On May 2, 2022, the final of the Snooker World Championship ended the second stage of the game, and finally O'Sullivan continued to perform strongly, blasting 3 shots to break the 1007 50+ in two stages, leading Trump by a score of 12-5, almost ending the suspense of the game, and the seventh world championship title seemed to be within reach. For Trump, it is indeed difficult to fall behind 7 innings in two stages, so in the history of the World Championship finals, can the 7 innings still be reversed? Let Snooker star Dennis Taylor tell you the answer.
In the final of the 1985 World Championships, the two sides were Northern Ireland star Dennis Taylor and the old ball king Steve Davis, when the two were still young, facing Davis, who had won three World Championships at that time, Taylor started with a huge score of 0-8, 1-9, but then the game trend suddenly changed, Taylor won 7 consecutive sets, chasing the score to 8-9! But the overall score has not been reversed, only 11-11, 15-15 two draws, until 15-17 behind, and finally with the classic black ball in the decider, to complete the 18-17 kill reversal.
Therefore, this time Trump is not unable to reverse the 7 sets behind, although the opponent is the powerful O'Sullivan, but taylor was also facing Davis at the peak, from the 1981-1989 Snooker World Championships, only the three champions in 1982, 1985 and 1986 fell alex Higgins, Dennis Taylor and Joe Johnson, and the remaining championships were all won by Davis. But objectively speaking, according to the performance of the two in the first two stages, if each continues this state, then Trump cannot be overturned, and only when Trump himself plays the peak state, and O'Sullivan fluctuates at a certain point in emotion or feel, it is possible to achieve a reversal.
In addition, in addition to the classic case of Taylor and Davis, there are two practical cases in the history of the World Championship final that are 6 sets behind, hendry won 10 consecutive sets to reverse Jimmy White in the 1992 final when he was 8-14 behind; Williams reversed Stevens 18-16 when he was 7-13 behind; and Selby reversed Higgins 18-15 in the 2017 final after falling behind 4-10. These are all templates that Trump can refer to, whether Trump can still launch a counterattack, or O'Sullivan will equal the record of seven crowns as he wishes, let's wait and see.
