Zhao Xintong made a stunning appearance in the Q tour Sweden competition, scoring the first perfect score of 147 points in Q tour history, showing the style of the return of the king.
The young Chinese snooker player not only performed well in the game, but also created a historic moment, which makes people sigh that his strength and form have returned to the peak level.
Zhao Xintong's comeback to participate in the Q tour Sweden is scheduled for October 2024, although the specific date and location have not yet been announced, but it is not worth touching us to feel the shock he brings.
You know, being able to score a perfect score of 147 on the amateur tour is not something that can be done casually.
It's like shooting a long-range three-pointer on a street basketball court with your back to the basket!
It's amazing!
Unfortunately, there was no video recording of the game, and this historic moment cannot be preserved forever.
But then again, sometimes the feeling of witnessing a miracle happens is more precious than watching a video, isn't it?
It's like seeing a meteor streak across the night sky with your own eyes, and that kind of shock and beauty is something that a video can never fully convey.
Zhao Xintong's performance in this competition can be said to be all the way forward.
In the first round, he defeated Belgium's Daan · Lessen with a score of 85, 52 and 55 points in a single stroke.
