Chinese cueman in Crucible control
ZHAO XINTONG is seven frames away from making snooker history after dominating day one of the World Championship final at the Crucible Theatre.
The ‘Chinese Cyclone’ (28), has the weight of a nation’s expectations on his shoulders as he bids to become the country’s first world champion.
But Zhao handled the pressure of a maiden Sheffield showpiece as he opened up a healthy 11-6 lead over all-time great Mark Williams.
Former UK champion Zhao would become the first amateur to conquer the Crucible.
The world No9 was banned for betting breaches two years ago, and would also be the first qualifier to lift the title since Shaun Murphy 20 years ago.
