The 2021 Snooker England Open has recently attracted the attention of fans, and in just one week, the players have presented wonderful duels for everyone, and all of this has finally reached the final moment of winning the championship.
The two semi-final matches that ended in the early hours of this morning were as intense as the finals, starting with Ronnie O'Sullivan taking the lead 5:3 to reach match point, and then being staged by John Higgins to stage a bizarre reversal and missing out on his first title of the new season.
The other semi-final was equally exciting, Neil Robertson was challenged by the strongest "dark horse" of the tournament, Mark King, and finally Robertson won four consecutive sets after falling behind 4:2, staging a Jedi reversal to eliminate Mark King to reach the final in England.
Interestingly, in the final of last year's English Open, Robertson lost to Trump and regrettably won the runner-up, and Robertson broke through again a year later but looked forward to Higgins, who dreamed of returning to the peak of this season, for this final Robertson is also bluntly looking forward to.
Robertson said in an interview after the semi-finals: "I was lucky to be in the England final again, and I am looking forward to the matchup with Higgins, who is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in history, and I have to take it seriously.
We both had a very good relationship, my family and Higgins' family would come to the final to watch the game, and the two ladies talked in private, believing that they were much happier with their children than we were on the field.
Robertson is once again reaching the final of this event in a year, while Higgins is reaching the final in two consecutive tournaments (Northern Ireland lost to Allen in the final), and for Higgins, it is necessary to give his all.
However, although Higgins and Robertson successfully met in the final, after the game, many fans criticized O'Sullivan and Higgins for "playing a match-fixing and manipulating the game", because the game process was really unbelievable.
The trigger came in the seventh inning, when O'Sullivan had taken a 4-2 lead and won the mobile session, just when the game between the two sides was abruptly interrupted, and O'Sullivan and Higgins left the field until five minutes later.
After returning, O'Sullivan began to make a series of low-level mistakes, the most outrageous of which was the mouth red ball in the bag bag at the bottom of the bag, and the successive mistakes also allowed Higgins to drag the game to the final round, and the final set appeared bizarre again, O'Sullivan advanced the black ball foul, and then forced the attack on the red ball error, Higgins green ball error, O'Sullivan vigorously solved the ball was questioned by the fans.
After the game, the official did not give the specific reason for the two people to leave the field, some said that O'Sullivan could not stand the noise of the scene, and some people said that Higgins was suddenly unwell, but it was precisely because of such a large number of fans that they insisted that the two were suspected of "match fixing".
O'Sullivan and Higgins also gave interviews after the semi-finals, but the interview was nothing more than praise for each other, and O'Sullivan said bluntly that he was not at all frustrated by losing the game, because the victory belonged to Higgins.
The topic of the two-person match on major social platforms is full of words such as "match-fixing manipulation", but the real reason is that only the two of them know, and the useless speculation of fans does not work.
However, objectively speaking, it is believed that O'Sullivan and Higgins' thirty-year friendship will not choose to "play match-fixing" because of the victory or defeat of a game, because for the two of them, the greatest respect for each other is to win on the field. #斯诺克 #
