The snooker championship arena has been full of ups and downs, with unexpected twists and turns. Who would have thought that after fierce competition, the final four would emerge with such an exciting result! Shortly after the group stage concluded, Mark Allen secured his place in the semi-finals with a 6-4 victory, becoming the first player to advance. The remaining three semi-final spots are still undecided, with the matchups between Xiao Guodong, O'Sullivan, Selby, and Murphy capturing everyone's attention. Almost every match can be described as heart-stopping, with players giving it their all like desperate soldiers. Speaking of the group stage performance, Mark Allen was undoubtedly the standout player. He started off very strong, using consecutive breaks of over 50 in the first game to leave his opponents breathless. Especially in the third game, he exploded with astonishing counterattacking power, scoring a single break of 102 points to complete a comeback from a 0-22 deficit! This strong performance by Mark Allen in the match was also commendable. Facing Brazilian player Igor Figueiredo, he was once chased down in score but ultimately won 4-2, easily advancing to the group final. Jack Jones' performance should not be overlooked either. In the match against Gary Wilson, Jones played brilliantly, especially with his century break (106 points) in the second game, which completely eliminated Wilson's ability to fight back and firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. Even though Wilson later tried to retaliate with a 120-point shot, Jones had already locked in the initiative and advanced with a 4-2 victory. In the group…

The Chinese snooker competition is a major event that everyone pays attention to. At the competition site in Liaoning Province, the atmosphere was as festive as the Spring Festival, with the audience unable to sit still, all staring at the table, hoping for good results from our players. However, the performance in this match left us with mixed feelings, both joy and disappointment. This time, our Chinese team played a total of four matches, resulting in 2 wins and 2 losses. We wiped out the Scottish team's players, which was really exciting! But what was surprising was that both Ding Junhui and Barry Hawkins were eliminated. Speaking of Ding Junhui, everyone is very familiar with him. He is a legendary figure in our hearts. Everyone hopes he can win first place every time he competes. This time he played against Luca Brecel, and he has always been undefeated in previous encounters, but this time it was quite funny. Ding Junhui started off in poor form, somewhat passive, feeling a bit off. But fortunately, he quickly adjusted, and after a few rounds, he was really impressive, once leading 3-1. The audience began to cheer, thinking "this is stable!" But later, the situation became unfavorable. Brecel is not to be underestimated; he gradually regained his form and erased Ding Junhui's advantage bit by bit. In the end, Ding Junhui lost 3-4, which was really heartbreaking. This match not only marked his farewell to the event but also his missed opportunity for the championship dream, which is truly regrettable. Next up was Xiao…

The Snooker Masters tournament begins today at 9 PM Beijing time.

This year's Masters sees three Chinese players participating: Ding Junhui, Si Jiahui, and Zhang Anda. Due to the withdrawal of Ronnie O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson, who was ranked 17th at the end of last year's UK Championship, has been lucky enough to be selected as a substitute. However, China's Xiao Guodong, who was ranked 18th at the time, did not qualify for the competition. The opening match of this year's Masters will see Neil Robertson, replacing O'Sullivan, face Higgins. Although Robertson has fallen out of the top sixteen, the Wizard is advanced in years and lacking in energy, so whether he can defeat Robertson remains uncertain. The second match will take place at 3 AM Beijing time on the 13th, with the opponents being Magician Murphy and taxi driver Gary Wilson. Ding Junhui Chinese player Ding Junhui's first match will begin at 9 PM on the 13th, against the left-handed Mark Williams.

"Take this, you might need it." When 49-year-old snooker legend Mark Williams stepped off the plane, the sight of the organizers handing him a portable oxygen device was touching. The 2025 Snooker Lhasa Exhibition Match is not only a contest of ball skills but also a battle against the natural environment. Lhasa, a city with an average altitude of 3650 meters, welcomed its first world-class snooker event. For players accustomed to playing at sea level, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge. "I never thought I would play at such a height," Mark Williams joked in a pre-match interview, "it reminds me of my first mountain climbing experience." However, "Uncle Ma" proved with his strength that age and altitude are not factors hindering his performance. In the first match on the evening of January 5th, he defeated Wujinduoji with a clean 5-0 victory. Although he had to rely on oxygen equipment during breaks, the veteran's professionalism and adaptability won the applause of all the spectators present. "Seeing Mark in such condition has inspired us all," commented one of the participating players. Indeed, when you see a player nearly half a century old still maintaining a high level of performance in such extreme conditions, it can't help but be admired. The upcoming schedule is even more thrilling.

Snooker has been quite lively recently, and our Chinese players have really made a splash at the beginning of the new year. Whether it's veterans or newcomers, they've all made quite a stir on the court, which makes us fans both nervous and excited. Xiao Guodong's game was really nerve-wracking. He was压制 by Mark Williams at the start, and the score quickly reached one to three. This kind of situation would have panicked any other player, but Xiao Guodong managed to steady his composure and slowly found his rhythm again. Once he regained his form, the next few games were played with vigor, winning four consecutive games and turning the score around. This kind of rollercoaster match is enough to make your heart race. The most incredible moment came in the eighth game when Xiao Guodong scored a perfect 147, the first maximum break of the year, and even more so under such critical circumstances. This performance left everyone speechless. This perfect break not only won him the victory but also earned him a bonus of 147,000 yuan. That's quite a hefty New Year's red envelope, and I'm sure Xiao Guodong himself didn't expect such a big surprise. Speaking of Ding Junhui's game, it was truly eventful. Facing world number one Judd Trump, he fell into a one to four deficit at the start, which is tough for anyone. But Ding Junhui's years of experience weren't for nothing. In this critical moment, he relied on his tenacity to chase points one by one, eventually catching up to five to four.…
