The question of when the '75 Trio' will retire and who will be the first to do so is a topic that many fans have long been concerned about. Recently, British media "Metro" published an article in which Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams exchanged their views. This article is a brief translation of the report. Firstly, Old Ma excluded himself from the list of potential first retirees. He said: "It won't be me, I'm far from it." Old Ma declared that he would not retire before being demoted; even if demoted, he would continue to participate in amateur competitions. Hendry believes that the first to retire will be O'Sullivan. Hendry said: "Regardless of competitive level, the rocket now makes too much money, I don't know if his competitive spirit is still there, I don't know." Old Ma basically agrees that the rocket may be the first to retire. Old Ma thinks that if the rocket cannot continue to win as before, he will not be able to accept the situation of constantly losing. Then, Old Ma gave the rocket a wave of praise, saying: "Even now, if he keeps playing, he is still the best player in the world. Even with Trump's current performance, if the rocket participates in every game and plays at his best, he is undoubtedly…
