18-13, O'Sullivan locked up the victory in the final of the 2022 Snooker World Championships, defeated Trump, won the championship for the seventh time, tied Hendry, and tied for the first man. It is also the 21st three-time winner of O'Sullivan's career, after seven British Championships, seven Masters, and now seven World Championships, seven laps of Grand Slams. At the age of 46, he won the title again, becoming the oldest world champion in Crucible.
At the moment of the victory, O'Sullivan hugged Trump, and then with the children who came to the scene, and even his father Ronnie Sr. came to the scene to witness the historic moment. At that moment, O'Sullivan couldn't help but shed tears of excitement, which was moving. Such a great moment, what a happy moment to be able to accompany and witness your family. There is no doubt that O'Sullivan did it and achieved his goal, the seven world championships, became his bag, chased hendry, tied for the first man in history.
For a long time, the outside world has been debating, who is the greatest player in snooker history? That's GOT! When Hendry won the World Championship for the seventh time that year, there was no doubt that it was the era and the world of Scots, almost unmatched. But with the rise of 753 Jie, and in the past nearly thirty years, has created a series of achievements and breakthroughs, Hendry's advantage has gradually been reduced, and a series of honors and records created have been broken and surpassed one by one, of which O'Sullivan is the first to bear the brunt.
In 2020, when O'Sullivan won the title for the sixth time and tied davis, the outside world was speculating whether O'Sullivan would be able to equal or even break Hendry's seven-time world championship record in his career, as if this became one of the few records that could still be maintained and led by Hendry. Now, with O'Sullivan winning, the greatest record is once again tied, and Hendry has almost no authority. Another 39 ranking championship records have also thrown off Hendry's 36, ranking first in history.
By the time O'Sullivan became the seven-time world champion and three Grand Slams in seven laps, all the competition had become meaningless, and he was the first person in snooker history, and the undisputed first. A moment that can take the peak of his career from a clueless teenager in his 20s to middle age is a moment that Hendry has not been able to achieve, let alone in today's era of fierce competition. Congratulations to O'Sullivan once again, the legend continues, and the future record is likely to continue to be rewritten.
