The much-anticipated 2022 Snooker Tour Championship finally ushered in the final moment after a few days of fierce duels, with "Melbourne Machine" Neil Robertson vs . "Wizard" John Higgins competing for the final championship trophy.
The two sides have been tied in the previous record of twelve wins and twelve losses, but as they grow older, Higgins' recent record against Robertson has not been outstanding, and he was killed by Robertson in the recent English Open and won the second place.
At the beginning of the game, although both sides soared into the long stage but could not continue to score, after a tangled two battles to the stage of the color ball, Higgins first forced the opponent to foul through the defense, but unfortunately Robertson had a chance to win the next game when the pink ball made a mistake, Higgins resisted the pressure to achieve a clear point to achieve a point of elimination.
Back in the second set Robertson due to the loss of the first set obviously somewhat affected the mentality of the defensive process of mistakes and missed opportunities, Higgins came on the court to accurately score and face the complex players a strong clearance to blast a single high score of 136 2-0 temporary lead.
In the next two sets, Higgins first interrupted the score and then grabbed Robertson's missed ball and soared into the longstand to blast a single shot over 100 to open the score, but in the fourth set Robertson finally scored a long shot to get on the mobile phone will not give Higgins a chance to come on stage to return a shot over 100 to enter the half-time break 1-3.
Higgins' feel also declined after the break, the two launched a long tug-of-war score is also difficult to solve, after a defensive Roberts leaked out of the pocket but due to the angle of the over-straight Higgins failed to score, Robertson finally completed the super score to 2-3.
Winning two consecutive sets also allowed Robertson to find his proper state, scoring several difficult red balls in a row, Robertson began to impact the single par 147, but unfortunately the last blue ball was close to the library Robertson's force to hit unsuccessfully regrettably missed the highest single score of this event.
Higgins, who returned from the seventh inning and was chased back for three consecutive sets, began to exert his strength, and in the case of Robertson's missed opportunity, he directly completed the super point without mercy, and bombarded the third personal shot of the game to take a 4-3 lead. In the last set of the first stage, it was higgins who took the lead in getting the mobile phone and did not give Robertson another chance to take the stage, directly completing the super score to blast 80+ to lead 5-3.
Throughout the first stage of the game, I have to lament that Higgins is too powerful, the momentum of three bombs over a hundred has declared that this final will be his revenge battle, Robertson although the start is not good to feel three sets behind but fortunately in the second half of the start to chase back the three sets did not be pulled apart, and almost successfully completed the feat of single shot 147. The final tie-up between the two sides will start at 2:30 a.m., and it remains to be seen who will lift the trophy.
