At the beginning of the World Championships, there is a snooker ranking into the discussion stage, because the 2021-2022 season is over after the End of the World Championships, the corresponding best athletes of the season will also be released, at present, the World Taiwan Federation announced the top 5 candidates, Robertson, Zhao Xintong, Trump, O'Sullivan and Higgins, of which Zhao Xintong is the only Chinese player to be shortlisted.
This is the first time that Zhao Xintong has been selected as a candidate for the MVP of the World Taiwan Federation, creating a personal career history, which is gratifying and congratulatory, at the World Championships, Zhao Xintong's first round of state is hot, but unfortunately the second round of folding is in the hands of Maguire, and he did not have the opportunity to meet with O'Sullivan, ending his world championship journey.
However, on the whole, Zhao Xintong's performance is remarkable, and the two titles of British Championship champion and German Masters champion make Zhao Xintong the best player list this season.
At present, excluding the results of the World Championships, Robertson is the most eye-catching snooker star this season, holding the championships of England, Masters, Players Championship and Tour Championship, but he lost to Lissovsky at the World Championships, and was completely kicked out of the championship list, with some losses and gains, Robertson scored 147 points, becoming the 8th famous player in history to reproduce this legendary moment in the Main Game of the World Championships.
Although Robertson currently has a certain ranking advantage, the World Championships are in full swing, and the championship's £500,000 excess prize money is enough to change the ranking, so the World Championship winner is likely to be the final MVP candidate.
Now Higgins, Trump and O'Sullivan all have opportunities, of which O'Sullivan is the favorite to win the championship, and also the most favored star by fans to win the MVP this season, in the Chinese vote, O'Sullivan is also the most favored player by fans, followed by Robertson, Zhao Xintong, Trump and Higgins.
For Chinese players, being able to rank with the four major stars in the snooker industry shows the strong influence brought by Zhao Xintong's strength improvement, he is a player who is favored by the snooker king O'Sullivan, recognized as a talented player, so that Zhao Gongzi becomes a new hope for Chinese fans, interestingly, Chinese player Yan Bingtao is also placed high hopes by Chinese fans, Yan Bingtao has a stable output at the World Championships, sticking to the top 8, favored by the majority of fans, and is regarded by billiards emperor Hendry as a player who may win the world championship earlier than Zhao Xintong.
One is Zhao Xintong, who was regarded by O'Sullivan as his youth, and the other is Yan Bingtao, who is favored by his predecessors, and the "first brother" of Chinese snooker is fiercely competitive, and the pattern of Chinese snooker in the future will also revolve around geminis, of course, there is Ding Junhui, who is called "the godfather of Chinese snooker" by O'Sullivan, who is also a player with potential energy.
