Chinese snooker star Xiao Guodong delivered a masterclass at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield, crushing England’s Matthew Selt 10-4 to storm into the round of 16! 🌟 The match saw Xiao dominate with a *🔥 fiery opening session*, racking up a 7-2 lead thanks to two century breaks and three 50+ scores. Though Selt briefly rallied, Xiao sealed victory with three straight frames. Talk about precision under pressure! 💪
Up next? Xiao could face Scottish legend John Higgins or Englishman Joe O’Connor. Meanwhile, China’s Zhao Xintong leads 7-2 against last year’s finalist Jak Jones—setting up a potential all-Chinese showdown with Lei Peifan. 🇨🇳 Don’t sleep on Fan Zhengyi, either, trailing world No. 8 Mark Allen by just one frame (5-4) after day one.
