Zhao Xintong Targets £100k Bonus in Thrilling Clash with Judd Trump Following Historic World Championship Victory
Zhao Xintong has the chance to secure a £100,000 cash bonus as he prepares for a showdown with Judd Trump, after his historic victory at the World Snooker Championship earlier this month. Zhao made history by becoming the first Asian player to win the prestigious Crucible title, defeating Mark Williams in the final. His triumph not only earned him the coveted trophy but also a generous £500,000 in prize money.
However, Zhao’s financial rewards don’t stop there. Judd Trump, fresh off making his 100th century break of the season during a second-round victory over Shaun Murphy, also pocketed a hefty £100,000. This bonus was up for grabs for any player who could hit the remarkable milestone of 100 century breaks in a single season.
Now, with the spotlight on both players, Zhao looks to capitalize on his momentum from the World Championship. His recent form suggests he could be a serious contender for the £100,000 bonus, setting the stage for an exciting clash with Trump. As the 2025/26 campaign unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Zhao can challenge Trump’s impressive century record and join him in collecting a massive financial reward.
