On March 5, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker Welsh Open decided the final four, and in a strong dialogue, the world's third-ranked Trump eliminated the number one opponent Neil Robertson 5-3 to advance to the final four. In the following semi-finals, Trump played against Hussein Wafi, and if he won, Trump would most likely meet with his good friend Lissovsky again in the final, and Trump is expected to break the championship drought.
In this competition, only two seeded players made it to the quarterfinals, that is, Trump and Neil Robertson, both of whom are big hits to win the championship, but the two have a direct dialogue in the quarter-finals, which is a bit cruel. Many experts said that the winner of this match is most likely the final champion, because the other players in the quarter-final lineup are of average strength. Therefore, the two top masters should be fiercely competing.
However, Trump's match against Neil Robertson wasn't too exciting, as both were in average form, with Trump shooting a three-shot 50+ and Neil Robertson only shooting a single 95 in the second inning and failing to play the ability to attack consecutively the rest of the time. In the end, Trump eliminated Neil Robertson 5-3 to advance to the final four.
After the match, Neil Robertson said he had received news before the match that an Australian cricketer had died, and that the athlete happened to be Neil Robertson's idol, which made him sad and unable to concentrate during the game. In fact, it can also be seen from the course of the game that Neil Robertson failed to play the normal level of this season, although it was not surprising to lose to Trump, but he himself was sad to lose in this way.
Obviously, this is a good opportunity for Trump to break the championship drought, this season, Trump has only won one championship in the invitational tournament, the ranking race is not good, and the state is also very low. This time, beating number one rival Neil Robertson in the semi-finals against the relatively average Hussein Wafi was a good chance for Trump to advance to the final.
In the second half, Joe Perry and Lissovsky met in the semi-finals, and Lisovsky reversed Ali Carter with a 2-4 deficit to gain self-confidence. So, Trump is very likely to meet his good friend Lisovsky in the final, Lisovsky has not been able to win the first ranking championship, the opportunity is in front of him again, can you miss it this time?
According to the schedule, the semi-finals of Hussein Waffy and Trump will be played at 21:00 Beijing time on March 5, and the semi-finals of Joe Perry and Lissovsky will be played at 3:00 a.m. on March 6.
