O’Sullivan’s win at Alexandra Palace in January 2024 was the most recent occasion that a member of the sport’s fabled ‘Class of 92’ won a Triple Crown event, while John Higgins reached the Sheffield last four and the Masters final this term.
“There is a certain time when a player can perform at their best,” Ferguson said.
“Now there’s a lot more talent chasing them and a lot more talent that’s able to win. We’ve seen a big shift in the younger players. What we’re seeing now is multiple players who can actually beat the ‘Class of 92’ and go all the way.”
Liu echoed those comments, adding: “He’s about 30 years younger than those guys so I think we’re definitely witnessing an era change.
“Many players have already predicted that Zhao will be the one who will be in a dominant position in the next 10 years or so, but if Wu continues to grow in the next two or three years, he can rise together with Zhao.”
However, it should be noted that the English duo of Mark Selby and Kieran Wilson, between them, have won five world titles and won five tournaments this season, including two other Triple Crown events – the UK Championship and the Masters.
