On May 3, 2022, the Snooker World Championship came to a successful end, and finally O'Sullivan easily defeated Trump 18-13 to win the 39th ranking championship of his career, equaling Hendry's record of seven world championships, and raising the total number of "three majors" to 21, achieving a full seven laps of "Grand Slam" events, ranking first in history. At the 2022 World Championships, O'Sullivan equalized or broke a number of historical records, reaching the top of the year-end world for the seventh time in his career, wishing the Rocket o'Sullivan a veritable best in history.
This year is O'Sullivan's 30th year of professionalization, as a 46-year-old veteran, it is very difficult to be able to race the field for 30 years and always maintain a strong competitiveness, so O'Sullivan especially cherishes every year's World Championships and hopes to create more records in a limited career. Therefore, we can see that in the final, O'Sullivan was particularly serious and rigorous, after facing pressure in the third stage, the fourth stage adjusted in time, and finally suppressed Trump's counterattack, successfully defeated the opponent to win the championship, and after winning the victory, O'Sullivan was also difficult to hide his inner excitement, and tears spilled on the spot, which is a rare scene in O'Sullivan's career for so many years.
After winning the championship, O'Sullivan's handsome son and beautiful daughter appeared at the same time to celebrate their father and share the joy of winning the championship. After O'Sullivan won the title, the total number of ranking titles rose to 39, with Hendry in second place with 36 and Higgins with 31 in third place. The total number of three majors is 21 (seven laps), with Hendry in second place having 18 (five laps) and Higgins and Selby both having nine (two laps). Next season, will O'Sullivan still have such a good state, I don't know how many more records will be refreshed, where is O'Sullivan's limit, let's wait and see.
