Rocket O'Sullivan lost 10-13 to his second brother Bingham
Rocket O'Sullivan is ranked No. 1 in the world, has won 23 major slam championships, as long as he can win the championship in this World Championships, he can not only maintain the ranking of No. 1 in the world, but also complete an unprecedented eight-lap three-major Grand Slam.
And with the exit of the biggest competitor Trump, the road to the championship of Rocket O'Sullivan has undoubtedly been paved, as long as it plays normally, it will not be much difficulty to win the championship.
However, the charm of competitive sports lies in the unpredictability of the outcome, and even if the powerful rocket O'Sullivan has a time when he stumbles.
In the first stage, Rocket O'Sullivan hit a single shot to break 100 (116 points), two shots of 50+ (70 points, 66 points), and drew 4-4 with Bingham.
In the second stage, Rocket O'Sullivan only scored two shots of 50+ (84 points, 79 points), while the opponent scored two shots to break 100, two shots of 50+, 8-8 draw, in fact, from the performance point of view, Bingham undoubtedly performed better, and Rocket O'Sullivan made various low-level mistakes, did not defend at all, and various reckless offensive options left Bingham with too many offensive opportunities. This is also the reason why Bingham scored two shots to break 100 and two shots of 50+.
In the third stage, although Rocket O'Sullivan broke 100 with a single stroke, 50+ with one stroke, and drew with Bingham 10-10, Bingham then scored 104 points in a single stroke, and won easily with three consecutive whips. 13-10 upset eliminated Rocket O'Sullivan.
Judging from the last three games, Rocket O'Sullivan's mentality is unbalanced, continuous simple mistakes, and a serious decline in accuracy, in the face of Bingham's excellent state, Rocket O'Sullivan did not pay enough attention to the attitude to deal with it, if he can show the attitude towards Ding Junhui, then he will definitely advance.
However, in the face of Bingham, the two have played each other 22 times in their careers, Rocket O'Sullivan has an absolute advantage of 18 wins and 4 losses, it may be that the historical record is too prominent, Rocket O'Sullivan has not paid enough attention to it from the beginning of the game, and all kinds of offensive choices that do not consider the consequences have caused a series of mistakes.
In the final analysis, Rocket O'Sullivan's loss is completely his own fault, his own various waves, the World Championship champion wave is gone, O'Sullivan, who has always looked at the bonus out of the state, faced the 500,000 pound grand prize this time, but he didn't expect to be so immature.
And the upset Rocket O'Sullivan will also be deducted 500,000 pounds of points for winning the 2022 World Championships, and he will also lose the world No. 1 position.
And Bingham, who won, defeated Rocket O'Sullivan in 2015 to win the World Championships, will Bingham continue to write history again this time?
