Wu Yize Cruises to Dominant Victory Over Xiao Guodong at Masters
Chinese teenager Wu Yize made a resounding statement in the world of professional snooker, annihilating fellow countryman Xiao Guodong 6-0 in the first round of the Masters tournament. The rout was so one-sided that it left little doubt about Wu's superiority.
The 18-year-old phenom came out firing on all cylinders, with impressive breaks of 112, 93, and 60 propelling him to a commanding 4-0 lead at the mid-session break. Meanwhile, Xiao Guodong struggled to find his footing, succumbing to mistakes and poor safety play that allowed Wu to seize control.
A crucial turning point in the match came when Xiao left an easy blue to the middle of the table open to Wu, which he promptly potted to take the fifth frame. From there on, it was only a matter of time before Wu rounded off the victory with a 97-break, capping off a dominant display that earned him his place in the semi-finals.
"I just told myself to enjoy every moment of this match and give my best," Wu said in the post-match interview, reflecting on his performance. For the young Chinese player, it was indeed a dream come true, a testament to his hard work and dedication to the sport.
As he prepares to face Neil Robertson or Kyren Wilson in the quarter-finals, Wu will be confident that he has what it takes to succeed at the highest level. With this performance, he's left few doubts about his potential for greatness in the world of snooker.

! i mean, we all know he's been makin moves in the sport, but annihilatin' a top-tier player like that? that's just crazy talk 
. his game plan was spot on, and those breaks were insane!!! 112, 93, and 60? what more can u ask for? 
anywayz, gotta say i'm hyped to see where this young talent takes us in the next few matches 
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it 
. You can't control the outcome, but you can control your attitude towards it 
. Now let's see if he can keep this momentum going in the semi-finals 
! i mean 6-0 is crazy anyone can see he was on another level 
. and that crucial blue shot to himself was the nail in the coffin for xiao. i'm loving wu's confidence too 'enjoy every moment' is such a vibe 
can't wait to see what he does next, semi-finals are calling 
. The way he played was so smooth and calculated, it was like watching a master at work 
. I mean, the breaks were insane, especially that last one where he took the frame with the 97 
. Can't wait to see how far this kid takes it 
. Can't even imagine how demotivating it must be to get thrashed like that. Xiao Guodong didn't stand a chance 
and Wu just seemed to cruise through 
. No respect for the sport at all... I mean, what's the fun in watching one player dominate so thoroughly? 
. i'm loving how confident he seems after this win, "enjoy every moment" really resonates with me too 
. i think the only thing holding him back now is the mental toughness to take on the top players like robertson and wilson... can he do it? 
i mean who else can say they dominated an opponent 6-0 
it's clear he's got the skills and mentality for a champion 
he's got some serious skills 
and it's awesome to see him getting the recognition he deserves 
Wu Yize is like the new kid on the block and he's already making waves with that 18 yr old phenom vibe reminds me of young Stephen Hendry back in the 90s, you know how that story played out... Wu needs to keep it up though, no need for him to get complacent like I always say 
. I'm so hyped to see what he'll do next 
those breaks were incredible! anyone know what his strategy is going into the quarters?
