In the 2022 Snooker Masters final, Australian Artillery Neil Robertson played against Hawkins. Compared with the grandeur of the semi-finals, the final is not shocking.
In the first half, after the two sides made mistakes in the first set, Hawkins scored the last red ball on the bench and won the first set. In the second set, Robertson played twice, and a 41-pointer will overtake the score, and Hawkins struggled fruitlessly. In the 3rd inning, Robertson blasted a shot to break the hundred. In the 4th set, Robertson conceded a simple black ball that Hawkins won. After a short break, Robertson made a mistake in the red ball after 33 points, Hawkins fouled the green ball after a single shot of 60, and also sent a free kick, Robertson cleared the stage for a single set reversal. In the 6th inning, Robertson made a simple blue ball mistake after 54 points, but then Hawkins pink balled a mistake in the bag, and Robertson added another 54 points to make it 4-2. In the 7th set, after the two sides missed each other's chances, Hawkins just overtook the score, Robertson came up and fought hard, and finally Hawkins fainted into the coffee ball and chased back a set. In the 8th inning, Robertson took the bench and scored a 73-pointer to end the first half 5-3.
The score was still scorching in the first half, but in the second half, Hawkins was in a rout. In the 9th inning, Robertson scored 50 points to set the edge. In the 10th inning, Hawkins seized on Robertson's error and scored a 69-pointer. The two sides were still two sets apart, but robertson won four straight sets since then. In the 11th inning, Robertson scored 68 points. In the 12th inning, after both sides had simple ball errors, Robertson scored a red ball on the bench. In the 13th set, Hawkins made a mistake in the red ball, leaving Robertson a good situation, and Robertson broke the hundred clearances. In the 14th set, Robertson scored a 40+ to seal the win and win 10-4.
Congratulations to Robertson for reaching the Masters final for the fourth time and the Masters for the second time after beating Murphy in 2012, while offering a £250,000 championship prize.

In addition, off-field news, Selby explained the recent downturn in the game because depression was committed again. I hope Master Sai will recover soon.
After the Masters, the tournament will spin back and forth, and tonight's third phase of the Champions League will continue.
