① 🎱 Snooker World Championship: Chinese 22‑year‑old Wu Yize defeats four‑time champion Selby 13‑11 to reach first quarter‑final
LONDON – In a huge upset during the last 16 of the 2026 Snooker World Championship in the early hours of April 28 (Beijing time), China’s 22‑year‑old Wu Yize fought back to beat four‑time world champion Mark Selby 13‑11, reaching the quarter‑finals for the first time in his career.
Wu had lost all six of their previous meetings, but showed remarkable composure beyond his years. He led 9‑7 after the second session. Selby mounted a fierce comeback in the third session, cutting the deficit to 11‑12, but Wu held his nerve and cleared the table to win the crucial 24th frame, breaking his losing streak against the Englishman and advancing to the last eight.
After the match, Selby was gracious in defeat, praising the young Chinese player: “I really like this kid. He’s a future world champion. Maybe this year. If not this year, I’m sure he will win the World Championship in his career, because he’s that good.” In the quarter‑finals, Wu Yize will face Iran’s Hossein Vafaei, who earlier knocked out world No.1 Judd Trump.
