On December 20, Beijing time, O'Sullivan won the snooker Grand Prix, which was the 38th crown of his career! After the game, O'Sullivan spoke domineeringly, saying that winning the championship was not important, and enjoying the game was the most important. O'Sullivan also has a very heartfelt sentence, "Some good players haven't won too many games after 30 years old, I'm still playing at 46 and still winning, which is a good thing!" ”
O'Sullivan expressed regret over Neil Robertson's performance, after all, in the first stage, Neil Robertson was in better form, but the score was 4-4. "He should have been ahead of me, but he gave me a chance." O'Sullivan said!
In the second stage, O'Sullivan fell behind 5-7 at one point, but won four consecutive sets to establish the victory and finally won the championship 10-8. "I found the feeling in the back 4 innings and Neil Robertson was a bit unlucky." O'Sullivan said.
O'Sullivan is 46 years old, he's old, but he's still in good shape, O'Sullivan said, "Neil Robertson is playing well, I'm past my peak age. Some things are weird, some good players can't win more after 30, and I'm 46, still winning, still playing. ”
I don't know how Ding Junhui felt when he heard O'Sullivan's remarks. After all, Ding Junhui is only 34 years old, but as O'Sullivan said, it is already difficult to win. In the past, Chinese fans expected Ding Junhui to win the World Championship and achieve a Grand Slam. But now, Ding Junhui does not say that it is getting more and more difficult to win the championship. In the world ranking, Ding Junhui has long fallen out of the top 16. Now the dispute between China's snooker brothers has become Zhao Xintong PK Yan Bingtao, the former won the British Championship, the latter won the Masters championship!
Speaking about why fans like themselves so much, O'Sullivan compared himself to other sports stars, "I can give fans energy, just like Woods, Nadal, Djokovic, Messi!" ”
As for the feeling of winning the championship, O'Sullivan said, "I won, but I can accept losing, and I am enjoying the game and life now!" ”
