Young Snooker Promise Si Jiahui vs Anthony McGill | 2023 WSC QF

foreign for the final mid-session interval I cut this into the middle pocket oh excellent shot that's okay come on excellent shot yeah I was gonna say Joe I think one of the other factors at play here as we witness a slight dip in standard understandably so when they started out this match they probably both expected to be playing O'Sullivan in the next round and now they both know they're not with respect to Luca Brazil obviously an incredible form himself Fort doesn't pose the same threat 15. that's Ronnie O'Sullivan Choice here top it through for the black in the right corner or screw back off the bunch like in the left corner foreign [Applause] yeah he's okay here but scratching his head didn't really want to be moving away from the scoring Zone quite so quickly 31. red left and right of the paint should be comfortable to land on yeah so he's recovered it nicely for the first time this evening from either play up get one chance and make it count 34. 41 now just needs to judge the cannon here looks like he's going to be running into traffic these can go wrong fought it's kind of gone wrong still on this black but now this is very miscible [Applause] yeah it was a wonderful part on the black now a chance for Anthony counter-attack we've seen his situation before this evening see Joey looking set to win the frame slips up and honestly come to the table very inviting eight nine there's six already about when and how Anthony decides to tackle that red on the right hand side cushion opposite the pink [Applause] other than that it's hard to see where this is going to go wrong 24. should be together 25. foreign [Applause] possibly leave an angle on the black pop the black move the red away from the side cushion and leave himself on the one closest to the corner that's what he's played and that's what he's got fantastic shot a little bit more into the middle of the table 48. well we say the wrong side of straight what you mean by that is the angle is taking him away from where he wants to go so he can choose to really power this black in and get closer to the red whatever he decides it's not straightforward now I think he can force it on and off the cushion if he wanted to but makes the black missable foreign having a go at this red he'll desperately want to try and drop it in but it's far too difficult surely Anthony McGill 54. yeah disappointing end to that parade transom and McGill a couple of times seizure we has found himself out of position and has gone for one too many in my opinion cute where's this red going oh surely not things that happen on the snooker table [Music] [Applause] spoons probably too embarrassed to play so following the fluke four and one good shot here we could be level again no he's not got away with that one that was a nervy one two five he's played that nicely six points ahead just brown and blue 14. well played Anthony McGill 15 ahead now managed to cope with his emotions following that incredible fluke from seizure wheat Anthony McGill 40. [Music] yourself finally and there are plenty of moments in that first opening four frames of this session that weren't pretty um it's all just going a bit ragged isn't it very very nervy out there despite the two frame advantage that Anthony has one six seven they'll be looking for the angle we had previously to get into the bunch top side of blue here just missed the blue that looks ideal so hit the pink full in the face I hope you get a little bit of luck oh he deserves it he hit him pretty good oh yeah it's near McGill now nearly 36 minutes without putting a ball [Music] and you see the current pots each [Applause] across the table pressed on this red closest to the back cushion but this looks a bit narrow so maybe on this occasion he will be rewarded for playing the snooker I miss misjudged that by quite some distance and this is now a clear opportunity to win this Frame just the black required foreign [Applause] I think both players will be very pleased to see the back of this Frame 16. 17. well enough doesn't matter he'll be delighted let's close the gap he now trials 11 frames to 10. yeah I think Steve's hit the nail on the head there this is a Scramble for the line now as well as getting to the semis obviously you've seen plenty of those this tournament [Applause] it's desperately unlucky to finish there anywhere but there and he could have potted a color he's not thinking about the blue surely free credit see Joe six seven [Applause] fourteen fifteen even the way for the last quarter to finish at The Crucible now the wall has gone up play finished on the other table yeah he's not ideal here just be fully committed not exactly what red you're playing for I mean this is cubot wow yeah I don't think the shot Lane was actually on anyway chance is gone continues 22. I have to say even though Anthony McGill's in front he looks like he's struggling yes cjb's missed a few but Anthony looks old at sea at the moment foreign yeah just taking the extra points you wonder whether the fact that he's been here and done this before six got to the semi-finals as we mentioned has experienced how special it is maybe the fact that his opponent doesn't know that he's working to see Joey's Advantage at the moment he's able to play with a little bit more freedom yeah quite looking that way [Applause] needs that Cube also stop right there that's okay better to use the cushion here get through the cue ball a bit better well everyone's gone very very nice it's been like this all night Anthony almost looked there like he didn't want to come to the table one no Kenny get it back together normally this is a fantastic chance when you would fully expect him to make the most of no 16. 