The 2022 Snooker Players Championship ends the fifth day of contention.
At 9 p.m., wizard Higgins and Jimmy Robertson compete for a spot in the final semifinals. Higgins came up with a two-shot 50+ to start 2-0. The game seems to be going in the normal direction. In the 3rd inning, Robertson scored a 58 to set up a small-point advantage, and Higgins began to flip the game, but lost the final black ball. This missed black ball is not only the beginning of the game to start to deviate, but also the epitome of Higgins' entire game, the focus of the game has been wrong, the position, accuracy, mistakes from time to time unexpected. In the 4th set, Higgins made multiple mistakes, and Robertson scored 57 points to equalize.
After a short break, Robertson played twice, scoring 59 points to beat the score. Subsequently, Higgins played on the bench and scored a 68-pointer to complete the super point, and the battle was 3 draws. In the 7th inning, Robertson seized on Higgins' mistake and broke the hundred; in the 8th inning, Higgins made a simple red ball mistake, and Robertson scored 57 points to make it 5-3 to match point. Higgins shot 80 to save a match point. In the 10th set, Higgins missed the ball, Robertson did not score the ball in the bag of powder, but the Wizarding Black Ball mistake gave the opportunity, and Gibberish completed the super point for the second time, super 5 points. After that, Higgins scored two snookers and successfully scored a penalty, but unfortunately could not find the opportunity to reverse the stage. Defensively, Robertson used snooker to form a delayed score, but he lost a hard-won yellow ball, giving Higgins hope again. But Higgins was still struggling to find the opportunity to turn the black over, and finally Higgins missed the ball, Robertson cleared the coffee ball and the blue ball, eliminated the wizard 6-4, and broke out a lot of cold.
At three o'clock in the morning, Hawkins and Walton competed for a place in the final. Wharton scored a 69 in the first inning and a 60-point shot in the second inning that was reversed by Hawkins. Hawkins then scored a hundred and 61 points a shot to reach match point 5-2. In the final game, Hawkins seized the opportunity to score a difficult super dividend ball, a 75 points, 6-2 to advance to the final. Hawkins also fell out of the top 16 at one point last season, but has since returned to the top 16 through three semi-finals at the German Masters, the Players' Championship and the Tour Championship. This season, Hawkins has performed mediocrely in most games, but through the semi-finals of the British Championship and the semi-finals of this Players Championship, the ranking has steadily risen, and the Masters have also reached the final. The last time Hawkins reached the final of the ranking tournament was at the China Open four years ago.
