In the early morning of April 22, the Snooker World Championship ended a focus battle, and finally the No. 4 seed Judd Trump did not encounter any pressure, and took a 6-3 lead at halftime in the case of his mediocre performance, bursting 1003 shots and 50+ to sweep Iran's Hussein Wafi 10-4 on aggregate, who declared a crushing defeat on his Crucible debut. But despite a crushing defeat, Waffy still made its own history, the history of Iran's snooker, and Waffy's provisional world ranking rose to 17th as the top seed in qualifying, Rich Wharton, did not make it to the regular round.
This is the highest world ranking Waffy has ever reached in his career, according to the current situation, there are 3 chasers behind Stephen Maguire, Nopont Sankan and Jackson Page, Maguire needs to reach at least the semi-finals of the World Championship to surpass Wafi, Sancam and Page both have to at least reach the final to surpass Wafi, so Wafi's year-end world ranking will most likely be fixed at 17th, once so, this will be the closest to the top 16 in Iranian Snooker, if Wafi continues to perform well next season, Then he will start a whole new history that belongs to Iran's snooker.
As one of the few Asian celebrities, Wafi will represent Iranian snooker and have the opportunity to make Iranian snooker the third Asian country with players to score in the TOP16 after Thai snooker and China's snooker. But whether or not this history can be created in the hands of Wafi, he has become the hero of Iranian snooker, has constantly refreshed his career to new heights, as the first Iranian to appear in Crucible, coupled with the realization of the dream of ranking champion this season, Wafi's career has been a huge success. In the next 16 rounds, there are 3 Asian faces of Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and Sang kam, I hope that they will become more and more courageous in the vietnam war, create good results, come on!
