On the morning of January 16th (Beijing time), the first round (1/8 finals) of the 2024/25 Snooker Masters has concluded, with the eight players advancing to the quarterfinals now confirmed (detailed matchups shown below)! Among the three Chinese players, only Ding Junhui remains, while both Si Jiahui and Zhang Anda lost and were eliminated. The upcoming quarterfinal match between Ding Junhui and Judd Trump is highly anticipated by fans.

The Snooker Masters, along with the World Championship and UK Championship, is considered one of the \"Triple Crown\" events in snooker. Although it is not a ranking tournament and its prize money does not affect the world rankings, the prestige of the tournament is undeniable. This year, the total prize pool has increased significantly, surpassing ￡1 million, with the champion’s prize rising from ￡250,000 last year to ￡350,000 this year. As a result, the competition in this edition of the Masters is expected to be fiercely contested. Let's review the details of the eight first-round matches.

Neil Robertson 6-5 John Higgins

The eight-time Masters champion and defending titleholder Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrew from the event due to illness, much to the disappointment of many fans. Replacing O'Sullivan was the \"Melbourne Machine\" Neil Robertson. In the opening match, Robertson faced Scotland's John Higgins, and the two played a memorable game that will go down in Masters history.

From the start, both Robertson and Higgins struggled with their form, making several mistakes. However, Robertson capitalized on his opportunities, winning the first frame. Higgins then found his rhythm and managed to win five consecutive frames, leading 5-1 and earning four match points, seemingly on the verge of progressing to the quarterfinals.

But then Higgins suffered a sudden lapse in form, especially in the seventh frame when he missed an easy red, which became the turning point of the match. Robertson seized the chance to get back into the game, replying with a strong five-frame comeback to seal the win 6-5, completing a dramatic reversal and advancing to the quarterfinals.

Shaun Murphy 6-3 Gary Wilson

Former World Champion Shaun Murphy started the match strong, hitting three breaks of 50 or more and winning four consecutive frames to take the lead. Gary Wilson, a late-blooming player, refused to back down and responded with a three-frame comeback to level the score at 3-4, making the match more exciting.

However, Murphy did not let up, scoring over 100 in a frame to bring the score to 5-3 and set up a match point. In the ninth frame, both players had several opportunities to take control, but Murphy eventually triumphed 6-3 to secure his spot in the quarterfinals.

Ding Junhui 6-5 Mark Williams

Ding Junhui, carrying the high hopes of Chinese fans, faced the legendary \"Class of '75\" player Mark Williams in the first round. Despite the pressure, Ding held his ground and won this thrilling match, leaving Chinese fans overjoyed.

The match was tight, with both players making mistakes. After the score was tied at 4-4, Ding made a costly error on a black ball in the ninth frame, which allowed Williams to steal the frame 67-66 and lead 5-4, setting up a match point.

However, Ding refused to give up, quickly adjusting his game. In the final two frames, he made no further mistakes. In the decider, after Williams missed a long shot, Ding seized the opportunity to make a winning break, ensuring that Williams had no chance to recover. Ding won 6-5 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Judd Trump 6-1 Barry Hawkins

After meeting in the UK Championship final, Judd Trump and Barry Hawkins faced off again in the first round of the Masters, a match eagerly anticipated by many fans. Unlike in the UK Championship final, where the match was competitive, Trump played exceptionally well in this encounter, and Hawkins had no chance to resist. Trump won 6-1 to progress to the quarterfinals.

Mark Selby 6-1 Ali Carter

Three-time World Champion and Grand Slam player Mark Selby played against last year's Masters runner-up Ali Carter, displaying his dominant form right from the start. He won four consecutive frames, leaving Carter demoralized.

Although Carter managed to win one frame in the fifth, it was not enough to stop Selby’s momentum. Selby quickly wrapped up the match 6-1, easily defeating Carter and advancing to the quarterfinals.

Mark Allen 6-2 Si Jiahui

Si Jiahui, 22, is seen as a rising star in Chinese snooker, but his recent personal issues had a significant impact on his form, leaving many fans disappointed. In his match against the \"Pistol\" Mark Allen, Si struggled to maintain his performance, and Allen gradually gained control of the game, eventually winning 6-2 to move on to the quarterfinals.

Karen Wilson 6-4 Zhang Anda

Zhang Anda's loss was particularly unfortunate. Throughout the match, Zhang showed incredible precision in his long pots, earning opportunities to take control of frames. After the match, Karen Wilson praised Zhang for his remarkable long potting accuracy, noting that every time Zhang left a long pot, Wilson felt the pressure.

However, Zhang could not secure victory due to making some costly errors when he had the chance to take control of the match. Wilson, a World Champion, made no mistakes and seized the opportunities, winning 6-4 to eliminate Zhang and reach the quarterfinals.

Luca Brecel 6-3 Ryan Day

This match had a bit of drama. After Brecel took a 5-3 lead and got a match point, Ryan Day had an opportunity to win the ninth frame. Unfortunately, Day made an unforced error when he accidentally nudged a red ball while bridging, a mistake that cost him the match.

Brecel, the 2023 World Champion, made sure not to waste the opportunity, winning the match 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals, showing that the \"Belgian Bullet\" is back.

The quarterfinal matchups are now confirmed:

Neil Robertson vs Shaun Murphy

Mark Allen vs Mark Selby

Judd Trump vs Ding Junhui

2.莫兰德居然变传球高手！他在内线很强硬，策动更有效，拿下8分+19板+10助攻数据，谁会想到他助攻数会这么多！

在第四节的这个阶段，山东几次抢断都选择了在三分线外终结，不知道是邱彪布置这样的战术，迪士尼彩乐园旧版下载还是队员思想就是该投。球员不敢往里面突破，一定程度上也是莫兰德在内线的威慑力，他的盖帽能力确实强。毕竟之前好多回合内线的进攻都被莫兰德防下了，不敢往里打了。山东队的战术在这场有问题，临场应变上邱彪不如杜锋。

Luca Brecel vs Karen Wilson

On January 16th at 21:00 Beijing time, Neil Robertson will face Shaun Murphy in a highly anticipated clash between two \"80s Five Tigers,\" promising to be an exciting battle. On January 17th at 03:00, Mark Allen will meet Mark Selby, with Allen hoping to challenge Selby’s dominance.

For Chinese fans, the most awaited match is Ding Junhui against Judd Trump, scheduled for January 17th at 21:00 Beijing time. The two have faced each other 20 times in official matches, with Trump slightly leading 11-9. Their last encounter was in the first round of the 2024 Champion of Champions, where Trump won 4-0. However, Ding's last victory over Trump came in the 2023 UK Championship semifinals, where Ding triumphed 6-4.

The final quarterfinal will take place at 03:00 on January 18th, between Luca Brecel and Karen Wilson, which will feature the champions of the 2023 and 2024 World Championships, making it a match worth looking forward to!
