This is the result of the WTT table tennis regular challenge singles final. The Chinese team won both the men's and women's singles titles, with the men's singles title being particularly hard-won and incredibly surprising. This is Chen Yuanyu's first regular challenge championship! After the men's singles semi-finals were announced, only Chen Yuanyu was left among the young Chinese players.

The Snooker Women's World Championship has come to an end. In the final match, Bai Yulu defeated the reigning world champion Nutcharut Wongharuthai with a score of 6-5, securing her first-ever world championship trophy and becoming the first Chinese female player to achieve this honor. The final was intense and closely contested, with Bai Yulu leading 3-1 at one point before being overtaken by her opponent with a score of 4-3. At a critical moment, Bai Yulu won two consecutive games to take the lead at 5-4, only for Nutcharut Wongharuthai to level the score at 5-5. In the decisive final game, both players were cautious and made mistakes, each having a chance to win but failing to capitalize. The tension was palpable among the Chinese spectators. With only three colored balls left on the table, Bai Yulu managed to sink the crucial pink ball under pressure, securing the final with a score of 58-46. Congratulations to Bai Yulu for making history as the first Chinese female player to win the Snooker Women's World Championship. The prize money for this championship is astonishing, not £170,000 or even £250,000, but a mere £10,000. However, for female players, winning the Snooker World Championship comes with additional benefits that are quite enviable to other female players. Firstly, Bai Yulu has been granted a two-season professional qualification for the "World Snooker Tour" (WST), allowing her to participate in various ranking events alongside the large contingent of Chinese snooker players. Secondly, Bai Yulu has been invited to participate in the upcoming World Championship qualifiers. Thirdly,…

At the end of 2024, Sun Yingsha, a focal figure in the table tennis world, failed to appear at the championship matches in Germany and France. She also faced a fierce challenge from her teammate Chen Xingtong in the WTT annual finals, ending her run in the first round. This undoubtedly brought unprecedented pressure and challenges to the young national player. Sun Yingsha, the little flower of the table tennis world, shone brightly in the World Cup with Wang Chuqin, showing great chemistry in mixed doubles and full fighting spirit in women's singles, with a promising return to the peak! With the lifting of the mixed team World Cup trophy, Sun Yingsha's world champion title quietly increased to the sixteenth. This trophy is not only a recognition of her efforts but also the best interpretation of her indomitable spirit. In Chengdu, Sun Yingsha not only gained honor but also felt the warmth and support from the fans. During the "National Table Tennis Enters Campus" event, she had a radiant smile on her face, interacting affectionately with the children, sharing the joy and dreams brought by table tennis. During the event, a special figure caught her attention - her mentor Qiu Yike's daughter, Little Pea. Their interaction was warm and interesting. When bidding farewell to Chengdu, Sun Yingsha wrote affectionately on social media: "Once again, I hold the mixed team championship on this hot land, which is the result of the team's joint efforts. The international schedule for 2024 has come to an end, thank you to everyone who accompanied me…

On January 21st, Beijing time, the first day of the 5th group of the 2025 Snooker Championship League concluded. World champions Judd Trump, Neil Robertson, and Stuart Bingham competed alongside other top players such as Jack Jones, Joe O'Connor, Matthew Selt, and Tom Ford. The competition in this group was fierce, resulting in a surprising outcome where 42-year-old Neil Robertson lost nine consecutive games, ending the first day with three straight defeats and currently ranking last. Neil Robertson and Judd Trump are both post-80s superstars who once kept pace with each other. However, over the past few seasons, Neil Robertson's form has significantly declined while Judd Trump has remained strong, pulling ahead of Robertson. This season, although Neil Robertson's form seemed to be improving, his performance has been inconsistent, making it clear that he is struggling to catch up with Trump, as evidenced by his performance in the championship league. On the first day of the fifth group, Judd Trump defeated Tom Ford 3-1, Stuart Bingham 3-1, and then swept Neil Robertson 3-0 in a key match. Finally, facing Jack Jones, the runner-up of the previous World Championship, Trump scored single-stroke points of 70, 112, and 103 to win 3-1. On the first day, Trump not only won all four matches but also made three century breaks, currently leading the group standings. In contrast, Neil Robertson struggled in the group stage, narrowly defeating Matthew Selt 3-2 in his first match. He then lost 0-3 to Tom Ford, 0-3 to Trump, and 0-3 to Joe O'Connor. Apart from losing to Trump,…

