Last night in London, at Alexandra Palace, 22-year-old sensation Wu Yize pulled off a stunning 6-0 whitewash against Chinese compatriot Xiao Guodong in their all-Chinese quarterfinal at the 2026 Masters 🎱🔥. Making his debut at the prestigious snooker showdown, Wu delivered a century break of 112 to seize control early, then followed up with runs of 93 and 60 to race to a 4-0 lead by mid-session.
Despite Xiao's experience, the 36-year-old couldn't find his rhythm, leaving open tables that Wu capitalized on with clinical precision. An 84-run sealed the fifth frame, and a superb 97 in the sixth wrapped up the perfect afternoon.
Next up for Wu is a semifinal clash against Kyren Wilson, who narrowly edged out Neil Robertson. Could we be witnessing the rise of a new snooker superstar? 🌟
From Mumbai's local pool halls to Manila's street snooker spots, young cue sports fans are buzzing, sharing Wu's highlights on TikTok and Reels 🎥✨.
