In an electrifying match, the Chinese mainland's top snooker talent, Ding Junhui, marked 20 years in the sport with a stunning quarterfinal victory over reigning world champion Kyren Wilson in the WST Tour Championship.
This monumental win is a tribute to Ding's journey that started at the 2005 China Open, where he shocked the snooker world by defeating Stephen Hendry to claim his first ranking title. Since then, Ding has racked up an impressive 15 ranking titles, firmly establishing himself as Asia's most accomplished snooker sensation.
Throughout the match, Ding dazzled his fans with a series of powerful breaks—123, 73, 76, 59, and 80—which earned him a commanding 7-1 advantage after the first session. Even when Wilson fought back to grab a couple of frames, Ding's cool head and exceptional skill kept the momentum on his side. A dramatic moment came in the 12th frame before Ding ultimately sealed the victory with a decisive break in the 15th frame, finishing the match at 10-5.
Now, the world number nine is gearing up for a thrilling showdown with four-time world champion Mark Selby in the semifinals. For snooker fans and young sports enthusiasts, Ding's performance is a powerful reminder that passion and persistence always pay off! 🔥🎱
