O’Sullivan sacked Trump with 18:13 innings, becoming the world champion for the seventh time, tying the “Billiard Emperor” Huntley, and breaking the oldest record at the age of 46. At that time, he said he would not rule out the next game. Ji Zheng defended his title, but emphasized that he only wanted to enjoy billiards, not to surpass Huntley. He then told the British media, “If I want, or I can play until I am regarding 55 years old.” The Rockets also recalled that at the age of 33, when they saw Huntley and Davis going downhill, they felt that their performance would gradually decline as well.
The British “Daily Mail” reported that 4.5 million people watched the live broadcast to witness O’Suliyun’s victory, which was the most watched on the day, better than “Coronation Street”, and also better than the last season’s World Formula One (F1) Shake Station, the Red Bull driver. Westarben beat “Black Emperor” Hamilton to win the championship by 100,000 more.
