The 2022 Snooker Masters Beijing time ended the final semi-final match. Barry Hawkins replicated Neil Robertson's approach to qualify, reversing world No. 2 Trump to advance to the finals at a trailing disadvantage. After 5 years, Hawkins once again advanced to the final, and the fans barrage message: To win the championship!
Trump's match against Hawkins was a really exciting one. The two men were in a bitter fight at the beginning, and you came and went to Hawkins to win the first set 72-61. Immediately after, Trump found the feel, and scored 86 and 63 points in two consecutive sets to win the score. In the 4th set, the game was even more heart-wrenching, and Hawkins struggled to win back another set at 59-49.
Hawkins then got into shape, scoring 60 and 124 consecutive points to beat Trump 4-2. In the 7th set, the two were repeatedly caught up in offensive and defensive battles, and Trump slowly gained the upper hand, taking the lead with two strokes 50 plus 5-4 to get the match point. The fans watching the game at this moment are convinced that Trump is going to advance to the final.
In the 10th set, Hawkins took the lead and made a mistake just as he was about to overtake the score, and Trump saw some opportunities and rushed to attack, ultimately leaving Hawkins with a chance. Hawkins once again scored a single 76 points to reach the decider.
In the 11th inning, this inning was worth at least £40,000. After the kick-off, Trump made a defensive mistake, and Hawkins made a mistake after taking the lead and played the super point, and had to turn to defense. At this point, Trump only needed a snooker and still had a chance, but unfortunately Trump once again chose to rush to attack. Leaving another chance, Hawkins single-shot 58 points to seal the victory, successfully reversed Trump to advance to the final.
In the last two innings, Trump did not get a single point, which was a pity. As early as 5 years ago, in 2016, Hawkins also beat Trump in the semi-finals of the Masters to reach the final, and finally lost to Roninho Sullivan and missed the championship.
After five years, Hawkins reached the Masters final again, with the opportunity to impact the first Masters championship of his career. In this Masters, Hawkins can be described as a fierce rival after the 80s, first eliminating Sean Murphy, then defeating Mark Selby, and now eliminating Trump, which can be described as imposing. The final will be a title battle in Neil Robertson.
Whether Hawkins can win the first Masters title remains to be seen!
