Legendary! With two 147 breaks and four centuries, O'Sullivan advances to the finals with a 6-3 victory, breaking records and raking in the cash.

On August 16, Beijing time, the Snooker Saudi Masters concluded its semifinals. In a highlight match, the greatest player in history, O'Sullivan, delivered a legendary performance, scoring two 147 breaks and defeating Wakelin 6-3 to secure his place in the finals. O'Sullivan was unstoppable in this match, achieving four century breaks and two over 60 points, turning the game into a showcase!

At 50 years old, O'Sullivan holds seven World Championship titles and countless honors, ranking among the top sixteen in the world. Last season, he participated in many exhibition matches, earning significant prize money, which led him to skip many ranking events until returning for the World Championship, where he was eliminated by Zhao Xintong. This season, O'Sullivan made a strong comeback; at the Shanghai Masters, he lost to Kyren Wilson and missed the semifinals. At the Saudi Masters, O'Sullivan was fierce, overcoming a significant deficit against Chang Bingyu and Kyren Wilson to complete a stunning comeback into the semifinals, where he would face Wakelin for a spot in the finals. This was truly the best scenario for O'Sullivan, as his opponent's strength was lacking, making his advancement to the finals a certainty!

As expected, O'Sullivan went wild, starting with an impressive 147 break to take the lead, instantly igniting the crowd's enthusiasm. Little did anyone know this was just the beginning; O'Sullivan then entered showcase mode, sealing the second frame with a 142 break to lead 2-0. Wakelin then fought back, leveling the match at 3-3. In the seventh frame, O'Sullivan scored another 147 break, achieving two 147s in one match, which was truly remarkable and legendary. In the eighth frame, O'Sullivan scored 67 points multiple times to secure the win. In the ninth frame, he scored 134 points, rounding off the match perfectly. Ultimately, he triumphed 6-3 over Wakelin to advance to the finals, achieving four century breaks and two 147s—truly deserving of the title of the best in snooker!

This victory allowed O'Sullivan to shatter multiple records. This is the first time in seven years that he has achieved a 147 break again, and he became the only player to score two 147s in a single match in one day. Additionally, he earned a substantial prize fund; for the two 147 breaks, he received £147,000, and he also earned £50,000 for the highest single break, taking home two-thirds of that. Plus, with at least £200,000 for being the runner-up, he could potentially earn £380,000 for winning one match, and if he defeats Robertson to win the championship, he could take home £680,000!
