At 9:00 p.m. Beijing time on November 7, 2021 and 3:00 a.m. on November 8, 2021, the final of the World Snooker England Open will begin a two-stage competition, and "Melbourne Machine" Neil Robertson will face "The Witcher" John Higgins to start the championship battle. If Robertson can succeed in coronation, he will set his ranking titles to 21. If Higgins can complete the title, he will have refreshed his ranking titles to 32. For both players. This championship trophy is also very important. It is worth mentioning that Robertson is more likely to win the championship than Higgins.
Robertson has the hope of winning the ranking tournament again
Judging from the comprehensive performance of this tournament, Robertson is undoubtedly a very strong presence. Whether it was against Karen Wilson or Mark King, Robertson played amazing performances, so Robertson had a certain advantage in form. In addition, although Robertson trailed Higgins 11-12 in the record of the game, in the only long-term final between the two sides, robertson successfully laughed to the end, and this experience made Robertson more relaxed in his mentality. Judging from the energy of both sides, Robertson also has the upper hand, because he is very young, and he can quickly recover his strength after experiencing hard battles. But this is more difficult for Higgins, after all, higgins, the "wizard" today, is no longer young.
Higgins is likely to dream of the final again
In recent times, the seven-five-three masters have hardly bargained for the post-80s Big Three, and O'Sullivan was defeated by the Big Three in turn last season. Although Higgins is ahead of Robertson in terms of hand-to-hand record, it is still very difficult to beat a player of Robertson's level in terms of his current competitive state. After a week of travel, Higgins is not in optimistic shape at the moment, and there have even been many mistakes in the game against O'Sullivan. But his mistakes were also spared for O'Sullivan's mistakes, but when faced with Robertson, such mistakes would be fatal. Because Robertson not only has the ability to attack from afar, but also has a super ability to control the overall situation, and is the only existence that has the ability to compete with it in the final at the peak of Trump. When facing such a player, Higgins may have a hard time finding a breakthrough in the game.
The English Open will see a sixth title
Since the England Open was held in 2016, no player has won two or more times, and those who have won the English Open are now all out. This means that whether Robertson wins the title or Higgins wins, the English Open will have a sixth champion. From an objective point of view, the probability of Robertson winning the championship is already very large. Although everyone hopes that Higgins can win the championship, Robertson is currently in a much better competitive state than Higgins. And in addition to the competitive state, the impact of physical strength and energy on the players is also very large, and age also determines that there is a big difference in the physical fitness and energy of the two people. If a player can't keep up with the intensity of the game physically, then he is much more likely to make mistakes in the game. So even in the same competitive state, Robertson can occupy some advantages, not to mention Robertson, who is currently in full swing. It is worth mentioning that if Robertson can successfully complete the championship, then Higgins will also unlock another record, that is, his ranking runner-up number will surpass O'Sullivan and Hendry at the first place in history and become a veritable runner-up king.
