Brutal Honesty from Yue Yunpeng: Hopes Ding Junhui Wins the World Championship, but Zhao Xintong Looks More Solid Against Murphy

On April 26, Zhao Xintong defeated Ding Junhui 13–9 in the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Snooker Championship, advancing to the quarterfinals. Actor Yue Yunpeng shared his thoughts after the match, sparking discussion among fans.

The all-Chinese clash drew significant attention. While Ding showed one of his better performances in recent years, Zhao’s exceptional form—particularly his long potting—proved decisive. Ding’s exit means his long pursuit of a world title continues.

Yue expressed what many fans feel: a deep hope that Ding can one day complete his career by winning the world championship. However, he also acknowledged Zhao’s current edge in form, suggesting Zhao may have a better chance against top players like Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby.

Despite his analysis, Yue admitted feeling conflicted—supporting Ding emotionally while recognizing Zhao’s stronger competitive position.

Zhao will next face Shaun Murphy in the quarterfinals. Murphy has already eliminated two Chinese players, setting up a high-stakes clash as Zhao aims to continue his impressive run.
