On January 17, 2022, Beijing time, the latest news, Neil Robertson, who won the Masters championship again, said in an interview that he beat Hawkins to win the championship purely because he was too lucky. Because his match with Mark Williams ended early, he had more time to rest and train. Hawkins, however, was not so lucky, as the latter's match against Trump was not only played later in time, but both of them also held out until the final innings. So Robertson believes that his victory is mainly based on Hawkins's lack of rest, and he has taken a big advantage in this matter. At the same time, Robertson also hopes to be able to balance his personal life and work in the next time.
Robertson: I was too lucky to beat Hawkins
Looking back on the experience of the Masters final again, Robertson thinks he won the game because he was too lucky. Robertson said: "When I came back to the picture of the game, I thought I was too lucky to win the game. The game with Williams went first, which gave me some advantages for rest and physical recovery. Hawkins and Trump's match didn't end until very late, so when he reached the final, he hadn't recovered from the wasting of the previous game. If it was my game going on in the back, maybe I would end up losing the game, so I feel really lucky. Hawkins, on the other hand, was relatively unlucky, and I have some regrets about what happened to him. But that's the way the game is, and I'm happy to be able to win it. ”
Robertson: The cheers from the fans are my motivation
For Robertson, it was his pleasure that fans were on the field again, as he experienced no fans last year. That scene was still fresh in his memory, so Robertson was thrilled by the fans' contribution. Robertson said: "Every game brings a lot of challenges and it's a pleasure to be here. When the Masters were announced last year, the crowd came back, but then they went into the race without spectators, which was very disappointing, so it was fantastic to hear cheers in London again. The game was very tough for me and I had a lot of mistakes with Hawkins. But because I have strengths in terms of fitness and rest, I can find this Hawkins in better shape. When all goes well, the fan contribution is obvious. Because their cheers are always my motivation to perform better, and I am very grateful for their efforts. ”
Robertson: I need to balance life and work
After winning the championship again, Robertson decided that his next thing to do was to spend the holidays with his family, because he needed to balance his personal life and work. Robertson said: "Next, I may withdraw from some of the tournaments to ensure that I can spend more time with my family. It's about balancing and doing things that work for you if I have to miss some weird games. So I'll go to a couple of football games, or let Miller get a good night's sleep and get up with Penelope at 6 a.m., and that's it, I've reached the perfect balance and my snooker is getting the most out of it. In fact, when I have a good life, my career will also be very smooth. In previous years, some things in my family always touched my heart, I had a hard time balancing life and work, and I had a terrible time. But now it's different, and I'm enjoying the benefits of this balance. So it's good to quit some of the tournaments appropriately, after all, I can't participate in all the events, I just hope that I can take those events seriously. ”
