In the early morning of January 5, Beijing time, for the majority of Chinese snooker fans, this night was worth it! Zhao Xintong has won the championship again! Having won the champions of the third group of the Champions League and entered the championship group, it is expected to join hands with the first group champion Liang Wenbo to fight for the overall title of the Champions League for China Snooker.
From six consecutive wins in the group stage, to a 3-1 win over Bingham in the semi-finals, and a 3-2 victory over Xiao Guodong in the final, Zhao Xintong's current state can only be described in one word: fire!
With 8 consecutive wins and a total victory record, Zhao Xintong has brought more expectations to everyone and also allowed us to see more bright spots in the 24-year-old Chinese snooker star. Perhaps this season's Championship win is just a starting point, and we look forward to the next Trump.
The final had ups and downs, Zhao Xintong won the first two consecutive sets, Xiao Guodong hit 2 strokes 90+ in a row to drag the game into the decider, and Zhao Xintong won the decider with 66 points.
After the final, Zhao Xintong and Xiao Guodong talked and laughed, such a picture, for Chinese snooker fans, is simply too happy! Without Ding Junhui, our Chinese snooker still has a strong competitiveness.
In the final group champion interview session, Zhao Xintong was interviewed in English throughout the whole process, and his spoken language was very fluent, and Zhao Xintong had an international style! After 5 years of playing professional snooker in the United Kingdom, Zhao Xintong finally ushered in an outbreak this season, which can also be regarded as cashing in his talent.
Judging from the current feeling of the game, the previous British Championship victory was like breaking a layer of window paper, and Zhao Xintong transformed, from a "stunned head" to a real snooker master!
