In the early morning of December 13, Beijing time, the snooker Scottish Open came to a successful end, and finally the Belgian genius Brechel defeated Higgins 9-5 in the first stage of 6-2 leadership, sending wizards 4 consecutive Asians while sweeping away the haze of british championship defeat, winning the second ranking championship of his career, winning 70,000 pounds and the championship qualification next season, returning to the TOP16 after two seasons, and contributing to the second back-to-back ranking tournament in the history of the post-90s.
With this title, Brechel rose to 15th in the world rankings, squeezing another post-90s "uncrowned king" Lissovsky out of the top 16 ranks, which is Brechel's return to this queue after falling out of the top 16 in the 2019/20 season. In terms of the total number of post-90s ranking championships, Brechel equaled Michael White and McGill, both second only to Karen Wilson with 2 ranking championships, and Zhao Xintong, although only one British Championship champion, has the highest gold content among all the post-90s ranking champions.
It is worth noting that Brechel's victory created an embarrassing record for the Wizards, and 4 consecutive asian in a single season also directly chased the magical performance of the Rockets in the single season of 5 consecutive asian in a single season. And Brechel's victory this time contributed to another record, that is, the post-90s won back-to-back championships again, the last time was in 2017, when Michael White won the Championship in Brechel China, won consecutive championships in the Paul Hunt Classic, this time, Brechel won the championship again after Zhao Xintong won the championship, opening a short highlight moment for the post-90s professional players.
Such a result for the entire snooker world, in the post-70s has not yet withdrawn from the historical stage, the post-80s comprehensive suppression, 00-back corner overtaking background, is a post-90s eyebrow raising, Brechel this time together with Zhao Xintong, proving that the post-90s is not only a witness to history, but also the creator of history. I hope that the post-90s generation will create brilliant achievements in future competitions and make the competition of professional snooker more intense.
Brechel's path to the title:
4-1 Yusenbach, 4-2 Perry, 4-3 Pang Junxu, 4-1 O'Brien, 5-4 Serte, 6-1 McGill, 9-5 Higgins
