As the World Snooker Championship approaches, the snooker stars are eager to try, eager to rush to the championship, and O'Sullivan, who is the central figure of the snooker topic, is not willing to become a popular candidate for the championship, after 30 consecutive years of snooker, there are fewer and fewer players who need O'Sullivan to surpass, making him almost "invincible", only Hendry is still in O'Sullivan's list to be surpassed, but now, hendry's historical record has been difficult to maintain his position.
As the king of Crucible, Stephen Hendry is a legendary player, he stood on the table for 27 years before retiring, won a total of 70 Crucible matches, the most important world championship, Hendry has won five consecutive championships, and then topped the world championship seven times, becoming the "first man" of snooker loved by fans, known as the "Emperor of Billiards".
The glory of the predecessors is surpassed by the younger generations, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, O'Sullivan has become a person who constantly impacts Hendry, as the king of snooker, Hendry has created a record of 36 unbeaten games, this grand event makes many fans think that it is difficult to have a latecomer, did not expect that just one year later, O'Sullivan with 38 consecutive wins to achieve transcendence, since then Hendry and O'Sullivan began a fateful competitive journey.
Subsequently, Hendry's proudest three major 18 crowns were once again broken by O'Sullivan, Hendry can keep the record less and less, until now only the world championship 7 crowns of the most noteworthy, and O'Sullivan, who has won the sixth world championship in 20 years, began a new round of impact, he set off towards the 7 crowns of Hendry, once again set off a frenzy.
In reality, O'Sullivan has overtaken Hendry in many ways, such as the number of World Championships breaking 100, the number of British Championship champions and the number of ranking champions, etc., and after this year, whether Hendry can maintain the lead again becomes a suspense, and there is little left of the record advantage.
On April 16, 2022, the Snooker World Championship is approaching, O'Sullivan will be a seventh crown in his career, and according to the current O'Sullivan hot situation, he has shown good standards and is likely to break the record again and break more historical results of Hendry.
O'Sullivan's current Crucible win record (69 games) is only one less than Hendry, the number of world championship champions is only one, I am afraid that only the world number one occupation time O'Sullivan has not yet caught up with Hendry (Rockets 6 years Hendry 9 years), but according to O'Sullivan's fiery hand, he is close to the world number one, it is likely to continue the world first time again, Hendry's history is getting more and more difficult to keep.
