Players Tournament丨 O'Sullivan scored 100 and 50+ to beat Trump 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals

In the early morning of February 9, Beijing time, Ronnie O'Sullivan defeated Judd Trump 6-3 in the first round of the 2022 Snooker Players Championship and will compete with Neil Robertson for a semi-final spot in the quarterfinals.

This was O'Sullivan's first professional win over Trump in a professional match since his 10-9 win in the semi-finals of the 2019 Tour Championship, and the record between the two sides was rewritten to Trump vs. O'Sullivan 13 wins and 12 losses. The Rockets and Thunder Of Australia met fiercely in the World Grand Prix final last December, when O'Sullivan won 10-8.

In the first round, O'Sullivan averaged 16.9 seconds of speed and scored 90, 83, 99, 62, 127 and 52 points per shot. Trump, who only shot 4 and 50+, is overwhelmed, and despite winning the "Championship of Champions" invitational title this season, he can only regret the first round this week.

O'Sullivan said after the game: "I'm just happy to be able to get through. It's a good game and no one wants to be out in the first round. I'm excited to be in this competition and now I'm going to play Against Neil Robertson in the next round in a light and easy match! ”

"There are still some mistakes in the game, I think this kind of thing always happens when you are older, there will be some lack of concentration that doesn't happen when you are young. I try to make up for it in other aspects of my technique, when these mind-wandering situations occur. ”

"The atmosphere of the event was very good and the audience was packed. They came to the scene to see some great scenes, so we also tried our best to play a good game for them. ”
