O'Sullivan's victory has also made many domestic netizens happy, after all, this friendly and friendly "rocket" has an indissoluble relationship with China's snooker, and has greatly helped young players such as Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, and has won unanimous praise from the Chinese people. Interestingly, before the World Championships, O'Sullivan said in an interview that his 6-time World Championship champion has become a thing of the past, and he has thought about winning the 7th crown, but the difficulty is self-evident, and he also figuratively compares himself to Federer in today's tennis world.
Unexpectedly, the 46-year-old legendary veteran was out of control after advancing to the final four, beating Higgins and Trump in succession, turning the luxury of the seventh crown into reality. Trump and Selby are second and third respectively in the world rankings, and the fight between the two will continue.

Fortunately, the British champion said that after the defeat, he will be more motivated, and he will continue to work hard to create history again. Another Chinese player, Yan Bingtao, came to 15th in the world rankings, and in this competition, Yan Bingtao was the farthest chinese player. He had the opportunity to reach the final four for the first time in his career, but he made mistakes at key moments and let himself lose a good game. Veteran Ding Junhui ranked 32nd, the Chinese snooker hero has been heroic and late, it is difficult to bring surprises to everyone.
