The 2022 Snooker Masters will finally reignite under the anticipation of the war, and the top sixteen stars will officially assemble to attack the final championship, for which winning the championship will not only mean receiving a prize of 250,000 pounds, but also a supreme honor.
A total of two Chinese players got tickets for this Masters Tournament, namely Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, who have made simple predictions for the four groups of players in the previous article, and let's continue to look at the remaining four groups of top players.
Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Jack Lisowski
The duel between the two sides is destined to be an extremely gorgeous confrontation, the two play very similar, but the overall strength is definitely O'Sullivan is better, excellent positioning and accurate defense are not available to the "little driver".
O'Sullivan also bluntly said that he found the confidence to hit the ball after breaking the championship drought last season, as long as O'Sullivan can play the result of the victory or defeat normally or has been doomed in advance, but what worries the fans is that he is very afraid that The fire teacher will "make old mistakes" on the field, unable to control his emotions and miss the achievement of impacting his eight masters championships.
Mark Selby vs Stephen Maguire
The match was a spear-and-shield showdown, with a defensive master and an offensive striker, maguire was very good at playing against Sel in more than ever, and Maguire officially woke up to bring a brilliant performance in the major matches of each season.
But Maguire, who has always been known for his fiery temper, will probably be affected by Selby's slow offensive rhythm in the game, and like Ronnie, Maguire is also a player who has a hard time controlling his emotions, and if Selby regains his housekeeping skills, Maguire may be doomed.
Iii. Neil Robertson vs Anthony McGill
This group has an absolute upper hand in both overall strength and psychology against Robertson, and although McGill has achieved good results in the past two seasons, he may have no chance of winning when he encounters this "Melbourne machine".
For Robertson, the loss of the World Grand Prix to O'Sullivan is also a breath of relief, and Robertson, the favourite to win the Masters, will definitely occupy a seat, after all, watching the increasing number of Selby's three major championships, Robertson will certainly not give up.
Sean Murphy vs Barry Hawkins
Hawkins, who has always been known for his glass heart, is still in the world's top sixteen position this season, which is enough to see his strength that cannot be underestimated, although Hawkins has a slim chance of winning the championship, but don't forget that he is recognized as a top four professional.
Coupled with Murphy's recent heavy pressure of public opinion and continued to be "death threats" from fans (see previous articles for details), there will inevitably be some problems in the state and mentality, as long as Hawkins can not make the old mistakes of this group duel or is more optimistic that Hawkins can finally win.
The above predictions only represent personal views, fans interested in the other four groups of matchmaking situation can look at the previous article, this Masters will officially start on January 9, and it remains to be seen who can finally win the championship.
