The British Championship is a long-awaited event for Croatian fans, and every game is full of fierce competition and exciting performances. In the semifinals of 2023, world No. 1 O'Sullivan once again proved his strength, defeating Iran's Wafi with a score of 6-2 and successfully advanced to the final. This is also O'Sullivan's 9th time reaching the final of the British Championship, setting a new record. Although he only competed in five tournaments this season, winning the Shanghai Masters, and was in the semi-finals at the National Championships, he managed to overcome the twists and turns of the road to the top of the tournament with his experience.
At the same time, if Trump finally wins the championship, O'Sullivan will lose the world No. 1 position, which also makes the winner of the final a lot of attention. In the semifinals with Wafai, O'Sullivan first mastered the rhythm of the game, relying on a single stroke of 54 points and 113 points to win two games in a row and take the lead. Although Wafei then showed a strong counterattack and scored 112 points in a single stroke to chase the total score to a 2-2 draw, after the halftime break, O'Sullivan regained control of the situation, and finally won 4 games in a row with excellent performances of 60 points, 52 points and 90 points in a single stroke, and finally won 6-2.
This victory allowed O'Sullivan to reach the final of the British Championship again after five years, and it was also his ninth final. He will next be aiming for his eighth British Championship title, and the crowd is looking forward to his performance. The other semi-final is China's Ding Junhui against world No. 2 Trump. Although the outside world is not optimistic about Ding Junhui's victory, people still hope that he can go all out and strive to create a miracle. To sum up, the intensity of the semi-finals of the British Championship can be seen, and each player has their own strengths and weaknesses.
We look forward to the winner of the final showing the best level and bringing us a wonderful match.
