The Talking Point
MyiCue's form records show Xintong Zhao without a recorded win since early September, just as the International Championship begins in Nanjing.
The International Championship starts in Nanjing today, and the world number one arrives with an awkward statistic attached: Xintong Zhao has no recorded win on MyiCue's form tracker since early September. Four defeats across four events, a Crucible title defence that ended in the spring, and a ranking that still says he is the best in the world. Something has to give.
