Post-match summary and reflection
This match can be described as a complete domination. Higgins has not suffered such a lopsided defeat in recent years, which is quite frustrating and also confirms Zhao Xintong's exceptional skill, showcasing a dominant level of performance.
Full match statistics are detailed in the image below. Zhao Xintong made eight 50+ breaks and one 100+ break, demonstrating explosive competitiveness. Higgins only managed two 50+ breaks, being completely overwhelmed by Zhao Xintong.
This match might become a turning point in the careers of Higgins and Zhao Xintong. It could lead to a loss of confidence and stability for Higgins, potentially causing a decline in his professional trajectory. Zhao Xintong may now be recognized as the successor to Ronnie O'Sullivan, making opponents feel mentally defeated before even facing him. What do you think?
Additionally, the final between Zhao Xintong and Trump starts at 8 PM tonight, available on MiGu Video and Huya Live. Welcome to watch. Personally, I predict Zhao Xintong will win 10-7 or 10-8, sweeping the three major red envelope tournaments and creating history.
