In the recently concluded semi-finals of the Snooker Shanghai Masters, Zhao Xintong was eliminated by Wilson with a score of 5-10, resulting in a final match between Wilson and Carter.

In the first phase, Zhao Xintong had a 5-4 lead over Wilson. As the evening match progressed, Zhao experienced a harsh six-frame defeat by Wilson.

In today's matches, particularly in the evening, Zhao Xintong faced many problems. His long-range shots were inaccurate, he lost the cue ball, his defense was lacking, and his snookers were poorly executed. Overall, his performance today did not reflect Zhao Xintong's potential. The Ding Junhui law remains unbroken—whenever he defeats Ding Junhui, he faces elimination in the next match.

The final will be Wilson vs. Carter, played in a best of 21 frames format, starting at 2 PM tomorrow and divided into two phases.
