Zhang beats Zhou to reach World Grand Prix final

Zhao Xintong and Zhang Anda will contest the final of the World Grand Prix on Sunday after winning through the first all-Chinese semi-final line-up in snooker ranking event history.

In the first semi-final, Zhang secured a thrilling 6-5 victory over Zhou Yuelong on the final black at the Kai Tak Arena in Hong Kong.

Zhao then claimed four of the final five frames to beat Xiao Guodong 6-3 and reach a first ranking final since becoming China’s first world champion last May.

The pair will now return on Sunday to contest just the third all-Chinese ranking event final.

“I am very proud to be one of four Chinese semi-finalists – I believe in the future there will be more young Chinese players and it will only get better,” Zhang told the World Snooker Tour website after his nervy win.