17. [Applause] 20. he has one two drinking events the shootout and the 2016 Indian open so he does know how to win and if he were to take this Frame 26. I have to think it would be a mountain to climb 20 Subs issue they're not going in the middle of the pocket 32 I'm not just increases the tension you can see Anthony send a little smile to himself there he's feeling it out there yeah that was coming he nearly missed the blue and he's talking to himself he's really really suffering out there I've never seen Anthony McGill like this I've got to be honest one okay so as our points ahead absolute formality to open them reds but if he gets any kind of angle on the pink searching goes nicely 40. great chance to level the scores once again have he said it's a poor shot that was a big Target there frame very much still in the balance [Applause] well thinning out of bulk but that was incredibly accurate one [Applause] that yellow is now a problem oh I called it slightly three-quarter Ball but on the right side foreign when you leave players of this standard the hand on the table [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] yeah that was the trouble the more ambitious you try to be with position the more difficult you make the part blue pink or black off this red will be enough oh please miss the red you can't believe it whatever's gonna happen next well there was a lot of body movement on that one getting very nervy out there [Applause] don't worry about it on the color Anthony McGill one yeah and he's caught the brown it was always a possibility but it's his turn to get a bit of luck what's up I miss it second time around how's it going to finish not too bad you'd have to say thank you while the yellow has run loose has he left it this time you can just get to it foreign left hand side round the angles not behind the blue surely all the places to finish oh and he hasn't got it safe he's gonna need a little bit of luck here and I don't think he's going to get it Anthony McGill two yeah it took a long time over that oh you played that nicely three [Applause] goes [Applause] well he's done well 12 whatever the circumstance whatever the state of the frames you've still gotta pop the winning balls and that's exactly what he's doing incredible once more we're now all square 11 frames a piece assistant what does frame 23 have in store for us we can play into the bunch where he gets it slightly wrong leaving possible pattern for C yeah that's what he's done it wasn't simple that and the pink is available what for the blue adrenaline too close to this cushion I like the cannon to the pink here full pace switch that off please what a time for your phone to go off six I'm clearing this red will clear the path for the red above the black to pot and with the black in plate this could turn into a good chance very quickly [Applause] again short of pace 12th and if he's taking this on this is so tough yeah that was so difficult digging down from under the side cushion and he hasn't got away with it so Charles McGill one somewhere near that Circle would leave in the red by the Black didn't mean to Canon the pink and if he's not what yeah he's apologized there he's not what he intended but he'll take it could that be what changes into his fortunes 4. so Choice again he's smiling he knows the right shot play into the bunch yeah well played isn't it always the way no incredible Anthony McGill no the Red's close brother Anthony can hit one of those Reds onto it's going to stun the cue ball off that red near the Black onto the red over the pocket he hit it and not potted it well you don't see many reactions from Anthony McGill I don't think I've ever seen him react like that such as the pressure out there could have left something slightly easier than this this is very tricky foreign for me so down onto the red next to the black and this looks just about perfect as well definitely six see Joey looking the caller of the two seven oh I didn't want to nurse the black you don't really want to be playing anything that's remotely missable 14 so impressed see Joey he's not played absolute best in this match by a long way but it's temperament it's so impressive for someone so young 22. 23. yeah but I felt that was the right shot so 34 point lead edging ever close up in this Frame 31. [Applause] must play up for the blue here if possible 38 two open Reds that he needs are down at that end the place for the black here he's making it harder for himself 39 need to play that on and off the cushion and another slice of Good Fortune comes the way of sea shall we he wasn't on anything until the kiss on the blue here wanted the cue ball to stop there [Applause] 40 just this red and the blue and Anthony McGill will need a snooker this contribution from sijoy has been magnificent really needs to pop this red otherwise Anthony will carry on I'm sure young man 56. [Applause] they're coming out now [Applause] just needs a bounce 60. 67 every one of these parts now like torture for Anthony Miguel 16 shot in his chair he just wants out of there compose himself 40 hopes is the next two frames 72. 6 now [Applause] 81. [Applause] well he has missed the black but what an amazing break of 87 that was seizure LED in this match since frame part nine but has he timed his run to Perfection he now leads 12 frames to 11. yeah but something's got to change it really is I struggled the hardest one of the lot and in a strange way that could reverse the pressure and take some of the pressure off Anthony McGill can he find something just like C Joey did in the previous frame not gonna help it's nine sixteen I don't think he played for this red into the middle pocket but he's on it seven not playing for the black tells me that he intends to pop the brown here and send that cue ball crashing into the Reds there's a brilliant gap between the main bunch and those two next to the pink if he hits that they could go everywhere [Applause] and we didn't quite get the Gap but I think he's on this red over the left hand corner pocket for a second for what's going on he probably thought that red was going in the corner 22. understandably clearly didn't want to play for the black not into the right corner anyway let's drop that one nicely [Applause] 26 but you feel if he's going to win the frame at this visit can't keep coming up for port colors I think he has to play the blue here Joe get it back on its spot make this break easier but he's not playing the green now but he just needed a few extra inches there to be perfect on that red [Applause] 37 we'll have to play for the black in the same pocket and there's not a great deal of room to land nicely on the black this has got to be struck well that looks just about perfect well played now a little gentle cannon on the red above the black it's incredible Sean isn't it he's been in front all night tonight and looks so under pressure as soon as he goes behind for the first time it's like a weights off his shoulders yeah incredible everything about this break's been different than what's gone before it's got on with it 54. we're going to have some late night Crucible drama 61. 