Monzanator 3,593 Posted June 6, 2023 #62 Share Posted June 6, 2023 The Chinese corruption scandal appears to be settled... Liang Wenbo and Li Hang banned for life in professional snooker. Yan Bingtao banned for 5 years (until 2027) and Zhao Xintong banned until Septemer 1st, 2024. https://www.bbc.com/sport/snooker/65641122 Pretty much in between the two other high-profile cases from recent memory (Quinten Hann banned for 8 years, never came back & Stephen Lee currently banned for 12 years and I doubt he comes back given his age).

Monzanator 3,593 Posted November 12, 2023 #64 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Zhang Anda won the International Championship 10-6 over Tom Ford in the final. He also potted the maximum break in the final. He came in from qualifying and it seems like 2023/24 shapes up to be his breakout season after he reached the English final few weeks ago (where he narrowly lost to Judd Trump 7-9). As a result he advances to Top 16 of the rankings and won't have to bother playing qualifying for a while in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
