1-2！ Zhao Xintong's first win tonight: 0-14 behind, single shot 78 points reversal, China derby staged?

Tonight, the snooker German Masters tournament continues, with Zhao Xintong and Ritchie Wharton playing in the semi-finals. China's post-90s division is unfavorable, swallowing 2 consecutive defeats as soon as it comes up. Fortunately, Zhao Xintong then broke out strongly, regained his touch in the 3rd set, completed a big reversal after 0-14, won the first win tonight, or met Yan Bingtao in the final to stage the Chinese derby.

In the past 2021, China's snooker has mixed feelings: the leader Ding Junhui fell off the altar, and the world ranking fell out of the TOP16; Yan Bingtao made his debut at the Masters and reached the top of the three consecutive ko world championships; and Zhao Xintong won the championship at the End of the Year, becoming the first place in the 3rd major competition after the 90s to create history. At the beginning of the new year, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao both entered the Champions League winners' group, and then moved to the German Masters and advanced to the top 4, with remarkable performances.

Zhao Xintong's confidence in becoming the new queen of the British Championship has greatly increased, and the 5-1 blow to Trump in the quarterfinals of this year's German Masters is a godsend, and the semi-final opponent Qi Wharton has won the ranking championship 3 times, which is not easy to deal with. Zhao Xintong's first 2 sets felt cold, losing consecutively 9-74 and 45-75 respectively. In the 3rd inning, Zhao Xintong's mother ball was sent off, and Rich Wharton hit a 14-0 lead. The Chinese Rockets then erupted in adversity, swept down the highest single shot 78 points of the game so far, reversing the opponent to win the first win of the night and pulling the score to 1-2.

Zhao Xintong, who is currently ranked 9th in the world and no. 1 in the world in a single season, has cracked into a butterfly after being tempered by the competition and has the strength to beat any top master. Yan Bingtao completed a three-game streak against the world's No. 1 Selby in this tournament, and has reached the final four for the third time in the new season, and will compete with Mark Allen for the final seat. It is expected that Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong will start the derby in the final and let China's snooker shock the world.
