6 consecutive wins! Zhao Xintong beat Robertson 6-0 at the Shanghai Masters snooker to reach the semifinals, while Wu Yize is locked in a tough battle.

On July 29, Beijing time, the Shanghai Masters snooker quarterfinals were in full swing. A high-profile match just ended, featuring Chinese player Zhao Xintong against the post-80s powerhouse and Grand Slam champion Robertson. Zhao Xintong was on fire, dominating with a 6-0 victory to roar into the semifinals. It's fair to say Zhao Xintong was too ruthless, executing a swift 6-0 whitewash that made Robertson miserable.

Zhao Xintong is ranked third in the world. As a renowned post-90s player, he is gradually fulfilling his talent and is at the peak of his career, very strong. In this tournament, he had a first-round bye directly to the round of 16, and in the round of 16, he faced a peak showdown with Chinese snooker pioneer Ding Junhui. Zhao Xintong was unstoppable, quickly taking a 5-0 lead, and then easily crushed Ding Junhui 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals. Robertson, ranked second in the world, has a brilliant career with many ranking titles and is a Grand Slam champion. He also had a first-round bye to the round of 16, and in the round of 16, he staged a dramatic comeback. Trailing 2-5, he narrowly escaped by winning four consecutive frames to reverse and beat Xiao Guodong 6-5, which was very inspiring.


Thus, Zhao Xintong and Robertson fought for a semifinal spot, which was full of excitement. However, the match turned into a one-sided affair. Zhao Xintong continued his hot streak, with near-perfect accuracy that left Robertson helpless. He blasted two centuries and three 50+ breaks, winning six straight frames to sweep Robertson 6-0, advancing to the semifinals without breaking a sweat. It must be said that Zhao Xintong was truly brutal, not only winning every frame but also making Robertson's total score over six frames lower than Zhao's score in a single frame.

Next, Zhao Xintong will face Kyren Wilson for a place in the final. This is the second consecutive year the two have met in the semifinals, and it's a revenge match. Last year, Zhao Xintong lost to Kyren Wilson, so this time he is determined to get his revenge. It's also a peak showdown between the two strongest post-90s players, set to shake up the snooker world!

Meanwhile, another Chinese player, the post-00s star Wu Yize, is currently in a semifinal battle with a Grand Slam champion. The two are locked in a seesaw contest, tied at 3-3 after six frames. It's unclear who will win, and it's very likely to go to a deciding frame. Let's wait and see!
