The 2021-2022 Snooker Welsh Open ended the semi-finals, with four players in the final four playing against each other, and both semi-finals were played until the decider, and Trump, the 4th seed and world number three, staged a big comeback against Iran's Hussein Wafi, who was 3:5 behind, and won three consecutive sets with a total score of 6:5 to advance to the final, and he was only one step away from the 23rd ranking championship of his career. Trump's final opponent is the "dark horse" Joe Perry, who is nearly half a hundred years old, Joe Perry refused to be reversed in the match with the "post-90s" star Lisovsky, he was equalized by Lisowski when he led 5:3, and the tiebreaker veteran Joe Perry withstood the pressure to "kill" Lissovsky, reaching the ranking final again after four years, and he will attack the second ranking championship of his career.
In the recent year, the momentum of winning the championship has dropped significantly, and Trump and Hussein Wafi have competed for the right to the final, this season Trump has not yet won the ranking championship, and many of the champions of the Welsh Open have been out, Trump has ushered in the best chance to win the championship, but this game Trump won quite difficult. In the first game, Hussein Waffy scored a 95-point clean sheet and took the lead in the next city, and in the second game, Trump did not want to show weakness and scored 70 points to equalize, followed by two sets of Hussein Waffy took full advantage, shooting 85 points in a single shot and winning two consecutive sets to lead 3:1. Trump stabilized his position and launched a counterattack, he won two consecutive sets and then equalized strongly, the seventh game was very fierce, Hussein Wafi seized the opportunity to win 79:53, and in the eighth game Wafi continued to win another set, and the big score was 5:3 to win the match point. With no way back, Trump scored 66 points in the ninth inning and then scored a close-up score, and in the tenth set, Trump scored 121 points on a single stroke and equalized again, and in the decider Trump "killed" the opponent 71:29, defeating Hussein Wafi on aggregate 6:5 to advance to the Welsh Open final.
Another match in the semi-finals was played between Joe Perry and Lissovsky, the 48-year-old Joe Perry was in good shape this time, a real "dark horse", he defeated Cao Yupeng in the first round of the game, and then in the next two rounds, he cut down the seeded players Mark Allen and Karen Wilson, and eliminated Rich Walton in the last round of the game to advance to the final four. At the beginning of the semi-final match against Lissovsky, Joe Perry took the initiative on the field, and although he did not score a high single score, Joe Perry still won three consecutive sets to lead 3-0. Trailing Lisovsky pulled back a city 66-14 in the fourth set, and in the fifth he scored another 64 points and kept a clean sheet to close the score to 2:3. In the sixth inning, Joe Perry scored 68 points and then extended the score again, in the seventh game Lisowski scored 69 points and then clenched the score, and in the eighth game Joe Perry scored multiple times to win 80:22, and won the match point 5:3 on aggregate.
Lisowski then opened fire in two sets, he shot 71 points, 123 points and then won two consecutive sets, and chased the score to a 5:5 draw, the game entered the decider, the decider Joe Perry refused to be reversed, he attacked several times and then "killed" the opponent 81:7, the total score of 6:5 to win Sowski, after four years to reach the final of the snooker ranking tournament again. The last time Joe Perry reached the final was at the European Open four years ago, Joe Perry's career is not brilliant, although he has reached the ranking final many times, but in the past 30 years of his career, he has only won the ranking tournament once in 2015, which is indeed a bit incredible, to know that his world ranking has been high in seventh place. After reaching the welsh Open final, Joe Perry will launch a blow to the second ranking championship of his career, this season's snooker ranking tournament has a number of mediocre players to win the championship, this is a chance for Joe Perry, the final opponent Trump in the last year is significantly less in form than the previous two years, Joe Perry as long as he can play the state of the previous few games, he is entirely likely to "black to the end" and win the ranking tournament championship again.
