Yan s steely rise forged by sacrifice and setbacks China Daily Global | Updated: 2021-01-25 09:24 Share CLOSE Yan Bingtao poses with his girlfriend, Zhang Yifan, after winning the Masters on Jan 18. XINHUA
As Yan Bingtao became snooker s youngest Masters champion since Ronnie O Sullivan in 1995, British commentators declared: A star is born!
Having trailed 3-5 and 5-7 in the final, the 20-year-old Chinese showed nerves of steel to battle back and beat Scottish great John Higgins in the Jan 18 final to win the prestigious event, widely considered the sport s second-biggest tournament behind the world championship.
Yan also accounted for Neil Robertson, Stephen Maguire and 2020 champ Stuart Bingham en route to becoming the first debutant to win the tournament since Mark Selby in 2008, and the second Asian winner of the event after compatriot Ding Junhui lifted the title in 2011.
THE world of snooker is hailing a new Chinese superstar after Yan Bingtao’s victory in the Masters last weekend.
The 20-year-old defeated John Higgins 10-8 in the final in Milton Keynes to become the tournament’s youngest winner since Ronnie O’Sullivan, who overcame Higgins in the 1995 final when both were just 19 years old.
Though China has long been tipped to produce a snooker world champion, it is yet to do so but many are now backing Yan for such success.
The trail for Chinese players has been blazed by Ding Junhui. The 33-year-old has won 14 ranking events and in 2016 became the first Chinese player to reach a World Championship final, losing 18-14 to Mark Selby.
