Who's Hot to Watch at the 2025 Snooker World Championship?
Everybody's giddy about Zhao Xintong, the stacked Chinese talent who's making waves with his electrifying performances after serving a 20-month ban. As an amateur, he had to prove himself mighty from the get-go, churning out an impressive string of century breaks in each match he played.
David Gilbert, a semi-finalist from the last year's championship, is another name to remember. Although he's had a relatively quiet season, Gilbert proved he's a force to be reckoned with during the qualification. He eased through his opponents with style and panache.
Last but definitely not least, Joe O'Connor, a 29-year-old hopeful, is a name you should jot down for the future. Known for his promise but not yet fully realized potential, O'Connor displayed his skills by eliminating the young talent Iulian Boiko and strong contender Jackson Page in the qualifiers. Remember his name—this kid's going places!
