Zhao Xintong

Zhao at the [[2016 Paul Hunter Classic]] | w = | ci = }} Zhao Xintong (; born 3 April 1997) is a Chinese professional snooker player and the reigning World Snooker Champion. He was the first Asian player to win the World Snooker Championship and the first amateur player to win a ranking event. He was stripped of his professional status in 2023 as the result of a match-fixing investigation, having won two previous ranking event titles as a professional player: the 2021 UK Championship and the 2022 German Masters. He attained his highest professional ranking of world number six in May 2022.

Zhao first turned professional in the 201617 season, aged 19, and made his breakthrough in the 202122 season. In December 2021, he won the UK Championship for his first ranking title and first Triple Crown title, breaking into the top 16 of the snooker world rankings for the first time. He won the German Masters in January 2022 with a 90 over Yan Bingtao, making Zhao the third player—after Steve Davis and Neil Robertson—to win a two-session ranking final without conceding any . In January 2023, he was suspended by the WPBSA and charged with involvement in match-fixing and betting operations on the World Snooker Tour. Following an independent disciplinary tribunal, he was banned from all snooker competitions for 20 months.

After his competitive ban expired in September 2024, Zhao competed on the amateur tour in an attempt to regain professional status. He won four consecutive Q Tour events and finished top of the 202425 Q Tour Europe rankings, earning a place on the professional tour for the 202526 season.}} As an amateur, he qualified for the 2024 UK Championship but was eliminated in the first round. After winning four qualifying matches to reach the main stage of the 2025 World Championship, he progressed to the final where he defeated Mark Williams to win the championship, claiming his second Triple Crown title. Zhao's World Championship victory placed him 11th in the world rankings on his return to the professional tour in June 2025. Provided by Wikipedia
