**2026 World Snooker Championship: 16 Stars Vie for Quarterfinal Berths**

The first round of the 2026 World Snooker Championship has concluded， with Neil Robertson clinching the final spot by defeating Pang Junxu 10-6. Now， 16 elite players are set for the round of 16， where most matches pit top-16 competitors against each other—only the clash between Hossein Vafaei and Judd Trump breaks this pattern， adding a dash of uncertainty to the lineup.

Among all upcoming showdowns， the Chinese derby between Zhao Xintong and Ding Junhui is the talk of the tournament. Fans and analysts dub this a "clash of China’s snooker titans，" but the odds lean sharply toward Zhao， with a 78% chance of advancing versus Ding’s 22%. While Ding holds a 4-2 overall head-to-head record，开云体育官方网站 - KAIYUN all but one of those wins came before 2019. Their only recent meeting—at the Shanghai Masters earlier this season—saw Zhao dominate 6-1， leaving many skeptical of Ding’s ability to pull off an upset now.

Another highly anticipated clash is between 75-era legends John Higgins and Ronnie O’Sullivan. Their rivalry spans 76 matches， with O’Sullivan leading 41-35. Most recently， O’Sullivan blanked Higgins 4-0 at the 2024 World Masters， and bookmakers give him a 65% chance to progress， while Higgins trails at 35%.

- Shaun Murphy holds a 6-2 lead over Xiao Guodong after the first stage， with a 64% chance to advance against Xiao’s 36%.

- Neil Robertson， fresh from his first-round win， faces Sam Wakelin. Robertson’s 7-2 head-to-head record and 68% probability make him the clear favorite over Wakelin’s 32%.

In the lower half:

- World number one Judd Trump is the overwhelming favorite against Vafaei， with an 82% chance. Trump leads their 15-match history 11-4， including a 5-1 win at the 2026 World Open.

- Mark Williams and Barry Hawkins have closely matched odds: Williams at 55% versus Hawkins’45%. Their 27 meetings see Williams ahead 20-7， though Hawkins won their last clash at the 2026 Welsh Open 4-2.

- Mark Selby is favored over Wu Yize (61% vs 39%). Wu has yet to beat Selby in their 6 past encounters.

- Karen Wilson and Mark Allen have a tight race: Wilson at 58% despite Allen leading 5-3 after the first stage. Their 18-match history has Wilson ahead 10-8， and with a best-of-13 format， the result remains up in the air.
