Joe Perry has been in an extremely poor season and has seen his form plummet, winning just 10 and losing 15 games so far, with a win rate of just 40 percent. There are almost no highlights of the season, and he is rarely seen in the top 16 and top 8 games, and only 145 points in a single stroke are still barely maintaining his status as a master.
You must know that two years ago, he also won the second ranking championship, the 2022 Welsh Open final, Joe Perry defeated Xiaote 9-5 to win the championship, the scenery is infinite for a while, and even makes people sigh that the "second spring" of his career is coming. But I didn't expect him to fall so much, although he is still ranked 27th in the world, he is ranked 69th in the season, and only 220,000 bonus points.
Joe Perry is 74 years old, older than 75 Sanjiedu, about half a hundred. In terms of age, the decline in form is understandable, after all, he is not O'Sullivan, Higgins, Mark Williams, and can maintain a high standard at an advanced age. People are often only old for a moment, and perhaps this year is the beginning of the twilight of Joe Perry's career.
Joe Perry is not a talented player, with a mediocre skill set and a typical old-school player. He has only won 2 ranking tournaments so far, and the first ranking championship was in the final of the 2015 PTC event, where he defeated Uncle Ma 4-3 to win the championship. Given the gold content of the game, 2022 is the highlight of Joe Perry's career. Of course, he has also won the runner-up twice, losing to O'Sullivan 7-10 in the 2017**G Masters and Jimmy Robertson 6-9 in the 2018 European Masters.
Because of his domineering appearance and playing style, Joe Perry has the nickname of "Joe Gang Leader". It's just that the gang leader is now old, and I'm afraid it's not far off to quit the rivers and lakes.
