“I’m having fun playing snooker,” says Jack Lisowski, who qualifies for the UK.
Bai Yulu’s journey at this year’s UK Championship came to an end on Wednesday when Jack Lisowski defeated the young Chinese sensation 6-1 in the qualifiers.
At the Mattioli Arena, Lisowski defeated the challenge of the current women’s world champion with six half-century contributions.
If the Englishman wins, his name will be added to the UK Championship draw for the round of 32 on Thursday. The venue stages will start in York on Saturday.
This season, Bai, a rookie on the main tour, was unable to duplicate her incredible performances from the previous rounds.
However, the 21-year-old declared herself a talent to be watched in the future after becoming the first female to win three straight bouts on the professional circuit.
Jack Lisowski, who might compete against Ronnie O’Sullivan or Judd Trump in the main draw, said the World Snooker Tour, “Obviously, it was all about Bai.” “She had an amazing run regardless, but it would have been amazing if she could have qualified.” All I had to do tonight was try to maintain my focus.
Her storyline was undoubtedly at the back of my mind because I am easily distracted even in the best of situations. To make it 1-1, I believe she missed a blue. I’m not sure; I believe I simply made 50s and 60s for every frame.
