The battle between the "post-80s" and the "post-00s" in the snooker arena: the replacement of the old and the new or the lack of success?
The semifinals of the Snooker Saudi Masters have just come to an end, and although the Chinese post-00 teenager Si Jiahui played two shots to break 100 and one shot to 50+, he still lost to the experienced Mark · Williams. In another game, the "post-80s" Trump narrowly defeated Shaun · Murphy, who was also a "post-80s", by a narrow 6-5 advantage. This contest between the old and the new is not just an ordinary game, but more like a "generation gap war" in the snooker world.
Speaking of which, this young man Si Jiahui is really unlucky. Finally reached the final four, only to meet Mark · Williams, who was in hot form. This "old driver" swept Jimmy · Robertson 6-0 in the last round, and he was as fierce as a hungry wolf. Although Si Jiahui scored a high score of 116 points at the beginning, he couldn't stand the experience of others, and won four games in a row, directly pulling the score to 4-1.
I have to say that although Si Jiahui lost, this kid still has two brushes. At the critical moment, he stopped the decline with a stroke of 67 points and chased the score to 2-4. It's a pity, after all, it was a bad move, and in the end it was a 3-6 score. But then again, it's pretty good to be able to hit two shots to break 100 in this kind of high-level competition. You know, in the last round, Si Jiahui knocked out the "Rocket" O'Sullivan! This kid is definitely a potential stock!
Let's talk about Trump and Shaun · Murphy's "post-80s" civil war. These two are the "old fritters" in the snooker world, and they have fought against each other a lot in their careers. Trump has won 28 championships, Murphy also has 10, and the two are even on the 147 perfect score, both of which have shot 8. This game is simply a fairy fight, you come and go, and the fight is called a difficult one.
Trump won three games in a row at the beginning and led 3-0. Who knew that Murphy, the old boy, was not to be outdone, and chased two games in a row to chase the score to 2-3. The two went back and forth like this, and fought until the tiebreaker. In the end, Trump finally won the game with a score of 50 points. This game made my palms sweat, and it was enjoyable!
Speaking of which, I have to sigh: the replacement of the old and the new in the snooker world is really interesting. On the one hand, there are post-00s rookies like Si Jiahui, although they have outstanding skills, they are still inexperienced; On the other side are post-80s veterans such as Trump and Murphy, although they are a little older, they are experienced and can always stabilize their positions at critical moments. This can't help but remind people of the old saying: One minute on stage, ten years off stage. The sport of snooker is not something that can be eaten by talent alone.
But then again, it's not easy for a new generation of players like Si Jiahui to reach the semi-finals in such a high-level competition. You must know that before him, there were only two Chinese players who could reach the semifinals at the World Championships, Ding Junhui and Fu Jiajun. Although Si Jiahui stopped in the semi-finals this time, he received a prize money of 100,000 pounds and rose to 13th in the world ranking. This is already quite a remarkable achievement for a post-00 player.
Looking at the performance of the entire Chinese army, although the Saudi Masters was wiped out this time, the total prize money also reached 406,000 pounds, equivalent to 3.776 million yuan. Although it is not as good as the results of European and American players, it can be regarded as a good gain. Especially players like Si Jiahui and Xiao Guodong have won a lot of bonuses. This is undoubtedly good news for promoting the development of snooker in China.
In the final analysis, the sport of snooker requires not only the vigor and innovation of young people, but also the experience and stability of veterans. The replacement of the old and the new is an inevitable trend, but this process is by no means achieved overnight. Just like this competition, although the post-00s teenager Si Jiahui performed well, it was Trump of the post-80s who finally reached the final. Doesn't this show that the "generation gap" in the snooker world is far from being completely crossed?
However, I think that this kind of competition between the old and the new is precisely the charm of snooker. Young people are motivated and dare to innovate; The veterans have experience and know how to control. The two collide with each other and learn from each other in order for the sport to continue to progress and develop.
So finally, I would like to ask: In your opinion, how will the replacement of the old and the new in the snooker world develop? Will the newcomers rise quickly, or will the veterans continue to rule? What do you think about this?
