Berlin, January 30 (Xinhua) -- The 2022 Snooker German Masters ended on the 30th at the Tempdu Concert Hall in Berlin, with the final staged in the "China Derby", and Zhao Xintong finally won the championship with a 9-0 victory over Yan Bingtao.
Zhao Xintong eliminated Trump and Wharton in the quarter-finals and Wharton respectively. The first stage of the final process was shocking, Yan Bingtao failed to enter the state as fast as possible, and Zhao Xintong played more and more smoothly, playing 1 shot to break the hundred, 5 to 60+, only in the second and eighth sets did not play 50+, won 8 consecutive sets, and got the match point.
In the second stage, the suspense of the game basically disappeared. Zhao Xintong was not soft, and used a wave of attack after the last red ball in the ninth game to complete the super point, defeated Yan Bingtao 9:0, won the second championship of the ranking match of the season, and became the double champion of the "post-90s" with McGill, Brechel and other golfers.
From the crown of the British Championship to the victory of the German Masters, Zhao Xintong won the championship twice only 56 days apart, becoming the player who won the first championship in the ranking competition in history and won the second championship in the ranking competition in the shortest time.
After Ding Junhui won the German Masters in 2014, Zhao Xintong became the second Chinese to win the event. He also became the third player in snooker history to miss a set in a two-stage ranking final, the other two being Davis and Robertson.
Zhao Xintong's current world ranking has risen from ninth to eighth, setting a new personal high, and the single-season ranking continues to rank first. (End)
