The biggest dark horse advances to the final of the Snooker World Championship for the first time and the “post-90s” compete for the championship
China News Service, Beijing, May 5th – In a stunning turn of events, the 2024 World Snooker Championship saw the emergence of a dark horse as Jack Jones defeated Bingham 17-12 in the semi-finals to advance to the final. The seeded player Kyren Wilson also secured a spot in the final, setting up a historic showdown between two players born in the 1990s for the championship title.
This will be the first time in the history of the World Snooker Championship that two players born in the 1990s will compete for the championship, and it marks the second consecutive year that a player from this generation will win the championship. Kyren Wilson, the five-time ranking event champion, will be looking to redeem himself after narrowly missing out on the title in the 2020 World Championships.
On the other side of the bracket, Jack Jones, ranked 44th in the world, will be hoping to continue his impressive run in the tournament. After breaking into the quarterfinals in the last World Championships, Jones has now advanced to the final for the first time. The Welsh “post-90s” player will be looking to make history and potentially become the next World Snooker Champion.
It is uncertain who will emerge victorious in the final, but one thing is for sure – a new champion will be crowned in this year’s World Championship. The final will take place on the evening of the 5th, Beijing time, and the champion will be decided on the morning of the 7th. With both players vying for their first World Championship title, fans can expect an intense and thrilling battle on the green baize.
