On January 22, 2025, the fifth group of the Snooker Championship League concluded with a surprise result. The world number one player, Trump, lost 0-3 to the 80s veteran Matthew Selt, failing to advance to the winners' group, which was somewhat unexpected. Two world champions, Robertson and Bingham, have already been eliminated. The championship league is held twice each season, with the first event being a ranking tournament and the second an invitational. Prior to this, four players had advanced to the winners' group: Hussein Vafi, Si Jiahui, Mark Selby, and Kyren Wilson. The world number one, Trump, competed in the fifth group but lost 0-3 to Matthew Selt in the group final, an unexpected outcome. Additionally, Robertson and Bingham, two other world champions, lost their eligibility to compete. The competition used a round-robin format. Initially, Trump won all four of his matches, but then lost 2-3 to Matthew Selt in the fifth match. Later, he won against Joe O'Connor. During this period, Trump completed several century breaks, maintaining his good form from this season and demonstrating the level expected of the world number one. However, in short-format matches, it's all about on-the-spot performance. Facing the capable Matthew Selt, Trump failed to seize the opportunity. With a record of five wins and one loss in the group stage, Trump advanced to the semi-finals. He then faced Joe O'Connor again, blasting breaks of 107 and 65 points to eliminate O'Connor 3-2. In another match, Matthew Selt defeated Jack Jones 3-1. The two competed for the group championship and a spot in…

The Snooker Masters concluded its fifth day of competition, and upon waking up, the "Five Tigers" from the 80s have become "Three Tigers"! Murphy narrowly missed making the first maximum break of 147 in this event, while Robertson and Selby were eliminated. Tonight, two more tigers will engage in an internal battle, and Ding Junhui faces a life-or-death match, challenging world number one Trump to reach the quarter-finals. In this Masters tournament, the "Five Tigers" from the 80s performed outstandingly, all breaking through the first round to meet in the top 8. After finishing two quarter-final matches, the five tigers became three, with two becoming runners-up. This season, Selby, who topped the England Open to unlock his 23rd ranking title and started the new year by directly qualifying for the winners' group of the Champions League, was beaten by Mark Allen's grinding skills and had no temper, scoring two breaks over 80 but ultimately losing 2-6 after being tied at 1-1. Murphy's battle with Robertson also showed a one-sided dominance. The Magician completed a century break and four breaks over 60 throughout the match, overwhelming the Australian Cannon with a 6-2 victory. In the eighth frame, he made a full effort to achieve a 147 but failed, finishing with 15 reds and blacks for a score of 120 before missing during the clearance stage. Currently, the highest score in this event is still Zhang Anda's 141 points. At 21:00 tonight, Ding Junhui faces a life-or-death battle against Trump for a spot in the quarter-finals. In their past 20 encounters, Ding…

Unbelievable? This year's Snooker Masters has seen a collective explosion from the post-80s players! They've secured six of the quarter-final spots, and it's quite electrifying! Not only that, but our own Ding Junhui has advanced successfully, which is truly exciting news! First, let's talk about this Masters tournament. The prize money is quite enticing, with the champion taking home a whopping £350,000. Wow, just thinking about it gets you excited! However, reigning champion O'Sullivan has withdrawn, creating opportunities for other players. The biggest highlight of this tournament must be the strong performance of the post-80s players; they've even pushed out the "Three Musketeers of '75"! Look at Higgins, who was leading by a lot but ended up being reversed, what a rollercoaster! And Ding Junhui, his match against Ma Shu was so thrilling, ultimately losing by a narrow margin, though regrettable, it also showcased his skills. Next, let's focus on some of the exciting matchups. Karen Wilson versus Zhang Anda, the game process was heart-pounding! Zhang Anda scored an impressive 141 points in one game, the highest score of the tournament, amazing! Unfortunately, he still lost to Wilson with a score of 6-4. Imagine if Zhang Anda had seized the final opportunity, wouldn't the outcome have been vastly different? Another exciting match was between Luca Brecel and Chris Wakelin. These two players haven't faced each other much before, but their head-to-head was filled with excitement. Brecel eventually won 6-3, securing victory. You see, in this game, it's really hard to say who will win or lose! Now, the quarter-finals matchups…

The first round of the 2025 Snooker Masters has concluded, with all eight finalists now determined. The lineup includes six top players from the 80s and two world champions from the 90s, making for a star-studded field that promises exciting matches ahead! China's top player, Ding Junhui, will face the world number one, Judd Trump, in the second round. In this year's Masters, almost all the top players are participating. Ronnie O'Sullivan chose to withdraw, allowing Neil Robertson to step in and receive a lucky draw.

Shaun Murphy defeated Gary Wilson 6-3, while Mark Selby easily eliminated Ali Carter with a 6-1 victory. Judd Trump triumphed over Hawkins with a decisive 6-1 win, and Luca Brecel advanced by defeating Chris Wakelin 6-3. This year, three Chinese players competed in the Masters. However, in the first round, Zhang Anda lost 4-6 to Kyren Wilson, and Si Jiahui was defeated 2-6 by Mark Allen, both experiencing early exits. Ding Junhui lived up to expectations, defeating three-time world champion Mark Williams with a strong 6-5 victory to advance.

Clearly, the second-round matchup between Ding Junhui and Judd Trump is a heavyweight battle. Not long ago, in an exhibition match, Ding Junhui made a remarkable…

The national football team recently announced its latest training squad list, and among the most interesting and exciting aspects of this list is the players' ages. In this training session, the average age of the 32-member squad is around 26.6 years old, with 11 players born after 2000 selected. This age is considered quite good in the world of football, especially when compared to the older image of the national team in the past. Such an age level is enough to make fans look forward to their future performances. For a long time, apart from the issue of poor skill levels, another problem that has been criticized about the national team is their age. The players on the national team are generally older, and even at the age of 30, which is considered an absolute veteran in modern football, it is not considered old within the national team lineup. Therefore, such a team gives people the feeling that besides the current poor state, there is also no hope for the future. When Yang Keqi was coaching, there were hopes from the outside that this coach could bring about rejuvenation to the national team. However, unfortunately, he was not able to achieve the goal of rejuvenating the national team. Last year during the Asian Cup, the average age of the national team reached 30 years old, making them the oldest team in the Asian Cup. The national team did not win any of their three matches in the Asian Cup, setting a record for their worst performance ever, and Yang Keqi…
