On May 1, 2022, all the times of the semi-finals of the Snooker World Championships ended, and the no. 4 seed Judd Trump, after a hard battle, struggled to defeat three-time World Champion Mark Williams 17-16, and world Number One Ronnie O'Sullivan easily defeated his old rival John Higgins 17-11. The two successfully met in the final, and the two sides will meet for the 30th time, the second World Championship meeting, and the 10th final meeting. In terms of total hand-to-hand records, Trump won 15 wins and 14 losses, in the World Championships, O'Sullivan won the only semi-final meeting, in the final Trump 6 wins and 3 losses, the main points of this World Championship final are as follows.
First, whether O'Sullivan can draw the record for seven crowns.
O'Sullivan is now almost considered "the best ever", but there is still one hardcore record in front of the "best of all time" that has not been broken: Hendry's seven-crown record at the World Championships. After reaching the record of six crowns in 2020, this is the closest to seven crowns, and as the age increases and the level of competition declines, there may not be such a good opportunity in the future. According to the state of the first four rounds, O'Sullivan's final opponent Trump's state of affairs at various stages fluctuated greatly, but still had the ability to kill the game at key moments, from the state point of view, O'Sullivan is obviously better, the opportunity is very good, but Trump will play a crazy performance against O'Sullivan every time in the final.
Second, Trump can break through the "weak" question.
Although Trump's performance in recent years has been strong, its prestige has not increased much with the increase in the number of ranking champions, because The weak performance of Xiaote in the "three major competitions" has always been a huge slot point, and the weakness of the "three major competitions" has not matched its dominance very poorly. This World Championship Trump is not in the best condition, but still reached the final, which is a sign of its maturity, the final against O'Sullivan is always a double-edged sword, if O'Sullivan always maintains his own rhythm of the game, then the game will become very difficult, once O'Sullivan emotionally relaxed, then the game will become very relaxed, if Trump wins this time, then the two World Championship champions will completely break the doubt.
Third, a new record in the Snooker offensive era.
Trump is currently shooting an 8-stroke 100 at this World Championship, O'Sullivan has scored a 12-shot 100, Williams has tied Hendry's 16-stroke Crucible 100-100 record, and then Ter and O have the opportunity to break the record further in the final. In addition, O'Sullivan's total number of 100 in Crucible has now reached 196, and is expected to achieve the 200th achievement in this World Championship, further consolidating the all-time first place in history; Crucible's single 100 record is last year's 108, and all players have contributed a total of 103 to break 100, Trump and O'Sullivan are expected to work together in the final to break this record and open a new chapter in the era of snooker's attack.
