There are still 2 people in the top 8 Chinese army in the 2025 Snooker World Championships online, and Ding Junhui swallowed the biggest defeat

In the 2025 World Snooker Championship, a total of 6 Chinese players reached the top 16, among which only Si Jiahui and Zhao Xintong successfully advanced to the top 8, while "Big Brother" Ding Junhui faced Belgium's Luca Bresel and lost 4:13 in 11 games in a row, missing the third round.

After Ding Junhui scored 141 points in the first game, he sat down to watch the game for most of the time

In this World Championships, a total of 10 Chinese players entered the main event, of which 6 entered the top 16, a record high, and Ding Junhui, the big brother of Chinese snooker, was also one of them, and competed with Belgium's Bresel in the second round to advance. "Xiao Ding" scored 141 points in a single stroke in the first game, setting a record for the highest score in a single stroke in his World Championships career, but the situation on the court immediately turned around, and he spent most of the time sitting in a chair after that.

Ding Junhui had no chance to stage a Jedi counterattack.

Bresel first responded with a score of 121, and the more he fought, he won 11 games in a row and took an 11:1 lead in one fell swoop. Ding Junhui successfully "stopped the bleeding" in the 13th game, and Bresel then won another game with a score of 63 points, and under the best-of-25 system, there was only one game away from promotion.

Si Jiahui's top 8 will shake O'Sullivan

Ding Junhui, who was on the verge of being out, struggled and handed over two single-stroke breaks 100 in succession, barely bringing the event to the third stage. Chinese fans expected Xiao Ding to fight back, but this script did not happen, and only one game was played in the third stage, and Bresel ended the event with a score of 76, resulting in Ding Junhui losing 4:13. Ding Junhui lost by 9 games, which was the biggest defeat in the World Championships of his career, and he also missed the top 8 for 7 consecutive years.

Zhao Xintong's prospects for reaching the top 4 are optimistic

The "Chinese Army" of this World Championships, with Xiao Guodong and Pang Junxu lost to Higgins and O'Sullivan of the "75 Three Heroes" respectively, and Lei Peifan was eliminated by his fellow countryman Zhao Xintong, and only two generals remained. Si Jiahui, who defeated England's Wollaston, will beat O'Sullivan in the top 8, and Zhao Xintong will compete with Chris Wakelin to advance to the top 4.
