The 2022 Snooker German Masters ended the two semi-finals, and the Chinese team's twin stars Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao all played Kai, and the two defeated their respective opponents and successfully met the final of the German Masters. This result made many netizens overjoyed, and many people said that after Ding Junhui and Xiao Guodong, it was difficult to see the "derby" of Chinese players in the final of snooker international competitions. Last season, Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong performed more and more eye-catchingly, the former won the first title of their careers in the Masters at the beginning of the year, and the latter was a big victory in the British Championship at the end of the year, with the attitude of a big dark horse.
The sudden rise of two young Chinese snooker players has also darkened the stars of the leader Ding Junhui. In the 2022 season, Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong both failed to play well, and doubled in the Masters, one of the three major competitions in the world. After a brief adjustment, the two returned to the field. The snooker German Masters are full of stars, and the names of the world's first Selby, world champions Trump, Murphy and other players are all listed. Before the game, Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong were not optimistic, and even many media gave up reporting on the match between these two. But from the first round of matches, the status of China's two world champions continued to rise.
Yan Bingtao defeated Selby in the quarterfinals to achieve a "triple kill" against the world's first. Some people joked, "Selby is not afraid of anyone, just afraid of the biggest nemesis Yan Bingtao." Zhao Xintong beat Trump for the first time in the quarter-finals, showing his domineering spirit as a British Championship champion. In the two semi-finals, Zhao Xintong defeated Rich in 9 innings to reach the final of the German Masters for the first time. Yan Bingtao continued to refresh his own historical highs after a hard battle against Allen. The two snooker Chinese players advanced to the final, which made many netizens happy.
In the final of the 2013 Shanghai Masters, ding junhui and Xiao Guodong, a brother at the time, staged a classic showdown. In the 2013 Chengdu National Championships, Ding Junhui and Fu Jiajun met in the final. After 9 years, China's snooker once again proved itself on the world stage, and Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong met in the final of the German Masters, allowing everyone to see the growth of a new generation of Chinese snooker players. For the upcoming final, Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong looked forward to this "derby".
Yan Bingtao said that being able to compete against Chinese players in the final of the Masters is both pressure and motivation. He has a good relationship with Zhao Xintong in private, and hopes that he and his teammates can provide a wonderful duel for everyone. Zhao Xintong said that he and Yan Bingtao are in good shape at present, and they are very proud and proud to meet their teammates in their own country on the final stage. Some fans joked, "The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all meat, and the Buddhist system is finished watching the game." Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong have not yet won the championship this season, this roommate, who are you more optimistic about?
