2023 British Open latest results, Last 16 schedule, date, time, & venue
Ishpreet Singh Chadha of India achieved a significant milestone in his budding career as he secured a notable victory by defeating the 2015 World Champion, Stuart Bingham, with a score of 4-2 at the Cazoo British Open in Cheltenham. After the match was tied at 2-2, Singh Chadha clinched the win with remarkable breaks of 69 and 71. As a result, he earned a spot in the last 32 and will face the former Crucible semi-finalist, David Gilbert.
In an impressive performance, Kyren Wilson reached the 400th century of his career as he convincingly defeated the world number three, Mark Allen, with a score of 4-0. Wilson showcased his skills with breaks of 112 and 121 on his way to victory. His next challenge will be against Barry Hawkins in the last 32. Unfortunately, Mark Allen’s defeat dashes his hopes of surpassing Ronnie O’Sullivan as the world number one. Allen needed to win the event to claim the top spot in the world rankings, which means that Ronnie O’Sullivan will continue to hold the position for the time being.
Robbie Williams delivered a surprising 4-1 victory over the four-time World Champion, John Higgins, earning his spot in the last 32. This victory marks his second win against Higgins, following his 5-4 victory at the 2020 German Masters. Williams showcased his skills with runs of 73, 91, 52, and 118 during today’s match. His next opponent will be Scott Donaldson.
