On 16 April 2022, the Snooker World Championship kicked off in Crucible, with defending champion Selby kicking off the opening round against Jamie. Jones, China's famous Zhao Xintong, debuted in the first round against Jamie. Clark, whether the two can qualify is expected by fans, especially Selby, his performance this season is not ideal, many people are not optimistic about Selby, predicting that he will be out early.
32 players in the main tournament, the most won the World Championship is O'Sullivan, he is the six world championship champions, second only to Hendry, O'Sullivan's recent results are still relatively stable, the only worrying thing is that his age is there, it is difficult to concentrate on the long game system, the stability is not very good, this year's European Masters O'Sullivan lost 9-10 to Fan Zhengyi to get the runner-up.
For O'Sullivan's case, post-90s player Hussein. Wafi questioned that he believed that O'Sullivan had not made his due contribution to the promotion of snooker, so it would be better to continue to retire from the army, just this year Hussein. Wafi's first career title in a single-time limited time event while making his debut at Crucible led to more attention.
Face Hussein. Wafi's questioning, O'Sullivan responded to this matter in an interview, he said that no matter what everyone talks about, he will not care too much, continue to enjoy the fun of the game, of course, despite this, O'Sullivan still hopes to achieve good results at the World Championships, get more championships, break Hendry's record, and once again win Crucible.
World number one Selby expressed his support, although the two had some unpleasant appearances at the World Championships, but in Selby's view, O'Sullivan is a legendary player in snooker, he is remarkable, has made a lot of contributions to the sport, attracted the attention of fans, these are obvious things, Selby is the only player to beat O'Sullivan and win a set of Grand Slam titles.
Sean. Murphy stressed that without O'Sullivan, the snooker movement would have had a hard time getting the attention it has now, Sean. Murphy once created the miracle of a dark horse to win the championship, losing to Selby at last year's World Championship to finish runner-up, Mark. Williams, Mark. Allen agreed, believing that as long as O'Sullivan retired, the popularity of snooker would drop sharply, and even some fans would not pay attention to it from then on.
But there are also young players who support Hussein. Wafi, from Lucca, Belgium. Brechel objected, pointing out that Hussein. There is no problem with Waffy's statement, he did the right thing, O'Sullivan also has to accept criticism from everyone, tonight O'Sullivan made his debut, the opponent is Gilbert, rather than the off-court war of words, focusing on the game is the most important thing.
