Tomorrow, the 2023 Wynn Presents Macau Masters will begin with an exhibition match between Ding and Ronnie.
Today, the launch of the 2024 Wynn Hong Kong Masters took place. The event is scheduled for March 2024.






Some quotes emerged on weibo
Jack Lisowski: “I have good friends living in Hong Kong, so it feels like home… Hong Kong is my favorite city. Although I also like Sydney, I prefer Hong Kong. ” He also pointed out that he knew that the Hong Kong Masters held at the Coliseum last year was full of people. “It is the most atmospheric table tennis competition. Table tennis is very popular in Hong Kong. I can’t wait to participate. My goal is to win“.
Ronnie: At yesterday’s press conference, O’Sullivan revealed that he particularly likes to visit Asia, and believes that both the promotion of events and the attitude of fans are better than those in the UK: “The events in China have done a good job in publicity, and you will feel It’s a special game; but games in the UK always feel not very special. I want to participate in the best games …“
Ronnie traveled with his friend Robin Huxley, who often accompanies him at events and has also invited another friend, Pete Cohen. Pete is a mind coach who helped Ronnie during some of the most difficult periods of his career, notably between 2002 and 2004. Pete also supported Ronnie during the 2007 Masters. Pete shared this video on his facebook page, with this comment:
Christmas With The Rocket
, Ronnie O’Sullivan in China
Being in the presence of Ronnie O’Sullivan, also known as “The Rocket,” is truly a privilege. His unmatched skills, precision, and strategic gameplay are a sight to behold. I witnessed firsthand the level of dedication and passion he brings to the game of snooker when I worked with him a few years ago. His humility and down-to-earth nature are truly remarkable, making this experience even more memorable.I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time with Ronnie O’Sullivan at Christmas as this is first during the festive period as my wife passed away earlier this year.
As for now… it’s Merry Christmas to all of you from me !

ffs this blog could use some proofreading. why is Lisowski talking about tabletennis
Because this blog on that occasion cited the automatic translated quotes on Weibo exactly as they were translated. I suggest you ask google why “snooker” has been translated in “table tennis” in all the articles related to this event. See Kalacs very useful and appreciated comments below. In my main post I tried to correct the obvious ones.
Some spend considerable time to try and find content for the readers here, and some others are just here to post negative criticism it seems.
-_- translation problem: HK/cantonese does not use the same word as in mainland China.
Written cantonese (Hong Kong) has been using the word has meaning of “table tennis” in mainland China. (least since 1980’s)
Merry Christmas everyone! ❤️😻
