On April 4, Beijing time, snooker was born a super reversal that was enough to go down in history. In the final of the Snooker Tour Championship, Wizard Higgins took the lead in a 10-win format in 19 innings and took the lead in taking as many as six match points 9-4. As a result, the magical Neil Robertson created a reversal, he won 6 consecutive sets, and finally defeated Higgins 10-9 and won the championship! It was a magical game, no doubt, but for Higgins, it would be a humiliating memory.
The first 13 innings of the game were entirely under Higgins' control. After the opening, he blasted two consecutive single-shot 126 points to take a 3-0 lead. After scoring 84 points in the 13th inning, Higgins had taken a 9-4 lead to match points. In these 13 innings, Higgins scored 3 shots to break the hundred, 3 shots 60+, and the state was hot.
But I didn't expect history to be born quietly. In the six innings that followed, Robertson exploded, shooting 54, 108, 72, 93 and 72 consecutive singles, shooting 5 50+ in 6 innings to win 6 innings and crush Higgins in one fell swoop. Such a crazy performance completely blinded Higgins. In the decider, Higgins also made a huge mistake and finally gave up the championship. Higgins sat in a chair and fell silent, he couldn't believe what he saw, but unfortunately, the fifth runner-up of the season, let Higgins fall again at the last minute.
In addition, after the end of this tour championship, the 46-year-old O'Sullivan officially returned to the world number one. His prize money was £1.036 million, and he also made history as the oldest world number one in 40 years. In the TOP16, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao were shortlisted. Before the World Championships, the two were able to rely on rankings to directly qualify for the main tournament.
With the end of the last event before the World Championships, the seeding table for the World Championships has also been released. Zone 1/4 is Selby vs. Yan Bingtao, Marvel vs. Hawkins; Zone 2/4 is Robertson vs McGill and Karen Wilson vs. Bingham; Zone 3/4 is Trump vs. Lisovsky and Higgins vs. Brechel; Zone 4/4 is O'Sullivan vs. Allen and Zhao Xintong vs. Murphy.
