On May 1, 2022, the final matchup of the Snooker World Championship was released, and the final world first Ronnie O'Sullivan and the 2019 World Championship champion Judd Trump defeated John Higgins and Mark Williams respectively to successfully meet in the final. This is O'Sullivan's 8th final, the first seven six times to win the championship, the only loss was in 2014 to Selby, the latter was the first time to win the World Championship, this is also Trump's third time to reach the World Championship final, the first two wins and one loss against Higgins, this time facing O'Sullivan, whether it is Tert Jr. breaking through the barrier of the "three major competitions", or O'Sullivan equalizing the seven-crown record.
Judging from the record of the meeting, the two sides have previously had 28 major meeting records, and the two have won 14 wins to tie the autumn, but from the details, O'Sullivan defeated Trump 17-11 in the semi-finals of the 2013 World Championships to win the only matchup between the two in the World Championships so far, but at that time Trump's playing style was not yet mature, and Trump had met O'Sullivan 9 times in the major finals, achieving a final record of 6 wins and 3 losses. First, he lost the first two finals of the 2014 Crown and The British Championship, followed by the first defeat of O'Sullivan in the final at the 2015 World Grand Prix.
Defeating O'Sullivan in the 2016 European Masters final, losing the 2017 Shanghai Masters final, then winning the 2019 Masters, and the 2018-2020 9-7 Northern Ireland Open final, in which Trump always seemed to be able to play a crazy state against O'Sullivan in the final. In another statistic, O'Sullivan's ranking final win rate is 63.33%, and Trump's ranking final win rate is 65.71%, which is slightly higher than O'Sullivan. Therefore, from the data point of view, trump's winning side of this final seems to be greater.
But from the point of view of timely status, O'Sullivan World Championship has blasted out 12 strokes to break the hundred, Trump only handed over 8 strokes to break the hundred offensive data, and from the first four rounds of matches, O'Sullivan's state at each stage is relatively stable, Trump's state at each stage is relatively volatile, can play a crazy performance of winning 8 consecutive sets, can also lose 5 consecutive games against Bingham, lose 5 consecutive games against Williams, although they all won the game in the end, but they are very difficult. Therefore, if the two continue this performance, then the championship is undoubtedly more inclined to O'Sullivan.
