Robertson wins the first players' championship world championship and becomes a big hit Hawkins is running again

The Snooker Players Championship is over. Since Robertson's victory over O'Sullivan, fans have seen melbourne machines as the biggest favourite to win the tournament. Indeed, Robertson eliminated Jimmy, the dark horse of the tournament, in a not-so-exciting semi-final, and then defeated Hawkins in the final after the Masters a month ago.

In this season of combined strength, Robertson dominated with three titles. In particular, at the beginning of the year, the two weighty championships of the Masters and the Players Championship were won consecutively, and the good state of the Melbourne machine at the moment was obvious.

For Robertson, the most important task and goal of this season is to achieve a breakthrough at the World Championships. Robertson has had a dismal record at the World Championships since his first summit at Crucible in 2010, with only one final four, and in the past three editions, he has stopped in the quarter-finals with widespread optimism and form. Robertson has always said that he does not like the Space of Crucible and is not impressed with the long-term system of the World Championships. But since it can't be changed, Melbourne Machine can only change itself, he said to prepare a team and preparation plan for this year's world championship.

As far as this season is concerned, this year's World Championship is a perfect opportunity for Robertson to reach the top - the defending champion Selby, who is good at long-term innings, is in poor shape this season and is still struggling with psychological problems; Trump and Murphy are also in the slump; "75 Three Masters" are still in the top ranks, but they have their own troubles, robertson is not afraid of them; Zhao Xintong, Brecher, Yan Bingtao and other new forces lack experience in the World Championships, of which Zhao Xintong and Brecher have not yet won in Crucible.

As for Hawkins, the two runners-up at the beginning of the year once again consolidated his "escort king" and "background emperor" personality. Of course, from repeatedly stopping in the final four to winning the runner-up in a row, the veteran sees hope of hitting the championship again. At this year's World Championships, whether the "Crucible experts" who were once offline for three years can go further will become a big suspense.
