Snooker world champion Zhao Xintong recently shared his struggles with a health issue that causes dizziness and affects his vision while playing matches. Despite his victory over Ronnie O’Sullivan and Kyren Wilson in the World Championship, Zhao faced a surprising early exit in the Northern Ireland Open against Jordan Brown. This setback was attributed to his health concerns that began during the Xi’an Grand Prix, but Zhao is gradually improving.

In a recent interview with Metro, Zhao mentioned feeling unwell and experiencing difficulty concentrating due to medication side effects. He described feeling dizzy and having trouble with long pot shots. Despite his current challenges, Zhao remains optimistic about his recovery and aims to return to his top form soon.

Known as ‘The Cyclone’ for his rapid snooker style, Zhao is set to compete in the upcoming International Championship in Nanjing, China. Following his world championship win, Zhao has secured lucrative sponsorship deals, elevating his status in the sport. He expressed his enjoyment of his newfound success and emphasized his commitment to continuous improvement.
