Recently, there are two good news from Chinese snooker! First of all, in the ongoing English Open, Chinese player Wu Yize defeated defending champion Trump 5-3 to advance to the semifinals. In addition, world champion Zhao Xintong lifted the ban and made his comeback debut to advance easily!
In the 1/4 finals of the English Open, Wu Yize faced off against the world's No. 1 Trump. Normally, the opponent is playing at home, and the strength is obviously stronger. The probability of Wu Yize losing is definitely higher. The quarterfinals are a best-of-9 system. In the first 4 games, the two sides drew 2-2. In the crucial fifth game, both men made mistakes in the attack. Wu Yize finally seized the opportunity and won 67-42. 3-2, Wu Yize leads. In the sixth game, it was another offensive and defensive battle. In the stalemate, Wu Yize once again played bravely to win. 4-2, Wu Yize got the match point game. Although the situation was behind, Trump did not give up, and after winning the seventh game, he put pressure on Wu Yize. In the eighth game, Wu Yize withstood the pressure and scored 68 points in a single stroke. Trump also conceded defeat. Wu Yize also defeated Trump 5-3 to advance to the semifinals of the English Open. 21-year-old Wu Yize also advanced to the semifinals of the Masters for the first time, congratulations!
In another venue, Bulgaria, former world champion Zhao Xintong made his debut after his comeback from the ban. With a score of 3-0, you can easily advance to the next round!
We all know that Zhao Xintong is the third Chinese player to become a world champion after Ding Junhui and Yan Bingtao. Previously, everyone was optimistic that Zhao Xintong would succeed Ding Junhui and carry the banner of China's snooker leader. However, last year, because of gambling, Zhao Xintong was banned by the World Taiwan Federation. It didn't officially expire until recently.
Many people feel sorry for Zhao Xintong! Normally, Zhao Xintong's family is good, and his parents are entrepreneurs. Have your own villa in the United Kingdom with luxury cars! He should not be short of money. And there are reports that earlier he found out that Yan Bingtao was involved in gambling, and specially persuaded Yan Bingtao. I didn't expect to get involved later! Of course, compared to Yan Bingtao, Zhao Xintong obviously felt like playing. As a result, something happened too! was finally banned by the World Taiwan Federation!
Because of the ban, Zhao Xintong's original top ten in the world was also canceled! After lifting the ban and making a comeback, Zhao Xintong needs to impact his professional qualifications again. Zhao Xintong's opponent is a Lithuania player. appeared in the arena again, and Zhao Xintong's state was obviously not adjusted to the best. The offensive was interrupted several times. It's just that the opponent's strength is limited and fails to pose a threat to Zhao Xintong! Win three games in a row in just 40 minutes!
Even so, it can be regarded as a new beginning for Zhao Xintong! I also look forward to Zhao Xintong getting back to form as soon as possible and continuing to prove himself on the field! Come on!
