Zhao Xintong now one frame from victory at 9-5

Big chance to wrap it up for Zhao.

Fantastic performance from Zhao. Luca was good as well but it's not his day. Snooker is the real winner here.

Yup, hopefully the end of the incessant moaning from middle aged, now pushing elderly ex-players about snooker having no future stars.

 

A 23 year old and 26 year old playing each other in a major final - if their careers last as until their 40 at least like the last big stars that's the game in good hands til 2034-2037.
