On January 16, 2022, the Snooker Masters ushered in the final. After a few days of exciting matches, the two players who reached the finals were Robertson and Hawkins. Little, who played very well in both the first and second rounds, lost to Hawkins in the semifinals and burst into tears. The final will be divided into a first and second half, with the first half playing tonight at 21:00 and the second half playing at 3:00 a.m. the next day (17th).
Hawkins and Robertson have played each other 26 times in the past, with Barry Hawkins slightly at a disadvantage with 10 wins, 1 draw and 15 defeats. Born in '82, Robertson is ranked No. 4 in the world and currently has won 21 ranking tournaments. His most recent title win was at this season's English Open, where Robertson beat Higgins 9-8 in the final. Born in '79, Hawkins is ranked 10th in the world and eliminated Selby 6-1 in the second round. Although he won, he only shot 2 50+ in the whole game, and the play was not good. In the semi-finals, Hawkins won the final ticket to trump Trump 6-5.
Trump, ranked No. 2 in the world, scored a 3-shot 100 and 2-50+ against Mark Allen in the first round, and an easy 6-1 win against Karen Wilson in the second round, shooting 5 shots 50+, which was in very good shape and could be said to be the favorite to win the tournament. In the match against Hawkins, Little shot a 4-shot 50+, barry Hawkins shot a 3-shot 50+ and a 1-shot 100. Little was upset by Hawkins' 50+ clean sheet in two consecutive innings with a 50+ clean sheet in the lead of one set of match points.

In the third inning, the small special feel was still online, and the single shot 63 points rebounded to lead 2-1. In the fourth set, the two sides began to fight, each with its own mistakes, and after several attacks and defenses, Hawkins had a slight advantage, and finally pulled the score to a 2-2 draw at 59-49.
In the fifth inning after a short break, Hawkins felt good after the break, directly playing a single 60 points, and once again took the lead in the second half. After the rest, Xiaote seemed to have the switch turned off, and frequent mistakes were made. In the sixth inning, after the little Teres got started, the effect was not good, Hawkins started to shoot a single 124 points, 124-14 to win another set. In the seventh set, Little pulled back a set 78-19 through several starts. In the eighth inning, Little played a single 65 points to tie the score 78-21, and the score was 4-4.
