Snooker exploded! Zhao Xintong lost 2 consecutive defeats, overturned the world championship after 90, and the new generation won 3 wins and 6 losses!

In the early morning of the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, the winners of the 2022 Snooker Champions League ended the first day of competition, and the competition was constantly unpopular. When the red fried chicken Zhao Xintong 2 consecutive defeats ushered in the beginning of hell, the post-90s celebrity Donaldson upset the world champion Dortmund, but the 3 new generation players Zhao Xintong, Donaldson and Yan Bingtao performed poorly overall, 9 wins and 3 wins and 6 losses, completely suppressed by the "old boys" after the 70s.

Since winning the British Championship at the end of last year, Zhao Xintong's self-confidence has improved significantly, and several competitions have shown a high level: the 3rd group of the Champions League has played an 8-game winning streak to advance, the German Open has reached the final, and 9-0 swept Yan Bingtao to unlock the second crown of the single season. However, the young and famous Zhao Gongzi was not stable enough, and suffered a round trip at the World Grand Prix and the Masters.

The final matchup of the Champions League, Zhao Xintong was unfavorable and repeatedly defeated, the first round of playing a single 79 points 1-3 defeat to Higgins, the second round of the showdown against another world champion Bingham is even more cold, there is no 1 single shot 50+, the total score of 0-3 was swept miserably. Coming to the 3rd round, Zhao Xintong finally ushered in his first win, played 5 full sets in the Chinese derby, and regained his hand to blast 143 points and 73 points to kill Yan Bingtao 3-2. If Zhao Xintong wants to ensure that he advances to the top 4, he must maintain a full victory in the last three group matches on the second day, which is not easy to do.

Donaldson won the Champions League in 2020 and became famous by completing a 3-game streak against Ding Junhui. Scotland's post-90s first game was swept 0-3 by Liang Wenbo, and the second game was quickly adjusted, playing a single shot of 69 points 3-0 to overturn the 2006 World Championship champion Dortmund. However, overall, the strong rise of the post-90s this season, as well as the strongest post-00s Yan Bingtao, on the first day of this tournament, the performance was not satisfactory. Zhao Xintong, Donaldson and Yan Bingtao all won 1 and lost 2, ranking 5-7 with a total of 3 wins and 6 losses, and the prospects for promotion are not optimistic. If the new generation of snooker wants to truly shake the dominance of the 5 Tigers and The Three Masters, it must also come up with a more convincing performance.
