On May 2, Beijing time, the first two stages of the final of the Snooker World Championship ended the competition. O'Sullivan led 12-5, just six sets away from Crucible's seventh title. After the end of the 17-game match, the relevant institutions also updated the latest odds to win the championship. The numbers are already completely one-sided, with O'Sullivan at 1:1.025 and Trump at 1:17.
The implication of this set of data is only one point, the relevant agencies have decided that O'Sullivan's victory will be no suspense, and Trump's victory is already difficult to win. Before the start of the match, although there was a gap in the odds between the two sides, it was far from such a crazy data performance. It was O'Sullivan 1:1.66 and Petit 1:2.2. After 17 innings, O'Sullivan, who had the lead in 7 innings, overwhelmed Trump.
Judging from his performances in the first 17 innings, O'Sullivan does deserve to be the World Championship this season. He continued his previous seriousness and caution in the final, even resetting a red ball that was not crucial, and arguing with the referee for a long time. Faced with not too good opportunities, O'Sullivan in the past may have chosen to attack strongly, but now he will think more about defense. Of course, in the face of opportunities, O'Sullivan is not soft.
In 17 innings, O'Sullivan has scored 3 breakers and 7 par 50+, while In contrast, Trump has only shot 5 shots of 50+ and not broken hundreds, and the difference in status between the two sides is clear at a glance. In the next two stages, O'Sullivan will also hit a record, that is, the single shot of the World Championship is a hundred, which was previously maintained by Hendry and Mark Williams, and O'Sullivan has already shot 15, which is very promising to break the record. In addition, there is crucible's record of the oldest 46-year championship victory, and there is also hope to belong to O'Sullivan.
For Trump, all he has to do now is get rid of the baggage and go light. In the semi-finals, his opponent Mark Williams, who was 5-12 behind, also once overtook 16-15 and almost reversed to win. If the reversal can be completed, it will be the craziest earth-shattering reversal in the history of the World Championships.
