At the Snooker Xi’an Masters last 16 match just finished, Ding Junhui beat Lyons 5-1, becoming the first player to reach the quarterfinals.

Ding Junhui displayed his champion quality today, winning five frames with four century breaks, quickly defeating his opponent to move into the quarterfinals. His precise breaks of 83, 141, 101, 129, and 121 left his rival powerless, showing his commanding presence. Chinese snooker still relies on Ding Junhui, and it’s time for the younger players to step up.

The quarterfinal match will begin tomorrow, with Ding Junhui facing Shaun Murphy. This match will be a true test for Ding. If he wins, he will have a real shot at the title. If he loses, it could mean the end for the Chinese players in this tournament. What do you think — can Ding Junhui beat Shaun Murphy?
