北京时间4月30日凌晨,世界斯诺克WST官网在报道赵心童战况的报道中提到,“如果赵心童进入半决赛,10 万英镑的保底奖金将足以让他进入世界排名的前 64 位,这意味着进入 2025/26 赛季后,这位 28 岁的球员将保留本赛季获得的排名积分。”(In fact if he reaches the last four, the guaranteed prize money of £100,000 will be enough to lift him into the top 64 of the Johnstone's Paint World Rankings which means that going into 2025/26 the 28-year-old will retain the ranking points he has earned this season.)
虽然,世界斯诺克没有正式单独官宣,但这篇报道所述,基本就等于官宣了。
现在世锦赛八强战,赵心童两节比赛12-4领先韦克林,手握大把赛点,距离半决赛仅差一局胜利。