Ding Junhui's defeat at the hands of Brecel was like a bucket of cold water on a winter day, making me shiver involuntarily. Back in college, I was a die-hard fan of Ding Junhui, skipping classes to watch his matches with an enthusiasm that still seems incredible to me now. At that time, Ding Junhui was synonymous with Chinese snooker. If anyone dared to say anything bad about him, I would definitely get into an argument. But now, as time passes and heroes grow old, this feeling is somewhat akin to watching cherished old photos turn yellow, leaving a mixed taste in my heart. This loss at the Scottish Open was indeed unexpected. Brecel had hardly ever won against Ding Junhui before, but this time he staged an astonishing comeback. Leading 3:1, the situation turned around, and the taste must have been bitterer than a cup of bitter coffee. Even more surprising was Ding Junhui's reaction after the match. Two Weibo posts directly targeted the organizers, with intense language and even swear words. This is unlike his usual style. You see, Ding Junhui always gives the impression of being calm and reserved. This time, his outburst must have been caused by something. The reports say that Ding Junhui believes there was a problem with the table, which affected his performance. As an outsider, I know nothing about the professional knowledge of snooker tables. But imagine if a painter used a rough canvas or a chef used a blunt knife like a saw, could their work be good? The same principle…

The 2025 India Open badminton tournament has concluded its quarterfinal matches, with the national team participating in eight games but achieving only three victories, losing five to foreign opponents. In men's singles, Wang Hongyang defeated Indian player George 2-0, showcasing excellent technical and tactical skills. He narrowly won the second set in a close battle, keeping alive the hope for the men's singles championship. Anders Antonsen won against fellow world champion Loh Kean Yew with scores of 21-19, 13-21, 21-8. The first set was fiercely contested, with Loh playing well but missing opportunities at the end. Loh performed at a high level in the second set but showed a significant drop in form in the decider, with fatigue contributing to his defeat. Antonsen dominated the final set with a lopsided score. In women's singles, Wang Zhiyi retired due to discomfort, allowing Miyazaki Tomoka to advance. Han Yue lost 0-2 (17-21, 16-21) to Ratchanok Intanon, lacking the momentum and making more mistakes than her previous performances. An Se-young from South Korea easily defeated Yeo Jia Min 21-11, 21-12, overwhelming her opponent with superior skill. In a post-match interview, An expressed her ambition to break the record of ten titles in a single season. Mariska 21-9, 19-21 defeated World Championship winner Sindhu, who recently got married and returned to competition quickly. Sindhu's performance has been average in recent years, and her competitiveness has indeed declined. In men's doubles, Liang Weikang/Wang Chang lost 1-2 (21-12, 20-22, 21-23) to the South Korean pair of Kim Won-ho/Seo Seung-jae. They played smoothly and steadily in the…

On January 19, 2025, the Snooker Masters continued with its matches, and the first finalist was born. World champion Shaun Murphy achieved another feat by defeating the renowned player from the 80s, Mark Allen, with a score of 6-3. In the sixth game, he even scored an impressive 147 points, securing his place in the final against the winner of the match between Trump and Wilson. Shaun Murphy, ranked 7th in the world, is one of the few players in snooker to have won the Grand Slam. Born in 1983, he has won the ranking tournament 12 times, including one each at the World Championship, Masters, and UK Championship. He is also a member of the "Five Tigers of the 80s." Although Murphy's performance has been relatively stable recently, frequently reaching the semi-finals, it has been quite some time since his last championship victory. In the previous match, he defeated Neil Robertson. His opponent, Mark Allen, ranked 4th, is a powerful player born in 1986. Many fans refer to him as the "Sixth Tiger of the 80s," and his recent achievements certainly live up to this title. With 11 ranking tournament victories, as well as titles at the UK Championship and Masters, most players find it hard to catch up with him. Earlier, he easily defeated three-time Masters champion Mark Selby. The match began with Mark Allen taking the lead in the first game after Shaun Murphy failed to make a shot, winning 70-0. In the second game, both players made mistakes, but Mark Allen won again with a score…

According to the latest news from the British Metro on January 18, 2025, four-time world champion Mark Selby is very dissatisfied with the snooker table conditions at Alexandra Palace during his classic match against Allen. Selby expressed in an interview that he believes the condition of the snooker table is terrible and he has not made any excuses for himself. In the quarterfinals of the Masters against Allen, Selby lost 2-6 in a long match and was eliminated in the top eight. When talking about the snooker table in this match, Selby said that it was obvious in the fourth game that the table was tilted to the right. Moreover, Selby also thinks that Allen had excellent luck, which made him feel that some things were destined. After losing the key match, Selby was obviously very dissatisfied with the snooker table. In this classic match, Allen won the victory in three crucial games with long duration and close scores. Compared to the final score, the actual gap between the two players was very close. When talking about this match, Selby said: "The fourth game was the most obvious one. I could clearly feel that the snooker table was completely tilted to the right when I hit two shots. When I tried to play a safe shot with the red ball, I couldn't put it in the pocket because the black ball blocked the line." "When I hit half a ball, it actually became a whole ball because the table was tilted to the right. I was helpless and really felt…
