round was the 47th seed of the tournament and his usual training partner Anthony Hamilton. Perhaps because we know ourselves and the enemy, the two sides fought quite tangled. In the first two innings, O’Sullivan scored 62 and 61 points in a single stroke, winning two consecutive games 72 (62)-26 and 79 (61)-28. In the third game, Hamilton won the lottery and pulled back a game 61-49. In the fourth game, O’Sullivan once again scored 62 points on a single stroke, winning another game 71 (62)-26, with a big score of 3-1 to get the match point. However, after that, Hamilton scored 75 points and 71 points in a row, and pulled the game into a deciding round with 88(75)-7 and 71(71)-20. At the critical moment, O’Sullivan scored 119 points on a single stroke and won the deciding game with 119 (119) -3, a big score 4-3 and a narrow margin to advance to the top 16.

In the third round that followed, O’Sullivan’s opponent was the game’s 67th seed, Welsh player Jamie Clark.Maybe it was because he got a full warm-up in the second round, or maybe O’Sullivan completely found the touch with a single stroke in the deciding game. In this game, the Rockets had full firepower and a total of 4 games were blasted. 2 shots 50+ and 2 shots broke 100, especiallyIn the 4th game, after completing 15 sets of “red + black”, he made a mistake in hitting the yellow ball. Unfortunately, he missed his first shot since the 2018 England Open and his 16th shot 147 in his career.Despite this, he still won 4 games in a row with 73(59)-18, 123(123)-0, 82(54)-1 and 120(120)-0, and swept 4-0 to advance to the quarterfinals.
