SNOOKER’s Class of 92 Defying Expectations: How Long Can They Keep Going?

Snooker’s Class of ’92, consisting of John Higgins, Mark Williams, and Ronnie O’Sullivan, continue to defy expectations and dominate the sport despite turning professional 22 years ago. With a combined total of 98 ranking titles, these three legends show no signs of slowing down.

Mark Williams recently surprised everyone by winning the Tour Championship, defeating Ronnie O’Sullivan in the final. Scottish snooker legend Stephen Hendry, who closely follows the trio’s careers, believes that time may be running out for one of them.

In a discussion with fellow cue hero Steven Davis, Hendry speculated on which of the three aging stars would be the first to “crack up.” While Davis pointed towards John Higgins, Hendry agreed, noting that Higgins seems to be struggling with confidence on the table.

Despite the speculation, Hendry believes that Ronnie O’Sullivan is the favorite to win the World Championship this year. He acknowledges O’Sullivan’s unmatched talent and genius on the table, predicting that if O’Sullivan doesn’t secure an eighth world title this year, he may never do it.

Hendry’s insights into the Class of ’92 provide a fascinating look into the world of snooker and the enduring legacy of these three exceptional players. As they continue to defy the odds and amaze fans with their skill and longevity, the snooker world eagerly awaits to see who will come out on top in the next tournament.
