The 2022 Snooker Masters finally ended the final after a short week of competition, with the two title contenders Being Neil Robertson and Master Hawkins, known as melbourne machines.
Although the Masters are invitational tournaments, the gold content is second only to the existence of the World Championships, and the championship prize money of up to 250,000 is more attractive to many players, but this honor can only be obtained by the top sixteen players in the world ranking.
The two players in this final, Neil Robertson and Barry Hawkins, have played each other 25 times before, Robertson is in the upper hand with 15 wins and 10 losses, and has maintained a total victory in the last few matches, although the two are less than three years apart in age, but the overall strength is Robertson's overall advantage.
As we all know, Hawkins is not only known as the top four professionals, but also known as the glass heart by fans, and Robertson has always been known for his stability and is known as a ruthless hundred-breaking machine, objectively speaking, Hawkins wants to defeat Robertson's chances are slim.
The first stage of the game between the two sides can be described as a mistake is constantly too dull, Robertson is also rare to fail to enter the state of the first four sets of the two to fight to 2:2, after the break back Roberts still made mistakes, but Hawkins could not seize the opportunity and even had a succession of foul penalties, in the face of such a situation Robertson had to laugh at the gift in the first stage to take a 5:3 lead.
The two sides began a second-stage tiebreaker after a short break, but the break did not make the two feel a little warm but continued the first stage of the state, Hawkins completely lost the firepower of the semi-final against Trump, Robertson although also low-level mistakes frequent but won in the occasional bench, after four sets Robertson continued to expand the advantage 8:4.
After returning from the last break, Hawkins made a low-level mistake while Robertson blasted his second shot of the game to reach match point under the pressure of constant boos on the road.
Throughout the entire showdown can be described as the most dreary Masters final ever, the two feel ridiculously poor, Hawkins is in the case of many times to win the low-level mistakes, the audience even after a few sets of Robertson mistakes continue to boo to support Hawkins, but the properties of Hawkins glass heart is still frequently revealed.
Robertson's status as a non-native player did suffer from different audience support treatment from Hawkins, when Hawkins scored, the scene always burst into warm applause, to Robertson's side is obviously too cold, but in any case, I still have to congratulate Robertson on winning the championship, not only gained 250,000 pounds but also increased the number of Masters titles of his career to two, the total number of three major championships increased to six closely followed by Selby, but also opened up the gap between roberts and Trump.
At this point, the Masters came to a successful end, although this final was slightly inferior to the previous rounds, but the weight of the championship was self-evident, and finally congratulated Robertson on winning the championship again, looking forward to the next more wonderful performance.
