In the early hours of February 23, 28-year-old Chinese snooker star Zhao Xintong claimed the Players Championship title, defeating 50-year-old legend John Higgins 10-7 after 17 gripping frames—his second title in just 15 days!

Zhao edged Mark Allen 6-5 in the semifinals. The final was tightly contested at 6-6, but Zhao surged late, winning three consecutive frames with breaks of 104, 126, and 92, sealing a 10-7 victory. Remarkably, Zhao has now won all six finals he has reached—a flawless 100% record.

This marks Zhao’s fifth ranking event title and his third of the season (Riyadh Masters, World Grand Prix, Players Championship), earning £160,000 (~1.49 million RMB). His form is unstoppable.
