China's snooker sensation Zhao Xintong delivered a masterclass on Monday, sweeping wildcard player Han Fuyuan 5-0 to advance at the WST World Open in Yushan. The world No. 5 showed why he's a fan favorite with back-to-back century breaks (128 and 103) that left the crowd cheering louder than a TikTok notification 🔔
Han, who calls Zhao his idol, briefly rallied in the fourth frame with a 48-point run – but it was like trying to stop a bullet train with a pool noodle. Zhao now faces Long Zehuang in what promises to be another electrifying all-Chinese matchup.
Meanwhile, snooker legend Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan blasted through his first match 5-1 before getting a walkover into the round of 32. The 50-year-old icon will next battle England's Matthew Selt – because apparently age really is just a number when you're a living cue sports meme 🚀
