Jack Lisowski, a hit on black and a flying rook

Ranked 13th in the world, Lisowski now plays against Anthony McGill (21st in the world) in the WC snooker round of 16.

We remind you that McGill made the first big surprise after the Crucible, the Scot bypassed Judd Trump, the winner of the competition in 2019 and a finalist in 2011 and 2022, in the first round.​