62. just this black excellent I find out a lot about yourself in these moments and whatever happens he can be proud that when he got his chance stood up 77 78 . [Applause] remarkable in itself relax this length [Applause] 89. 90 playing with complete freedom and what a finish we're in for here Joe 97 . that is truly incredible well Sean we haven't had a clue who's going to win this match at any stage this evening 108 112. 170. 120 brilliant it's black for a total clearance of a hundred and thirty incredible what a performance we are going to a decider scores are all level 12 each who will be the winner [Applause] foreign [Applause] what a reaction both these players got touching ball not sure snooker in seizure we here carries much value [Applause] oh Anthony Miguel six foreign [Applause] until the last two frames you wouldn't have thought first chance would be that important when he caught that one much too thin a couple of kisses I've helped him out thank you not so much bigger misjudgment caught that red much too thick what damage has he done Kansas high get through to any of these Reds it's very tight through the Gap those two Reds for the red near is the corner Pockets desperate to play it [Applause] foreign was heading how do you get my color all you can do really is just hit it hard and Trust the luck yeah I was just gonna say that Joe [Applause] his face with here what a massive shot enough two cushions for choice of Reds what a shot that was and he's just landed hampered on the red on the side cushion for the easy red so another good pot needed here and this time just catches the knuckle seven well whatever happens seizure wheat has had a chance will he get another and he went for the plant look at the cue ball we'll be more than happy with that [Applause] these are dangerous moments now for both players look how the reds are spread pink on its spot Blues in play is he going for this long red and is he holding for the pink or screwing out the danger area amazing we will see some incredible pots over the championship under the circumstances has got to be a contender yes the pressure is immense it 14. this is seizure's 150 and 13th frame of this world championship this has gone wrong anywhere but there wow this is some shot it's the right shot if it goes in it's definitely the wrong shot if it doesn't suit your boy [Applause] in the deal [Applause] needs the blue to help him with that red I think that Red's possible so is the one nearest the corner pocket impossible for seizure to play the red next to the blue with any hope of safety should it go wrong [Music] it was a good effort he was always leaving this red to left corner and this is possible so is this Anthony McGill was first chance in this deciding frame [Applause] I just think that by putting the black the cue ball would naturally run into the yellow which is why he's not played it Anthony McGill one I think that's what he's considering twice across the table with extreme amounts of right hand side yeah that's not what he played he hangs his head a little bit as he walks back has he just played his last shot only switched hands to play this and he caught the wrong red first it's a mistake one [Applause] nice drop that one well it's just incredible shot off the big shot standing up being counted eight some adrenaline flowing there didn't you get into that cue ball so 30 points the lead can he get on a red if he does it could be the end well he's on a couple of Reds not as easy as they could have been 13. this is a tough shot see Joey also capable of switching hands he's lovely red for a left-hander don't like this I have to say playing with you not your correct hand at this moment it's all in see Joey's hands now he's done all the hard work to get himself in this position 21 and I am absolutely so impressed with how he's played Nancy McGill has given everything Judd Trump in the first round and Jack lazowski to get to the quarterfinals 28. seizure now needs this pink off the spot and one more red to be in the semi-finals life 34. what an amazing performance incredible yep truly incredible absolutely tremendous effort is that a sign of a future world champion possibly this year world champion 41 he gives it everything as always Anthony McGill needs three four point Snookers to tie with Reds and blacks needs to be on the black though needs to be on the black otherwise it's all over it's touching Ball please declare but can he get through to the black doesn't look like it from his reaction sorry Greenville Anthony McGill one oh foreign [Applause] to get back into this Frame or even the free ball should it happen isn't going to do the job and that brown blue and yellow is a lovely Target it needs to be a little bit careful he has got more than one foot in the semi-final he's got one foot and two arms and a whole body in there [Applause] and you can see the look on Anthony's face he's absolutely gutted him again true sports for me is congratulations 20 year old from China having the tournament of his life the dream continues we'll see him again in the semi-final tomorrow congratulations young man [Music] foreign [Music]
