The 2021 Snooker Scottish Open ended the semi-finals, both semi-finals were unexpectedly one-sided, in a high-profile "75 doubles" showdown, "Rocket" O'Sullivan encountered Waterloo, the two sides only played seven sets to divide the winner and loser, Higgins opened up with full firepower to easily defeat the opponent 6:1, to advance to the final, this is the "Wizard" Higgins in nearly a month or so to advance to the snooker championship runner-up final, and O'Sullivan is once again out of the strong dialogue, In the British Championship that ended last week, O'Sullivan lost to world number five Karen Wilson in the quarter-finals. In another match, Belgian star Brechel continued his recent fiery feel, in the semi-final with McGill, Brechel was equally fierce, and finally he won 6:1, following last week's British Championship final, back-to-back to two ranking finals, he will compete with Higgins for the Scottish Open title.
"Rocket" O'Sullivan and "Wizard" Higgins is a famous "75 three masters" members, both of their careers are very brilliant, the two have won the World Championship championship a total of 10 times, although the age is not small, but the competitive state is still quite outstanding, before this game Higgins in the last four games three times to reach the final, but in the British Championship match defeated the last champion Zhao Xintong and stopped in the third round, although in the end only won the runner-up, but the stability is still commendable. Higgins and O'Sullivan's peak showdown was supposed to be a match between the two sides, but in the end it unexpectedly showed a one-sided situation, in the first game Higgins single shot 76 points and then won the next city with a 112:0 clean sheet, in the second game O'Sullivan although got on the mobile phone, but the ball was not good Enough to attack after 8 points, Higgins won another set after playing many times, and in the third game Higgins single shot 125 points and won, leading 3:0, In the fourth inning, O'Sullivan woke up like a dream and single-handedly blasted 86 points to win back a set.
In the fifth game O'Sullivan's form did not change because of the fourth inning win, but worse than the first four innings, Higgins attacked continuously around the low score, although he did not play a single high score, but still ensured to win this set, the big score was 4:1, in the sixth game Higgins single shot 74 points after winning, O'Sullivan did not score a single point in two consecutive innings, in the seventh game Higgins single shot 98 points and then kept a clean sheet again after the "Rockets", the total score was 6:1 easy to beat O'Sullivan, following the Northern Ireland Open, After reaching the final of the English Open and the Championship of Champions, he advanced to the final for the fourth time in the past month. In this game, O'Sullivan played poorly, in addition to the fourth inning to win back a city, the lost six innings only scored a total of 16 points, four of which were not scored, it can be said that it was a fiasco to Higgins, O'Sullivan ranked 38th crown is still far away, Higgins reached the final for the fourth time after the sword champion, the first three times he fell on the last step, this time I believe he will not let the "tragedy" repeat, Higgins' stability is worthy of all players to learn and respect.
Higgins to avoid the embarrassing "four consecutive Asia" may also be quite difficult, his final opponent is the Belgian famous Brechel, Brechel's comprehensive strength is certainly not as good as Higgins, but recently his state is bursting, last week's British Championship he passed the hurdle to advance to the final, this week he opened all the fire to advance to the final. In the semi-finals, Brechel faced McGill, objectively speaking, Brechel's attack in this game was decent, but McGill's performance was even worse, in the first set of the game Brechel played a single shot of 96 points and then the next city took the lead, the second set of the game the two sides fell into a bitter battle, Brecher finally seized the opportunity to win 60:51, the third game Brechel continued to work hard to win another set, the big score 3:0 lead. In the fourth set, the two sides were in a state of anxiety again, but it was Brechel who laughed at the end, and in the fifth set Brechel did not score a single high score, but still won 58:1. McGill, who trailed 0-5, pulled back a set after a 90-point blast in the sixth inning, and in the seventh game, Brechel did not give his opponent another chance, and after a single shot of 54 points, he narrowly won again, sweeping McGill 6-1 on aggregate and reaching the snooker Scottish Open final back-to-back.
