Judd Trump – Ronnie O’Sullivan

13: 45-17: 00

Sullivan 1-1 Trump

The frame is quickly placed on the bed and it is time for a milestone. Ronnie makes his own 200th century at the World Championships, what a shocking feat this is. He is also 13th in this tournament, tying his best record in a Crucible campaign. The break ends at 120, and Ronnie receives a thunderous applause.

Sullivan 0-1 Trump (50-0)

Ronnie is half a century old and, as has been said many times, it is truly magical to see him take a break. His touch and focus look impressive here, as did Judd in the first frame. Good signs here that we are in a high quality final.

Sullivan 0-1 Trump (22-0)

Here’s a chance for Ronnie to respond as Judd misses a long run down the right and gives Ronnie an easy start. He is in the pack early, affecting a good split, and two good recovery shots on the turn in pink and a red keep his break. If he can open a path for blacks in both corners, he will deal.

Sullivan 0-1 Trump

It’s a break 72 from Judd to get the first frame.

Sullivan 0-0 Trump (0-67)

The factory had opened everything right, and Jad quickly settles to 41 and keeps counting, something that has put the box away from Ronnie. First days, but Judd’s advantage.

Sullivan 0-0 Trump (0-27)

Another bad security from Ronnie leaves Judd easy on the starter, but he is so straight that he has no chance of highlighting the pink or black he is currently tied. Instead, Jade uses his infinite power to push white through blue. He can only do six, however, before losing a red down left. No player has settled down yet, but Judd can now – he just picked a lovely plant in red down right and it is in green.

Sullivan 0-0 Trump (0-20)

An erroneous safety assessment by Ronnie leaves a red long bottom right. Jad throws it away confidently and holds the blue. He then mops what is in the countryside, but when he enters the gang, the separation leaves him with nothing to go on, so there is a security.

Where is your money?

The consensus seems to be that Ronnie is a slight favorite today. While in better shape than the two, Judd won without stepping on his best game so far. Few players in the game could have endured this draw from Mark Williams in the last two seasons of their semifinals, but Judd did and will be ready for it.

As relentless as Jade has been in recent years, the 2021-22 season saw him in slightly less threatening form than the previous three seasons. That “weak” season included winning the Champion of Champions and the Turkish Masters, but he knows that in order to rise to the all-time great list he must produce more in the Triple Crown. If he can win here, he will be only the seventh to win the Crucible world title more than once. An interesting factor in the first session today is how much this epic victory in yesterday’s semifinal against Higgins could have taken him.

What a run in the final it was for Ronnie. He beat David Gilbert 10-5, Mark Allen 13-4, Steven Maguire 13-5 and yesterday he knocked out John Higgins 17-11. He is as good as he looked at Crucible from 2012-14, when he came so close to winning three titles in a row. Everything about Ronnie’s game is so solid right now and, as Higgins said last night, he was deadly when he stepped inside. He really wants this seventh world gong and you can see there is something different about him this year.

Good afternoon!

Welcome back to Crucible. After 15 days of racing, 561 frames and 103 century breaks, it all comes down to this: Ronnie O’Sullivan faces Judd Trump in the final of the 2022 World Snooker Championship. What a fight it promises to be. There are so many good players in the world right now that any combination of John Higgins, Mark Williams, Mark Selby, Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy, Zhao Xintong, Kyren Wilson, Luca Brecel, Mark Allen or Yan Bingtao – to name just ten – would we had to rub our hands, but let’s not deny what we have here. is a match we’ve been waiting for, the big one in The Big One. It’s pointless to crash back into Ronnie O’Sullivan’s biography. For those who know – and I count on this list Stephen Hendry and John Higgins, who both said so much – he is the best player to ever see the game. The point where this greatness was hidden in the title The Most Naturally Talented Player Ever To Pick Up A Cue, while his record of winning trophies has long been surpassed. If he wins here, he will be world number seven, bringing him on par with Hendry in modern times. As for Judd, this is his third Crucible final and his first since winning his one and only world title in 2019. It was a catalytic victory in a disastrous four-season series, in which he won 15 standings plus the famous Champion of Champions and Masters. Despite the blizzard of victories, he has not reached a Triple Crown race since that Crucible victory three years ago. To reach the very top table in the pantheon of adults he still has work to do and today is a huge setting for him on this journey. Add to all this occasional sparks and remarks between the two, an important final record of 7-3 in favor of Trump and the only meeting at a similar distance to see Ronnie serve Jade 17-11 in the 2013 Crucible semifinals. . , then you have something to really enjoy. That could be a finale for centuries to come.

The. Is. Year.

It’s Ronnie O’Sullivan vs. Judd Trump for the big one, and we’ll be in every shot from 12:45 BST today. John Higgins said there is no question that O’Sullivan is the best snooker player of all time. O’Sullivan beat Higgins 17-11 and advanced to his eighth Crucible final – despite not having the perfect preparation, as Rocket revealed to Eurosport after the match. A win for O’Sullivan would tie him with Stephen Hendry in seven world titles. O’Sullivan is widely regarded as the best to get a slogan, but some argue that as Hendry has more world titles he gets higher. A victory for O’Sullivan would end the debate for many, but Higgins says it is already clear that today’s No. 1 in the world is the snooker GOAT. “I think he would consolidate his position in the eyes of everyone,” Higgins told O’Sullivan’s Eurosport. “I think a lot of people will continue to believe that Stephen will have the seven world championships and he is the best, but there is no discussion in my eyes.” “I have never seen him with such intensity” – O’Sullivan hits the 10th century Crucible of 2022 —- Broadcast the 2022 World Championships and more top snooker action live and on demand on Discovery + World Championship “The fight I waited 10 years” – O’Sullivan vs. Trump moves McManus 43 MINUTES BEFORE World Championship “I did not even have a dressing room!” O’Sullivan reveals Crucible’s “non-ideal” blunder 3 HOURS BEFORE
