๐ For the first time in snooker history, the top two positions on the world professional rankings are occupied by players from China.

Wu Yize defeats Yuan Sijun, 10-5, in an all-Chinese final to win the 2026 Shenzhen Open title.
It is Wu's third ranking crown, with all three having come within the last 12 months.
Congratulations, Yize!
The only player left in the quarter-finals of the Shenzhen Open without a ranking title is Yuan Sijun.
At the last Chinese event, the Wuhan Open, Chang Bingyu was the only player at the quarter-finals without a ranking title.
Will history repeat?

Steady, I guess.
๐ฎ How about this for scoring between Xu Si and Wu Yize in the opening mini-session of their last 32 match at the Shenzhen Open?
Four centuries in four frames!
