On the World Snooker Tour, "The Wizard" John Higgins is definitely one of the top players in history. At the same time, he has also performed many miracles in the competition, including the great feat of the top sixteen in the world for 29 consecutive years. In front of such a player, even O'Sullivan can hardly say that he has won. And this also makes Higgins a nemesis and a curse for some players, and China's famous Liang Wenbo is one of Higgins' many background emperors. Moreover, Liang Wenbo has not yet won any victory on Higgins. Objectively speaking, today's Higgins is still Liang Wenbo's most difficult spell and nemesis. After all, Liang Wenbo still did not have enough ability to fight against Higgins.
Higgins' ten-game winning streak over Liang Wenbo is definitely a miracle
Since the first meeting in the 2008 Northern Ireland Cup, Liang Wenbo and Higgins have had 10 encounters, but Liang Wenbo has not won a single victory so far. Higgins has won 1 time in the race to grab 3, 3 times in the 4 game, 3 times in the 5 game, 1 time in the 6 game, 1 time in the 9 game, and 1 time in the grab 10 game. These formats have basically covered all the formats of short-to-medium round games, which also means that Liang Wenbo really does not have the ability to compete with Higgins. Although there is a gap between Liang Wenbo's ability and the top golfers, even O'Sullivan has not been able to win 10 consecutive victories on Liang Wenbo. In fact, this is also a miracle existence for the world stage, after all, the record of 10 wins and 10 wins is indeed a difficult thing to do.
Higgins' style of play can limit Liang Wenbo's play
As long as it is a veteran fan of snooker, many people know that Higgins is the most all-round player, whether it is offense, defense, possession, tactics, control or patience, psychological quality, Higgins can achieve the top level. But Liang Wenbo is not such a player, in fact, Liang Wenbo is a player who relies heavily on alignance, and once he is choked by the opponent, his game will become very difficult. As it happens, Higgins happens to be a master of tactics and control. His offensive and defensive abilities are all top-level, coupled with his super tactical and ball control capabilities, he can completely limit Liang Wenbo's play in the game. You know, Higgins is not a player like O'Sullivan, he prefers to get a chance to win the game through offensive and defensive conversions. But Liang Wenbo's defense is his shortcoming, so it is difficult for him to beat Higgins in the game. Therefore, it is not unusual for him to lose all 10 times between the two sides.
Higgins is still Liang Wenbo's hardest person to beat
When people talk about snooker's nemesis, many people always mention O'Sullivan. But for Liang Wenbo, Higgins is more like a nemesis than O'Sullivan, after all, Liang Wenbo has not yet defeated Higgins. Psychologically, Liang Wenbo will not have any psychological advantage, even if he gains the lead in the game, he may not be able to keep his victory. One of the main reasons is that his psychology is prone to fluctuations. Objectively speaking, the importance of psychological quality sometimes exceeds the importance of personal technical level, because poor psychological quality may cause players to shake their hands or even deform the pole, so that they are gradually limited by opponents in the game. As one of the most consistent players in the field of snooker, Higgins' competitive form has always been very good. Liang Wenbo's competitive state is very unstable, he sometimes plays very well, and sometimes he plays very badly. Therefore, he had no advantage against Higgins, after all, the gap between the two was too big.
