WORLD GRAND PRIX 2021 - MARTIN GOULD KNOCKS TOP SEED AND UK CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER ZHAO XINTONG OUT IN FIRST ROUND
Just eight days on from Zhao Xintong's maiden major title at the UK Championship, the Chinese star was well beaten 4-2 as Martin Gould took the final three frames. Zhao had looked to be finding his flow after making a lively 101 to take a 2-1 lead, but otherwise made errors throughout an at times scruffy contest, allowing the Englishman to take advantage and reach the last-16. :
