The 2022 Snooker Players Championship has come to an end, with "Melbourne Machine" Neil Robertson beating Barry Hawkins with impeccable performance to win the 22nd ranking championship of his career.
The big win in the Players Championship not only allowed Robertson to "double kill" Barry Hawkins in this season's final, but also allowed him to earn a high bonus point of up to 125,000 pounds, although it still ranked fourth without improving, but it has opened up the gap with the subsequent players.
Robertson is without a doubt one of the best snooker players of the season, and as the 80-big three Selby and Trump are in decline, he has set many all-time records with a super-stable performance in two months.
Robertson's ranking titles rose to 22, tying Trump to sixth place in the all-time list, the highest achievement among non-British snooker players, and completely widening the gap with other post-80s players.
Robertson, who has just spent his 40th birthday, is undoubtedly experiencing his best season, at the beginning of this season, Robertson and his girlfriend Mira, who has been in love for more than ten years, officially married and entered the marriage hall, and the arena is also full of spirits.
Robertson said in a post-match interview: "I am really proud of myself, I have won 22 ranking championships and 2 masters and 2 crowns, which were unimaginable achievements before.
As a non-British player, it is incredible that I won the championship in the current era of 75 Sanjie, Selby, Trump, Murphy and Chinese players Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and many other top players, and I am glad that I did it.
As Robertson said, as a non-British snooker player, he himself has been under different pressure from local players, and the booing and cheering of the audience is common for Robertson, but Robertson has turned the audience again and again through his wonderful performances.
After winning 22 ranking championships, Robertson has actually opened the gap between him and Trump, although the number of championships is the same as the number of titles in the two major competitions, but the number of championships and championships in the three major competitions is far beyond Trump, and Robertson is also rare to give advice when it comes to Trump's poor performance this season.
Robertson said: "Judd (Trump) is different from me, he is not yet a family and he is much younger than me, which gives him time to participate in more competitions, but in my opinion, blindly registering for any event is not a good thing, but it will backfire and pay a corresponding price."
I will choose some major events to register for, partly because I don't want to fill the competition with life, on the other hand, I think that only targeted training will achieve good results as long as I sign up, which is one of the reasons why I can win the championship.
It can be seen that Robertson's targeted participation has indeed received good results, and I hope that Trump can learn this way of participating, after all, it is futile to participate in more events and achieve good results.
