He may be the reigning title holder, but Zhao Xintong knows he could face some fearsome opponents in the imminent World Snooker Championships – including his compatriot, and childhood hero, Ding Junhui. ⁣ “I'm afraid!” he tells CGTN. “I know Ding, I love Ding,” Remembering his 8th birthday watching Ding become champion, Zhao says “He can still play perfect snooker – so if I face him, I will really need to try to play well!”⁣ ⁣ #Snooker #Ding #Zhao #China⁣
