Zhao has been brilliant and thoroughly deserves this. I'm sure he will go on to win many more titles.

I know zhao had some luck but I honestly don’t know what Luca could’ve done, nothing was safe on the table and he was almost certain to punish any mistakes.
His performance was so clinical, and that put massive pressure on his opponent.

A bit like Ronnie when he won this against Hendry when he was seventeen.
