Hey there, snooker fans! 🎱 Guess what? China’s Xiao Guodong has just zoomed into the last 16 of the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield, England! 🌟
On Sunday, Xiao played against England’s Matthew Selt and won 10-4. That’s a big win! 🌟
In the first part of the game, called the first session, Xiao took the lead with a score of 7-2. He made two centuries (that’s when a player scores over 100 points in one turn!), and three more big breaks over 50 points. Amazing, right? 😮
When the second session started, Matthew Selt tried hard and won two more frames (that’s like rounds in snooker). But Xiao didn’t let that stop him. He won the next three frames one after another to secure his victory! 🏆
Now, Xiao will face either John Higgins from Scotland, who is a four-time world champion, or Joe O’Connor from England. It’s going to be an exciting match! 🎉
Meanwhile, another Chinese player, Zhao Xintong, is also doing great! After the first session, he is leading 7-2 against Jak Jones from Wales, who was last year’s runner-up. If Zhao wins, he will play against Lei Peifan, which means two Chinese players will compete in the next round! How cool is that? 🇨🇳
Also, Fan Zhengyi from China is playing against Mark Allen from Northern Ireland, who is ranked No. 8 in the world. Fan is just one point behind with a score of 5-4 after the first session. Let’s cheer for him! 🙌
It’s an exciting time for Chinese snooker players at the World Championship. Who knows what will happen next? Stay tuned to find out! 📺
