On December 13, Beijing time, the final of the 2021 Snooker Scottish Open, Higgins lost 5-9 to Brechel four times in the season and won the runner-up. However, Brechel, who won the championship after the game, showed the style that snooker sports should have, and he took the initiative to bow to Higgins and express his respect for the legendary player. After losing to Zhao Xintong last week and missing out on the British Championship, Brechel did not bow down, back-to-back to the final, and successfully won the second ranking championship.
Zhao Xintong and Brechel have won the championship successively, representing the snooker's post-90s finally awakened! Brechel deserves recognition for both his skills and his balls, and these days he is also crazy to suck powder. After defeating veteran Higgins, Brechel bowed to Higgins amid cheers from the audience! At this moment, we feel the charm of the snooker movement.
Snooker calls it "gentleman's sport," but some players' behaviors and movements are not atmospheric enough. After Murphy lost to China's non-professional player Scarlett In the first round of the British Championship last month, he obviously could not afford to lose, and shelled amateur players should not participate, triggering a big discussion in the snooker industry, but the World Taiwan Federation and O'Sullivan and other famous players have expressed a negative attitude towards Murphy. If O'Sullivan's bizarre remarks lie in his "pride", then Murphy's remarks are really disappointing and a bit beyond the bottom line.
Brechel also generously congratulated Zhao Xintong after losing to Zhao Xintong in the final of the British Championship, and won the championship in the final of this Scottish Open, and bowed to Higgins, showing a good image of a new generation of snookers.
Has the overall landscape of snooker changed? Whether Zhao Xintong, Brechel, including Yan Bingtao, and other post-90s and post-00s generations can replace the rule of the post-70s and post-80s, we continue to pay attention to.
