Riyadh Season World Masters of Snooker Live – Luca Bressel takes on Mark Allen before Ronnie O’Sullivan vs Judd Trump

Last night was very clinical, with O’Sullivan struggling to get into his rhythm so far as Trump built a 58-8 lead.

But the Rockets have a chance to fight back here.

The second semi-final match is being held in Riyadh. I am very much looking forward.

A tough battle is expected between the two players who have already won four trophies this season.

However, his recent record in head-to-head matches has definitely shifted the situation in favor of O’Sullivan, who has won each of their last four meetings.

The world’s top two players achieved contrasting victories in the quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Trump bounced back from 2-0, 3-2 down to take on Sean Murphy, while O’Sullivan suffered a 4-0 rout of John Higgins, winning breaks of 135, 129, 102 and 82. He scored 489 points ahead of John Higgins, 4-4. .

Who will Brecel face in tonight’s final?

Well, we’ll soon find out as Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump face off in an epic showdown.

“I played well and felt good,” he told Eurosport’s Michael Bridge. “I feel like I’m playing a little bit better every week. Wales.” [where he reached the quarter-finals] That was the first step. I feel so much better about myself now.

“Mark is very difficult to beat. In every frame, he plays the same whether he’s down or up. There aren’t many players like that, so he’s very difficult to play against.”

By scoring 82 points, he was awarded a contract with the world champion, and won a place in the finals by winning a high-level competition.

I have Brecel in several sturdy long pots.

Bullet now has a great chance to end the frame and make a match.

An impressive total clearance of 132 gives you three centuries of durability with the same number of frames.

More importantly for Allen, it keeps his hopes alive.

Allen also fought back well. Is this the beginning of a new counterattack?

Remember, I lost 3-1 to Mark Selby in the quarter-finals.

With an incredible 125, the world champion moved closer to making it to the finals.

Despite knocking in a pink when breaking the back, Allen’s missed red in the top left corner sent Bressel back to the table.

He floated a beautiful mid-range red into the bottom left corner and it settled nicely on the ball.

The pistol closes the frame with an impressive 121 clearance, cutting the difference in half.

This is a good response from Allen, who is 46 and counting.

You would expect him to be looking out of the frame from here.

The game was restarted a little later, with Allen reportedly leaving the arena due to a nosebleed.

But that doesn’t seem to have much of an impact, as the pistol crunches with a bright opening red.

Winning a long safety battle, Bressel knocked in a bright yellow and cleared to pink to double his lead.

Brecel conceded 10 points with penalty fouls from several snookers.

This closes the gap and requires yellow, green, and brown to fill the frame.

A nice break of 71 gives the Belgian a 23-point lead with only a color left.

The players are currently engaged in a safety battle in the yellow zone. Who will jerk off first?

Allen unfortunately hit a long red on the chin in the left corner, leaving his opponent with an opportunity to counter.

Pistols are 6 red followed by black for 48. However, the position shot from the sixth black mark did not go as planned.

Allen is left with the possibility of a tricky pot or an easy safety. With a heavy heart he chooses the latter.

4 people are red, 4 people are black…

Bressel reached 72 points, good enough to draw first blood in this contest.

The world champion has a good chance of earning an opening spot here. He has 33 breaks in a row and counting.

There is no 167 in this first frame as the referee removes the gold ball after Allen plays the first red to blue.

Will we see this today? There are still top four seeds left, so the chances are good.

Referee Tatiana Woollaston will toss the coin. Brecel won the toss and elected to break. This should be a brilliant first semi-final.

The players have been introduced to the arena and are now ready to head here.

This will be the ninth time the two have met in a professional match, with Allen winning five of the previous eight meetings.

However, this will be the first time the two sides have faced each other outside the UK since the 2015 Shanghai Masters, which Pistol won 5-3 in the last 32.

The first semi-final will pit the World Champion against the World No. 3.

Bressel had a commanding 4-1 win over Ali Carter on Tuesday, while Allen had a dramatic 4-3 win over Mark Selby in the final black.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the live coverage of Day 3 of the 1st Riyadh Season World Masters.

Today is the last day of competition at Boulevard City’s Global Theater, with two semi-finals to be played this afternoon before the final, which is the centerpiece of the event.

First, reigning world champion Luca Bressel takes on Mark Allen, followed by Ronnie O’Sullivan’s breathtaking showdown with Judd Trump.

Ronnie O’Sullivan admits he feels close to his best again after scoring a convincing whitewash victory over John Higgins at the Riyadh Season World Masters.

O’Sullivan won 4-0 in the match which started at 1.45am in the Saudi capital and will now face an interesting semi-final against Judd Trump.

“I felt very comfortable after I took the shot,” O’Sullivan told Eurosport.

“It’s been a while. I’ve felt okay in practice the last few weeks. I’ve been absolutely dirty for two years, but I’m starting to feel okay again. It’s been a long time.”

“The worst thing about work is having to play. Go somewhere, go to the gym, eat good food, relax, watch Netflix. When you’re playing okay… It’s okay, when you’re playing absolutely dirty, you’re not good.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, no.’ It’s embarrassing sometimes.

“Places like this are great for me because I don’t drink and I don’t go to parties. In England, it’s all about pubs and drinking.”

Due to the length of the first game between Mark Selby and Mark Allen, all of Tuesday’s matches were played on a delayed basis, with the former winning in a dramatic 4-3.

O’Sullivan joked, “I now call him Midnight Selby because all his matches are after midnight.”

“It’s a nightmare, you don’t want to follow Mark because the next day is coming.

“It’s top players playing against each other, so it’s always going to be a good game, unless it’s Mark vs. Mark today.

“It was a little tough. Even Mark Allen said afterward, ‘That was tough!'”
