Chinese snooker star Zhao Xintong delivered a jaw-dropping performance on Saturday, April 4th, demolishing veteran John Higgins 10-1 in the Tour Championship semifinals. The victory propels him into Sunday’s final against world No. 1 Judd Trump in what’s being called the most lopsided match of Higgins’ career 🚀.
Zhao, 29, turned Manchester Central into his personal playground, racing to an 8-0 lead with precision breaks including a flawless 104. Higgins—nicknamed the 'Wizard of Wishaw'—could only watch as Zhao’s cue magic left him scrambling for answers. The Scot narrowly avoided a historic whitewash by claiming the 10th frame, but it was too little, too late 🎯.
'I’m just enjoying every shot like it’s my last,' Zhao told reporters post-match, grinning like someone who’s reached four finals this season alone. His next challenge? A Sunday showdown against Trump, who’s never faced Zhao in a ranking final. Talk about peak drama! 🔥
Snooker fans worldwide are already dubbing this the 'Clash of Generations'—will Zhao’s fearless style outshine Trump’s experience? Tune in Sunday to find out 👀.
