Seventy-five-three, the evergreen of snooker

author:Desert Island Tian

Seventy-five three-star refers to three snooker players, namely: John Higgins (nicknamed The Wizard), Ronnie O'Sullivan (nicknamed Rocket), Mark Williams (nicknamed Golden Left Hand). Because the three of them are all born in 1975, they have outstanding performances in the field of snooker, and they present a three-legged situation, which plays an indispensable role in promoting the development of snooker, so we call them seven-five-three masters. The British prefer to call them the '92 class, as all three of them entered the professional arena in '92.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is the pride of the sky, he belongs to snooker. With him, snooker has endless topics. Unique in history, neatly 7 sets of Grand Slams. 22 major championships, at the age of 48, he is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, 40 ranking tournaments in his career, 15 strokes with a full score of 147 strokes, 1230 strokes with a single stroke to break 100 and other data ranking first in the world, the greatest player in snooker history is none other than him! O'Sullivan has won a total of 78 professional tour titles in his career, which is still 4 short of Steve Davis's 82 championship record, but considering O'Sullivan's competitive state, it is not difficult to surpass Steve Davis to rank No. 1 in the world, because he is Ronnie O'Sullivan!!

Wizard John Higgins has put together 2 Grand Slam sets, and he is short of 3 sets in a Masters, but unfortunately he is older. I don't know if I can win the Masters again, maybe I will retire with this little regret. Higgins has won 31 ranking tournaments in his career, 147 perfect scores in 13 strokes, and 965 strokes to break 100 in a single stroke, ranking second in the world, second only to the Rockets. Higgins has won a total of 51 professional tour titles in his career, ranking third behind Steve Davis (82) and Ronnie O'Sullivan (78)! Although his professional record is not as good as that of the Rockets, Higgins has never fallen out of the top 16 in the world in the 31 years of his career, and he is as stable as an old dog! This is as strong as the Rockets and the old horses can only be ashamed of themselves!

Kim left-handed, Mark Williams, his achievements are slightly inferior to the Rockets and Wizards, a total of 26 ranking championships in his career, ranking behind O'Sullivan 40, Hendry 36, Higgins 31, Steve Davis 28, ranked fifth in the world, 3 strokes 147 perfect score for 14th in the world, 917 strokes for 100 in the world ranked 9th. But Lao Ma has a statistic that even the Rockets and Wizards can't match, that is, in the 2002-2003 season, he won three major championships in a single season, and won a season of Grand Slams (2002 British Championship, 2003 Masters and World Championships)!

Awesome my old horse!

It can be said that from 2000 to 2015, in the past 15 years, this brother dominated the professional arena. Everyone else can only get a little bit of the pie from them. Later, Mark Selby, one of the 80 Five Tigers, rose to prominence, won the World Championship four times, and was ranked No. 1 in the world for 7 consecutive years, but in 2022, Ronnie O'Sullivan won the seventh World Championship championship in his career, and the Rocket World Ranking returned to No. 1 in the world, while Mark Selby was in a sluggish state and could not return to the No. 1 in the world! Recently, Ronnie O'Sullivan defeated Ding Junhui 10-7 in the final and won the 8th British Championship! In 1993, at the age of 17, the rocket became the youngest player in the history of the British Championship and the youngest ranking champion in snooker history! Not only that, but he became the oldest champion of the World Championship in 2022 at the age of 46 years and 148 days, breaking the record of 45 years and 203 days. The older the rocket gets, the more demonic it becomes!

Since their debut, the "753 Heroes" have always perfectly combined their skills, style and personal personality, so that fans will never forget to dedicate several extremely classic game moments.

So, what is the record of the three of them? O'Sullivan and Higgins have played a total of 78 times, of which O'Sullivan has a slight upper hand with 40 wins, 35 losses and 3 draws. If you don't count the meetings in the Champions League, O'Sullivan is 36-33 and also maintains the advantage. But in the three major tournaments, Higgins has a slight lead over O'Sullivan with 6 wins and 5 losses. It is worth mentioning that the two have a record of 3 wins and 3 losses in the World Championships, which can be said to be evenly matched. The strength of the two is quite close, and they are both very experienced. Higgins is also one of the two closest to O'Sullivan so far, the other being Trump.

In fact, the relationship between O'Sullivan, Higgins and Mark Williams in life is not very close. As Higgins explains: "Yes, people think that O'Sullivan and I must have a 'comfortable friendship', but in fact I don't know O'Sullivan, even though I have known him for more than 30 years, and when everyone wants to know O'Sullivan's true character through me, I can only tell them the above answers."

But Higgins and Mark Williams had a good relationship. Higgins and Mark Williams signed with the same club before and after turning professional in 1992, and since then, they have improved and developed a strong friendship with each other.
