3 Big game back-to-back wins? Zhao Xintong battle 3 people do not fall behind, avoid the nemesis or straight to the final?

In half a month, the second master of this season's three snooker competitions will be played, and Zhao Xintong will make his debut. China's post-90s generation soared in the past 2021, the British Championship reached the top to break the championship drought, and the world ranking rose to 9th to become the new leader of China's snooker. The upcoming Masters, can he still create miracles?

Zhao Xintong's advantages in playing are obvious: the offensive attack is very ornamental, with a strong ability to clear the platform, but the position, defense, it is difficult to resolve the complex situation, once the feel declines, it is easy to collapse. Zhao Xintong had never reached the final of the ranking tournament before, but this season's British Championship was upset and won the championship. However, some fans believe that the first crown of the Chinese rising star's three major competitions is not enough, after all, he has only won 1 world champion of Higgins.

The Masters have no weak brigade, the finalists are all top 16 masters ranked after the British Championship, if Zhao Xintong can win the championship back-to-back in the three major competitions, he will usher in the peak of the face-punching doubters. Zhao Xintong was divided into the top half of the Masters, with opponents in the same zone including 75 Sanjie, Robertson, Yan Bingtao, McGill and Lissovsky.

Zhao Xintong's first opponent is Higgins, the new king of the British Championship has played with the opponent 4 wins and 3 losses in the past 7 times, the British Championship killed the wizard all the way through the barrier until he won the championship, and completed the 3 consecutive kills of the world championship; if he reaches the top 8, Zhao Xintong is expected to stage a derby with Yan Bingtao, 2 people have previously played 1 win and 1 loss, Zhao Xintong won the 2020 World Grand Prix with a single shot of 103 points 4-2, and in the same year, the Northern Ireland Round of 16 yan Bingtao 4-3 kills to advance. If the upset hits the top 4, Zhao Xintong or Robertson catch and kill, the 2 people have only met once, and Zhao Xintong swept through the 2019 England Open 4-0.

It can be seen that Zhao Xintong's confrontation with the above 3 opponents in the Masters tournament is not inferior, and the game has to be played. Of course, if Zhao Xintong encounters Mark Williams in the quarterfinals, the ending will be difficult to say. Jin Left's hand had previously completed a 4-game streak against Zhao Xintong, and the Chinese teenager only saved face in the 2018 Mid-Year Championships, defeating his opponent 5-3 to win the first victory in the history of the two-man confrontation. If you can avoid nemesis Mark Williams, it is not impossible for Zhao Xintong to win the Masters for three consecutive victories and reach the final, and the probability of qualifying for the final in the second half is Trump or Selby. If Zhao Xintong can win three major championships back-to-back, he will become the second person in China to win the British Championships and Masters after Ding Junhui.
