Live now! Snooker China Championship schedule: Zhao Xintong vs. Wu Yize, who will advance to the final?

On November 7th, Beijing time, the semifinals of the Snooker China Championship will start today. As per the updated schedule, two semifinal clashes will happen, deciding the final matchups: Higgins facing Maguire, and Wu Yize battling Zhao Xintong. The intense derby between Zhao and Wu is set to begin at 14:00!

Last season, Zhao Xintong made history by winning the World Championship as an amateur, breaking new ground and entering the world top sixteen. However, this season, Zhao’s form has dipped, with few notable results. In this China Championship, Zhao has regained excellent form, overcoming threats with a 6-5 win over Lei Peifan and coming back from 1-3 down to eliminate defensive master Selby in the previous round. Clearly, Zhao has found his World Championship touch again, temporarily rising to tenth in the world rankings!

Wu Yize is also a rising Chinese star, with his best achievement being a ranking event runner-up. In this tournament, he has delivered unstoppable performances, including consecutive 6-0 bursts, a stunning 6-4 comeback to knock out Trump, and a dominant victory over Hawkins to reach the semifinals. His temporary world ranking has climbed to 17, just on the verge of breaking into the top sixteen!

Today, the two will clash fiercely for a spot in the final. Since it’s a derby, no matter who wins, a place in the final is secured for the Chinese team. Only the brave prevail in such a fierce encounter. The battle is about to begin—let’s look forward to it and cheer them on!
