Snooker Northern Ireland Open has entered the final stage of winning the championship after the fierce showdown. After the popular favorites such as O'Sullivan , Trump , Higgins , Neil Robertson from Australia have undoubtedly become the most powerful contender for the championship.
In the quarterfinals, Neil Robertson and Mark Selby staged a showdown between super accuracy and super defense. Although Selby relied on defense to force Robertson to make mistakes and fouls, the powerful Robertson used his unrivaled offense to suppress his opponent and advanced to the semi-finals with a 5-2 victory.
There is no doubt that Robertson, who is 40 years old, has ushered in another peak of his career. He won the honor of Best Player last season. Although he missed the first few games this season, he won the championship in his first men's and women's mixed doubles matches and is expected to win the Northern Ireland Open championship again.
Frankly speaking, according to overall condition and season performance, Robertson can definitely be the first candidate for snooker . His super stable performance has won praise and envy from many players, but even so in Robertson's heart, the title of snooker's first person in history is one person.
World champion winner Robertson was interviewed by British Sports. When asked which three athletes were the best players in his heart, Robertson first said the names of Nathan Barkley ( rugby player) and Michael Jordan (basketball player), and then he gave the position of the first person in his heart to Ronnie O'Sullivan .
Robertson said: Ronnie and I are not much different from each other in the age range, but he is my always a role model and guide. Although there are also great players such as Henderly , Davis , Higgins, etc., it is O'Sullivan that I want to choose the best player.
The two can be said to be heroes and cherish heroes. Their previous careers have dedicated many classic games. In the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Masters that ended not long ago, Robertson was even more defeated by O'Sullivan Online Education in a hot state. This duel was also called a rare and exciting battle in recent years by fans.
Of course, the biggest problem for Robertson at this stage is that he cannot increase his number of World Championships championships. After all, this will affect the historical status of a snooker player, but in Robertson's heart he still has a great chance. After all, O'Sullivan can still top Cruzburg again at the age of 47.
Robertson said: Young players are rising rapidly this year, but seeing O'Sullivan still win the World Championship at the age of 47 is a huge encouragement for me at the age of 40. I believe I will win the World Championship even though it is very difficult.
Robertson will face defending champion Mark Allen in the next Northern Ireland Open semi-finals. I believe that the two in hot form will inevitably bring a wonderful showdown, and we will wait and see who can get a place in the final.
