Snooker champion Steve Davis
STEVE DAVIS believes China is ready to rule the baize for years.
The six-time world champion eased through his wild-card round at the Shanghai Masters 5-1 against teenager Zhu Yinghui yesterday.
But Marco Fu lost 5-4 to Lu Haotian, 14, and Davis said: "I can't see any conclusion other than that China becomes the strongest snooker nation in the world."
