On January 29, Beijing time, the snooker Masters continued. In the results of the match that have been released, there are 2 Chinese players, namely Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao. Yan Bingtao presented a very wonderful match in the game, two consecutive sets of 5-4, first to kill the world's number one Selby, and then eliminated Ryan Day to advance to the semi-finals. Zhao Xintong also eliminated Xiaote 5-1 in the competition to advance to the semifinals. The two will appear in order at 21:00 and 3:00 this evening, and I am looking forward to seeing a wonderful duel between the two in the final.
In addition to the excitement of Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, Fan Zhengyi, who is also from CBSA World Snooker Academy, is also surprising. He set a new career record this time - to advance to the first quarter-final of his career. As the 88th-ranked player in the world, Fan Zhengyi is often eliminated early in the game, which is a personal breakthrough for him. Although he regrettably stopped at the defeat of Mark Allen in the following game, he was still happy for him. Sometimes we need to give them positive encouragement in a timely manner, hoping that the three sons of the academy will continue to move forward side by side in the future and create more records.

But soon, Higginson fought for a clean sheet with 85 points in the sixth inning. In the seventh set, Higginson scored only 5 points in the upper hand, and then Fan Zhengyi scored a single shot of 104 points to win, leading the set to match point. In the eighth set, Anyway, Yi again played a single 78 points, 108-22 to win the game, the big score 5-3 win.
However, he lost to Mark Allen in the subsequent competition, but it was a breakthrough for Fan Zhengyi, and the academy congratulated it, hoping that in the future, the children of the academy would be able to play better and live up to the hard training of their youth. The academy is very much looking forward to seeing the showdown between the twin stars of the academy, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, in the final showdown.
