If Bingtao wants to dominate the game and become a special player he has to win tournaments now. At 17. Not in three ,four or five years. If he's good enough he can do it now.


The greats of the past have all started winning early, think of Hendry, O'Sullivan, Williams, Higgins, Ding, they had all won ranking tournaments at age 20 or under. Yan is not even yet the age Ronnie was when he won his first ranker. Hope he does it.

I For one think its great having some young players getting through to the business end of tournaments that's the future of the sport not Ronnie O'Sullivan.


Totally agree


Wild does, occasionally, talk sense.

A MJW Bingtao final would be great but also quite tough to watch for me. On the one side I'd love to see Williams winning another ranker (might be his last ever) but on the other side you have the future of Snooker.

Haotian or Bingtao to join the list!


And if Bingtao wins the title he'll be the youngest ever ranking event winner, so a lot to play for.

I like the way Bingtao play the game, but I hope that doesn't happen. I want Ronnie to keep this record.
Plus Mark deserves another ranker.
Bingtao is very young, ha has plenty of time to win trophies.
