I think there’s emotion and personality there but he’s just overwhelmed and not especially fluent in English.

They should have got a translator out because he isnt particularly fluent in English and unable to express himself properly.
 
Yan Bingtao is another Chinese player very capable of being world champ but he got a more lengthy ban, I thought he had a better all around game than Zhao Xintong but not quite the scoring power

Yeah what a waste. He will be eligible to play in 2028.

He was the one that was supposed to take the mantle from a wavering Ding but then he got caught up in this nonsense. I'd like to see Si push on given he was one of the few not involved and I still feel for him a bit with his capitulation in the SF against Brecel but he seems a very middle of the pack type player who rides his luck at times. Xintong looks like the real deal though.
 
Thoroughly enjoyed watching Zhao properly for the first time. Very functional but highly skilled and also graceful. And personality wise, I'd rather watch him than Selby or Higgins who just suck the joy out of any room they're in, despite being great snookers players.
