Zhao Xintong and Mark Williams produced statement performances this weekend, and Jimmy White and Allan McManus feel they could have a major say at the World Championship.

Ad/> Eurosport pundit White was deeply impressed with Zhao and said the rest of the draw fears the 25-year-old.
Zhao Xintong marked his first win at the Crucible in comical fashion as he opted to finish off the 12th and final frame by attempting to sink the black, despite the pink still being in play. Not that it mattered, as he had all but wrapped up the first-round tie beating Jamie Clarke 10-2, but much to the surprise of Eurosport commentators Joe Johnson and Dave Hendon, instead of trying to pot the pink, Zhao chose to go straight for the black in the middle left pocket.
Zhao Xintong beat Jamie Clarke 10-2 at the Crucible on Sunday morning in the first round of the snooker World Championship. The 25-year-old did most of the hard work on Saturday morning, where he established a convincing 7-2 lead over Clarke, inclusive of two centuries and five 70 plus breaks in total, to put one foot into the next round. He finished the job off a day later in excellent style, blowing his opponent away in the first three frames without reply to end the tie early.
Mark Selby showed glimpses of his best to lead Jamie Jones 6-3 following the afternoon session of their World Snooker Championship first-round encounter at the Crucible. Defending champion Selby fell behind after a rusty start but, once he found his rhythm, simply had too much for 34-year-old Jones who missed a massive chance to level the score at 3-3, but now faces an uphill battle in the evening session on Saturday. Ad/> Underdog Jones put together a break of 24 in the first frame but could go no further after failing to split the pack.
