On December 27th, Beijing time, the 24/25 snooker season has entered a short break. Currently, the Macau Snooker Masters exhibition is underway. In the first two match days, "Rocket" defeated Lisowski and Fu Jiajun to easily win two consecutive victories (it is reported that one victory is worth 50,000 pounds). After the table incident, Ding Junhui's state seems not very ideal, ending his Macau trip with a 1-5 defeat to Xiao Si (he and Xiao Si will continue to play exhibition matches in Hangzhou)! Although the performance of the top player in Macau is not good, Ding Junhui has already brought too many surprises to fans in the past 2024. Next, let's review the seven unforgettable moments left in the past year's season (if there are any omissions, please feel free to add), Bai Yulu's three consecutive victories at the UK Championship and Zhao Xintong's three consecutive championships in the QT series are still fresh in our memory. If Zhao Xintong can maintain such an offensive and defensive state next season, he may even have a chance to challenge for the championship at some point. The seven unforgettable moments of 2024 are as follows: Moment One: Ding Junhui hits 147 at the Masters, becoming the first person in history. Moment Two: Wizard Xiao Si achieves a thousand century breaks. Moment Three: Xiao Guodong reaches the final of the Crown of Crowns, becoming the first Chinese player to do so. Moment Four: Ding Junhui loses due to a ridiculous foul with the tip of his cue. Moment Five: Bai Yulu wins…

On December 24, 2024, the world rankings of snooker experienced significant changes, especially the achievements of Chinese snooker, which can be described as earth-shattering. Four Chinese players—Ding Junhui, Zhang Anda, Si Jiahui, and Xiao Guodong—have successfully entered the top 16 in the world rankings, achieving a historic breakthrough! You didn't hear wrong! Chinese snooker has ushered in an unprecedented rise, with four players simultaneously entering this magical top 16 circle, shining brightly and delighting countless fans. Looking at these achievements, it's almost enough to make a motivational movie. While everyone is still marveling at how strong Chinese table tennis is and how basketball is rising, our snooker players are quietly making their presence felt on the international stage. Historically, it's a groundbreaking big news that so many Chinese snooker players have broken into the top 16! This time, it's not just Ding Junhui carrying the flag behind him, but also three rising stars—Zhang Anda, Si Jiahui, and Xiao Guodong—who are quietly becoming the backbone of Chinese snooker. To say that all this is related to the rapid rise of Chinese snooker would not be an exaggeration. The performance of these four players is really touching. As the spokesperson for Chinese snooker, Ding Junhui naturally needs no further introduction. In his early years, he not only broke China's silence in world snooker with his own strength but also once topped the world, achieving remarkable success. In recent years, although there have been ups and downs in competitions, he is still a banner figure in Chinese snooker. Now, he can stand firmly…

In the third day of the Macau Snooker Masters Invitational, Chinese veteran Fu Jiajun pulled off a major upset by scoring a perfect 147 break and defeating world champion Kyren Wilson with a total score of 5-4. On the same day, seven-time world championship winner Ronnie O'Sullivan easily defeated Si Jiahui 5-2, maintaining his undefeated streak with three consecutive victories since the start of the tournament. Fu Jiajun has won three ranking titles in his career and was once ranked among the top 16. However, after eye surgery, his form significantly declined, compounded by the lack of competition due to the pandemic in recent years. This led to a sharp drop in his world ranking, even losing his professional status. Despite contemplating retirement, Fu Jiajun has been granted a wildcard by the World Snooker Tour for the past two seasons, allowing him to continue participating in professional snooker events and extend his career. After winning the 2024 Snooker World Championship, Kyren Wilson has become the undisputed number one player among the post-90s generation. This season, Wilson won two ranking titles at the Xi'an Grand Prix and the Northern Ireland Open, defeating world number one Judd Trump in both finals, demonstrating his outstanding current form. Currently, Wilson ranks second in both the world rankings and the single-season rankings. Earlier this season at the British Open, Wilson had swept Fu Jiajun 4-0. In their latest encounter, Fu Jiajun successfully avenged his previous defeat. Trailing 2-3 after the first five frames, Fu Jiajun scored an impressive 147 break in the sixth frame. The…

On the evening of December 27th, the third day of the Macau Snooker Performance Match began. The latest battle report shows that O'Sullivan's revenge match set a new record, winning three consecutive games to stop Si Jiahui and fully attacking the match point. If China's post-00s does not rebound from the bottom, the Chinese team will face a three-game losing streak in this event. Last season, O'Sullivan swept five championships in various events but fell into a trough this season, with his best result being only the semi-finals. Transferring to the Macau performance match, the "Fire Master" has been winning continuously, defeating Lisowski 5-4 and turning the tide against Fu Jiajun 5-3. Tonight, he faces Si Jiahui for a rematch. 113 days ago, in the quarter-finals of the Saudi Masters, Ronnie narrowly lost 4-6 to his opponent and is now aiming for revenge. Three Chinese players were invited to participate in the Macau performance match. Ding Junhui suffered a crushing defeat of 1-5 to Trump in his first match, and on the second day, Fu Jiajun lost to O'Sullivan, suffering two consecutive defeats. Si Jiahui made his debut, and it remains to be seen whether he can become the first Chinese player to win, which is worth looking forward to.

In the third round, Si Jiahui took the lead, scoring 32 points after hitting four sets of red and black, but a defensive error occurred. After accurately pocketing…
