[@mikengo9306]

Zhao's every shot is confident. A rising star and the trophy awaits him

[@richarddarlington1139]

No doubt about it, the kid can play. Thank you, Cesar for another great video.

Ronnie is zhao's idol.The young generation of outstanding players has a bright future!

Zhao is the new kid on the block , shame it's not the best of 19 , You can see Ronnie's full admiration !

[@tsechumanja4903]

It was great to watch him get Ronnie under pressure. But it was sad to watch how Luca defeated him. But thn Luca ended up winning the trophy. This tournament was great to watch overall. Watched it many times. Thanks to Ceaser.

That young Chinese player got skills! Just a bit more excited n emotional but that’s fine I guess! he’s 19! n 2 centuries to O’Sullivan! Great 👍🏻

He's now guilty of match fixing and cannot play professionally until at least 2025. Pity.

[@uhegbu]

As this Chinese player has just been crowned UK champion in a tournament full of surprises (Sunday 5th December to be precise and commiserations to Belgium's Luca Brecel in Sunday night's final), this was Zhao in the 2016 English Open and nearly gave Ronnie a fright. A year later, Sunny Akani nearly did in a UK Championship match. Zhao's UK win on Sunday ensured that the last three titles have gone abroad. Ronnie O'Sullivan remains the last player from the Home Nations to win the UK title (2018).

Zhao Xintong was giving flashback of young ROCKET.

[@3niknicholson]

I've seen this a few times already: still lovely to watch for the quality of Xintong's cueing and the look of pleased amusement on Ronnie's face as he sees a young natural talent effortlessly carving them up as he, Ronnie, himself did as a youngster.

[@hafizsyed7304]

What a match… such a pleasure that Zhao was… confident and controlled player… what an opening game and then some excellent precision shots… people who play the game know,that this much control is something extraordinary….not easy

[@Santu2409]

Very good editing !

[@poisonousguy9723]

Great start...awesome hats up 👍👍👍

[@Zebness990]

Zhao Xintong could've played even better against any other player, but it wouldn't have had a similar impact as it did in this match against Ronnie O'Sullivan. That's incredible for young Zhao, but it's a testament to Ronnie's brilliance and the sheer impact that he's made on the game as a whole. The game-changing effect that a man can have on the game only once in a generation, a century or even in the entire history of the game, like Tiger Woods had on Golf, or Michael Schumacher on F1, Michael Jordan on basketball, Muhammad Ali on boxing and so on. The greatest of the greats.

[@AliHassan-fb8oo]

What a great video. I haven't seen any video with those little snippets at the bottom telling you what exactly is happening there. I never understood that free ball rule but today. I have never this much enjoyed watching a snooker video. Nice one dude!!!

My god this young player can hang with the best. I heard Stephen Hendry said he now works as a coach in China. Perhaps these players are the results of his handy work. I can see some of his similar style in some young Chinese players.

[@nimeshpatel4572]

This was a surreal match to watch, at a blink it was like watching 2 Ronnie's. Zhao doesn't #### around when he plays, he plays with purpose and power, great cue action as well. Like Ronnie he also plays by the sword and with vulnerability, of which makes him very watchable too. Of course since then he's shown his class with 2 great tournament wins and has done quite a few demolition jobs. If anybody wondered where the next Ronnie was going to emerge from - this kid is it.

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Raising his hand to the audience in the distant, cheaper seats. And a great word - among some strange ones from the commentator - about the "composure" (a great word) -of both players. It means composed and also compounded. It's not "relaxation". It's what stirs them both up. J

[@chrisnicholls391]

and nearly 6 years later he finally won something in the only final he has ever played in while being a pro for nearly 6 YEARS, still a long way from being touted as 'the next great player'

[@brianbetz7030]

Well, with his talent he has certainly taken awhile. The final today will give a pretty good indicator if he has "arrived".

[@johnmccaughey2722]

The days of winning majors at a young age are gone imo. O sullivan won the uk when he was 17 and hendry won the worlds at 21 which is unlikely to happen these days due to the depth of talent that young players are up against. Guys like xintong will start to dominate around the age of 26/27. The class of 92 still being around is also making it tough for these guys as they can still play to a high standard and knock the young players out of the early rounds of tournaments.

[@KaMal-fp5ww]

The way zhao control the cue ball look similar with ronnie gameplay. The different among them is just which hand they use to play. But ronnie is rare because he can play both hand. 😆
