On February 16, 2022, Beijing time, the latest news, the world's fourth-ranked Neil Robertson said in an interview that the competition in the world taiwan arena is too fierce now. In the middle of 2000 to 2010, it was relatively easy to reach the top sixteen and four. But nowadays, many of the top players have become commonplace, and it turns out that today's competition is strengthening, although this does not mean that the level of competition has improved. In today's era, there are 753 masters in the world platform, 805 tigers, as well as the post-90s Tiantuan and Yan Bingtao after 00. Objectively speaking, these people all have the ability to beat each other. As long as they can play their competitive form in the game.
Robertson: The competition in taiwan today is fierce
Although many people complain that the level of competition in the world stage is declining today, this does not affect Robertson's belief that the competition in the stage has become fierce. Robertson said: "If you look further down at the rankings, there are people who can beat those top players when they play in form. In the period from 2000 to mid-2010, you will find it relatively easy to reach the round of 16 and reach the quarter-finals. But now, you can't even win the first round. In fact, the gap between the bottom and the top players is narrowing today. The odds of a low-ranking player beating the top players are high, and it's unlikely that the top players will be able to advance as easily as before. ”
Robertson: There are all kinds of players now
In Robertson's view, the reason why the competition is very fierce today is because there are now all kinds of players, and they all have the ability to beat the top players. Robertson said: "There are a lot of good snooker players in China, and it may be a budding Chinese star who beats you, and now there are more and more Chinese stars qualifying." In addition to the young strength, experienced legends such as Higgins, O'Sullivan and Mark Williams are equally outstanding, and I am in the middle of the year of Trump and Selby. In addition to us, there are players who are super eager to win, such as Hawkins, Bingham, Wilson and Lisowski, as well as the new generation of winners represented by Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao. Through this, you can see how well we have a reserve of players today. And they're just a representative of the multitude of players. ”
Robertson: Every game deserves to be appreciated
As the intensity of the competition was intensified, Robertson felt that every game was worth being admired because it was a microcosm of this Belle Époque. Robertson said: "Looking back at the Hendry era or the era of Steve Davis, we will find that their level of competition was not fierce, because Davis and Hendry were higher than in that era. Few people can come close to their level, so even as Hendry and Davis enter the 21st century, they still have the strength to compete for the title. Objectively speaking, their level and the level of their opponents are not equal, so there is a thriving picture. But today is completely different, the world's 100th player is completely likely to beat the world's top sixteen players, which is the biggest charm of today's era. In this day and age, the top players are not having a good time, but for the world of snooker, it is good news. Because there are a lot of impossibilities that can be created on the Tour, it makes people believe that everyone has a chance to win a championship. As long as you are willing to work hard and believe in yourself, you can create your own great achievements in the game. ”
