At the 2022 World Snooker Championships, Trump eliminated McGill to reach the quarter-finals: "This is one of the best quality games I've played here, and the quality of both tables is very good. Anthony (McGill) has always won the game with a single shot. I think the one that won the title, even the first time in the final, was not quite like today, and it was definitely the best game of the year for Crucible. ”
Obviously, Trump is happy with his return! In the previous two seasons, Trump won 11 titles and became the year-end No. 1 for two consecutive years, and now Trump is expected to become the final season-end world number one for the third consecutive year, thus becoming the fifth player in snooker history to achieve this achievement. Neil Robertson and Selby have both missed the Round of 8, and Trump can reach the final to secure the world number one at the end of the season.
To be honest, Trump's performance this season is not as strong as the previous two seasons, and it was not until the Turkish Masters before the World Championships that Trump finally won the first ranking championship of the season, but because the Turkish Masters lineup is not strong, Trump's championship is still considered to be insufficient gold. Coming to the World Championships, Trump's performance in the first round was still unsatisfactory, the offensive end was still weak, and against qualifier Wafi, Trump did not show any dominance.
In this way, without being optimistic about the outside world, Trump ushered in the challenge of the first TOP16 player McGill. At the beginning of the game, Trump was still sluggish, trailing 1-3. In the first eight innings, 4-4 draw, Trump bit the score. In the second phase of the game, Trump began to build up the advantage, playing McGill in a wave of 6-2, 10-6 to establish the advantage. In the third stage, McGill chased fiercely, winning consecutive one-shots, and Trump withstood the pressure to cash in on the match point 13-11. It seems that Trump still did not play a dominant game, but the low-key Trump reached the quarterfinals.
In stark contrast to Trump is Neil Robertson. As the No.1 in a single season, Neil Robertson has been the number one favorite to win the World Championship since the beginning of the tournament, but the high-profile Neil Robertson stopped in the round of 16 and lost to Lissovsky. In addition, the defending champion Selby was also eliminated by Yan Bingtao in the quarter-finals. As a result, Trump became a big winner, Selby and Neil Robertson both stopped in the round of 16, and Trump reached the final of the World Championship to ensure that he became the final world number one for three consecutive years.
Not optimistic, the low-key Trump may stage a script of playing a pig and eating a tiger at this World Championship. Now, Trump has become the common enemy of O'Sullivan + Higgins + Yan Bingtao! In the year-end world number one battle, O'Sullivan + Higgins became the final world number one condition, and Trump could not reach the final.
In the first half of the district, once Yan Bingtao advances to the top 4, then Trump will also become the strongest opponent of Yan Bingtao to impact the final, past hand records, Yan Bingtao's career 6 times to face Trump all defeated, is definitely a nemesis!!
