Ryan Day, the world number 18, and seven-time champion Ronnie O’Sullivan faced off in the World Snooker Championship last-16 match. The two players have a history of facing each other at the Crucible, with O’Sullivan emerging victorious in a close match back in 2006.
In the opening frames of the match, O’Sullivan made impressive breaks of 123 and 84, taking a commanding lead over Day. However, Day fought back and managed to level the score with an impressive break of his own.
The two players continued to trade blows throughout the session, with O’Sullivan leading 4-2 after breaks of 83 and 51. But Day responded with a break of 115 in the last frame of the session, showing that he was not to be underestimated.
As they prepare for round two on Sunday, O’Sullivan holds a two-frame advantage over Day. The best of 25 frames match will resume on Sunday, with fans eagerly anticipating an exciting conclusion on Monday.
