NOBODY mentions themselves when referring to the greats in any sport... unless they are arrogant bastards.

I thought a live interview in English with a young Chinese player would go badly wrong; but he's obviously been working on his English as well as the very hard work on his snooker! I have great respect for him.

Yeah we’re not entitled to have every foreign sportsman speak English well as some people seem to believe we are. But great to hear from the young lad. I think a lot of these Chinese kids move here and set up full time in Sheffield don’t they? Liang Wenbo and Xingtong did I believe, fair play to them.

Zhao did great on live TV without an interpreter.

More than "a few years"... You're talking about three top 10/top 8 players. They've still got a decade left in the professional circuit IF they wanted to continue at that level. Even players like Anthony Hamilton shouldn't leave the professional circuit yet as he's still got more to give. However, the older players that SHOULD only be in the seniors are Jimmy White and Stephen Hendry. Great in their day by they are spent forces. They can keep trying but they will achieve nothing against today's competitive field.

I think honestly, the future of Snooker is set. We got the likes of Judd, Kyron, Yan, Jack that can perform to the highest level and they are only going to get better. Then there's Luca and Zhao that have confirmed their capabilities this tournament. We've got a whole generation of players like Ben Mertens, Wu Yi Ze, etc. that are coming through as we speak. Accompanied with this, if the Legends like Ronnie, John and Mark are retiring and go to the Seniors side of the tour, that will also be equally as exciting to watch. Snooker is so buzzing right now.

The commentator is brilliant to keep the conversation going. Nice job 👍

Lovely to hear a real snooker player talk snooker, the old commentators don’t have a clue what the young guys are doing on the table!

Me and my friend watched Zhao playing a match at the Scottish open a couple years ago on the very last table and we were the only two people watching. It’s great to see a lot of people finally getting to see this young man show what he’s capable of, hats off zhao.

I love zhao xintong

This is great 🤗

The way he said if you have McManus you would be unstoppable and Zhao is just thinking wtf lol. But seriously he should get a Davis or Ebdon in his corner and get him to improve shot selection/safety. A lot of the players now don't seek help the way Ronnie did with Reardon its the only way you improve. Its not all about breaks.

Interesting listening to ronnie talks the talk knows his stuff

For me the two super greats of the game are Hendry and Ronnie. They have amassed centuries and 147 breaks unlike any other. I can understand why he became bored at one stage of his career. He was at the pinnacle of what he does. There was no one he couldn't beat. Thus boredom sets in when there's nothing more to prove. Whichever hand he plays, he could still beat the best to the annoyance of his foe. That's how good Ronnie is. Talent shouldn't be suppressed but displayed for the world to see. I'm so appreciative that the world has given us someone so talented like Ronnie. There is no doubt about Zhao's talent. He plays the game to win and not fear of losing. There's a consistent amount of fluidity about him that can only get better as he progresses. Until Zhao can surpass the 776 centuries and the 11 147 breaks Hendry had amassed, the world awaits his rise to super stardom. Some are born great, some achieve greatness. Some have greatness thrust upon them. Could Zhao be 'the one'?

How long before I can purchase the Zhao t-shirt with "I try my best, I can do it!" on please?

好榜样要知道我国选手比赛时电视剧前面有上几亿人支持着，努力争取别让粉丝们失望，加油好同志，

great credit to Eurosports for its all round Snooker coverage , makes the BBC look so old fashioned and dated the sport deserves so much better than the biased BBC that believes the sport is only about 3 events

لماذا لا يوجد ترجمة بالعربية؟؟؟

To be called a legend by the legend is proof enough that xhoa is going to become a major force in snooker,I've been wondering who to follow when Ronnie retires ( most people think Judd )but I'm not a fan of him yes he's exciting but he does not excite me this kid excites me he's been likened to Jimmy and that's all I need to follow him

well done Zhao Xintong,

Esse cara é fera o melhor de todos

Ronnie the GOAT

The man who has the greatest chance to be the next King of Snooker after Ronnie - Zhao Xin Tong.

What we're seeing here is the new future in snooker Ronnie 0 Sullivan sees Xintong a Great Player he went on to win the UK Championship Xintong. The future of Snooker look out for this guy he is something Special believe me in future we will see him as a new world Champion

Come on Luca!

He need you Ronnie I think 🤔 . You’re are his idols 👍

Sullivan saying that..so Zhao is 👍

If Ronnie says you are good and have amazing potential...then you are special.

There has been a lingering stereotype over the years about chinese players, always have bundles of talent but never fulfill their potential. Also the fact many don't interview well (language barrier) and don't get to portray ther personalities off the table. Zhao breaking all the stereotypes, quality player and really likeable - a star for the future.

Yes.. Ronnie is very humble.. But had an aggressive game..

Congratulations Zhao Xingtong hope he wins the final

You are true legend Ronnie ☺️

Ronnies definitely had a drink here !!

Is mcmanus good at mentoring players?

Xintong reminds me of prime Hendry.

Did he say Xingtom is the Federer of Snooker?

Zhao is the best left hander IV ever seen.pure class the lad .all the best to him.

Ronnie is right if zhao can learn safety like higgins or selby then thats defo scary.

จ้าวซินถง แชมป์แน่ๆ

It's very generous of Ronnie to redirect Zhao to Alan Macmanus, who is a great player, a commentator and a philosopher.

The rocket and the Chinese master. Super together 🐅🇬🇧💖💖💖💖
