The live broadcast schedule for the Snooker Masters on CCTV-5 and CCTVsports today (2026.1.12) has been announced, with Zhao Xintong participating. Details are in the picture below.
From the broadcast schedule above, we can see:
At 9 PM tonight, Mark Williams will compete against Mark Allen, with free live coverage on CCTV-5 and CCTVsports.
At 3 AM tomorrow, Zhao Xintong will face Gary Wilson, with free live streaming on CCTVsports.
For these two round-of-16 matches, I personally favor Mark Williams and Zhao Xintong to advance. My prediction is Mark Williams winning 6-3 or 6-4 over Mark Allen, and Zhao Xintong winning 6-2 or 6-3 against Gary Wilson. What do you all think?
