The 2021-2022 Snooker World Championships continues to compete for the semi-finals, after the end of the first two matchdays of the semi-finals, world champion Mark Williams with the brave performance of the third stage of the game, he chased from 5:11 to 11:3, is currently only two sets behind the champion Trump, the two will start the final nine sets of the fourth stage of the game on this matchday, "who is the hand of the deer" is still difficult to say. In a civil war between the "75 three masters", the biggest champion favorite, the top seed O'Sullivan, with his outstanding performance in the last five sets of the second stage of the game, he is currently leading the "wizard" Higgins 10:6 to take the initiative to advance. In the next two stages of the game, as long as O'Sullivan does not lose too much to Higgins, he has the opportunity to reach the final of the World Championship again after two years, and for Higgins, in order to win the championship again at the World Championships, the next match with O'Sullivan must catch up and achieve a reversal in the two stages, otherwise he will bid farewell to the World Championships in advance.
O'Sullivan's match with Higgins is particularly eye-catching, which is considered to be an early final, the two have won a total of 10 World Championships, O'Sullivan six times, Higgins four times, this time both have the hope of winning the World Championship again. Higgins has reached the final six times this season and is in fairly stable form. O'Sullivan is not bad, after reaching the ranking final several times to win the 38th ranking championship of his career, after coming to the World Championships, O'Sullivan's state is even hotter, the first three rounds of matches are easy to defeat the opponent to advance, Higgins is not as good as O'Sullivan, but his ability to control the game is still excellent, steady and steady to win three consecutive games to reach the final four. The two were tied in the first stage of the semifinals to a 4:4 draw, the second stage of the game O'Sullivan won the first set, Higgins won two consecutive sets 6:5 to win the score, the trailing O'Sullivan then fully controlled the game, he won five consecutive sets after leading the "sworn enemy" Higgins to end the second stage of the match.
At the beginning of the third stage of the game, Higgins took the lead, he seized O'Sullivan's offensive error to take the lead and scored 30 points, then he took a 57:1 lead and completed the super point, the unwilling O'Sullivan then tried to do snooker to reverse the game, Higgins firmly grasped the opportunity to win the first set 66:30, chasing the score to 7:10. In the tenth inning, Higgins went awry with a 32-pointer on the lead and then the mother ball went awry and he had to defend, with O'Sullivan hitting two attacks and shooting a single 82 to win 104-32. In the 11th inning, O'Sullivan lost a good game when he was leading, Higgins attacked three times and played a single 56 point before reversing the victory at 84:37, the big score chased to 8:11, in the 12th game, O'Sullivan did not give Higgins any chance, after using the attack from the far platform to get the offensive right, O'Sullivan single shot 101 points and won, leading Higgins four sets 12:8.
After a short break, both were in very good shape, in the 13th game Higgins took advantage of the opponent's far-range attack to leave a chance to successfully start, single shot 103 points after a clean sheet to chase the opponent back a set, in the 14th game Higgins scored 16 points after a mistake, O'Sullivan single shot 121 points after winning, the big score 13:9 lead Higgins. In the 15th game, O'Sullivan took the lead in scoring 50 points and stopped attacking, Higgins scored 26 points and did not continue to score, after a defensive battle O'Sullivan got on the mobile phone again, single shot 55 points after winning 105:26, the big score was extended to 14:9, further from the final, the 24th game, the more courageous O'Sullivan did not give Higgins too many opportunities, a single shot burst out of the hundred and then won another set, the big score of 15:9 lead Higgins ended the third stage of the game.
In the case of only the last stage of the semi-finals, the backward Higgins to reverse the promotion is very difficult, although there are many classic big reversal games in the history of snooker, but the current state is not in the best Higgins to reverse the hot state of the number one champion favorite O'Sullivan, it is unrealistic at present, as long as the fourth stage of the game does not have accidents, it can be said that the probability of O'Sullivan advancing to the final has exceeded 80%, four-time World Championship champion Higgins is already "life hanging on the line", If you want to continue to attack the world championship, I am afraid that the only way to fight again in the next year.
