On May 2, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship entered the closing day, and O'Sullivan, who is currently leading 12-5, will launch an attack on the seventh crown of the World Championship, and many celebrities said that if O'Sullivan wins this title, it can calm the debate about who is the best in history. CCTV will broadcast the contest of the closing day live, witnessing O'Sullivan's impact on the first place in history.
In recent years, O'Sullivan has continued to create new records, such as the total number of championships in the ranking competition, the total number of champions in the three major competitions, and the total number of single shots to break the hundred, all of which belong to him, that is, he compares himself with himself. In addition, O'Sullivan also stole a lot of records from Hendry, but O'Sullivan did not care about these data and records, and his goal in the World Championships was clear, either to win the championship or get out early.
At this World Championship, O'Sullivan's attitude towards the competition is particularly serious, which shows that he is eager for the championship, as long as he wins this championship, O'Sullivan can catch up with Hendry and become the first in history in the true sense. In fact, Mark Williams, Higgins and others have said that even if O'Sullivan does not have a seventh World Championship title, he is the best in history, but with this title, the controversy can be calmed.
Facing Trump, O'Sullivan led 5-3 in the first stage, and he had an argument with the referee in the 8th set, and was particularly angry, saying bluntly after the game that the referee had nothing to do. Although his mood was affected, O'Sullivan's form and feel were still outstanding, and in the second stage, he once again staged a good play of winning five consecutive sets, suddenly opening the score and leading 12-5 to bring O'Sullivan close to the championship.
Compared with the presence state, O'Sullivan is indeed superior to Trump, the data is the most telling, O'Sullivan has shot 3 shots to break the hundred, 7 pars 50+, while Trump only 5 strokes 50+, O'Sullivan's ability to win with one shot is indeed too strong. According to the schedule, the third stage will be played in 8 sets, O'Sullivan only needs a 6-2 to end the suspense of the game early, with O'Sullivan's current state, it is entirely possible to end the game in the third stage.
The third stage of the match will start at 20:00 on May 2, CCTV live broadcast the match, witnessing O'Sullivan's impact on the seventh world championship title, which should be the first difficult record in history, O'Sullivan is getting closer and closer to this record. As Higgins, Mark Williams and others have said, once O'Sullivan is successfully crowned, the discussion about who is the best in history can be stopped, in fact, Hendry has long expressed his point of view: O'Sullivan has raised the snooker movement to a new height, although it is not directly said, in Hendry's mind, O'Sullivan may have become the best in history!
