Even the fans sighed, "I didn't expect that Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong would come so soon in the final, and I thought I would have to wait for 3 or 5 years." "Of course, the two men deserved to reach the final, along the way, both have big hearts, excellent technology, and people are admirable. After all, Zhao Xintong is only 24 years old, while Yan Bingtao is only 21 years old, and in the future, there are still unlimited possibilities in them. Even, they have won three major competitions.
It is worth mentioning that Ding Junhui did not qualify for this competition, because he was out of the qualifiers a long time ago.
