WLBS Paul Hunter Ladies Classic: Ng On Yee wird Champion
Nicht nur wegen der 10.000 € Gesamtpreisgeld gelten die Paul Hunter Ladies Classic als Meilenstein im Ladies Snooker, sondern auch, da das Finale neben den männlichen Profis in der Stadthalle ausgetragen wurde. Die Vorrunden wurden im nahegelegenen „Ballroom“ in Nürnberg gespielt.
Marketing-Direktorin Diana Schuler, die für die Organisation des Turnieres verantwortlich war: „Es freut mich sehr, dass das erste WLBS-Turnier außerhalb Großbritanniens seit über zwei Dekaden in Deutschland stattfand. Es gibt sehr viele gute Spielerinnen auf dem europäischen Festland, die nun die Möglichkeit bekommen haben, den zahlreichen deutschen Fans ihr Können zu zeigen. Finale Seite an Seite mit den Stars der männlichen Snooker-Szene zu spielen, war ein wichtiger Schritt für uns, um unseren Bekanntheitsgrad und die Akzeptanz zu erhöhen.“

In dem mit 31 Spielerinnen besetzten Feld aus 11 Nationen konnten sich die amtierende Weltmeisterin Reanne Evans (England) und Ng On Yee (Hong Kong), Weltmeisterin 2015, ins Finale vorkämpfen und liesen ihre Halbfinalkontrahentinnen Tatjana Vasiljeva (Lettland) und Maria Catalano (England) mit jeweils 4:0 zurück.
Im Finale, das vor ca 200 Zuschauern parallel zu den Viertelfinalepartien der Herren in der Stadthalle ausgetragen wurde, konnte Reanne Evans nicht ihre übliche Form zeigen und musste sich mit 4:1 Ng On Yee geschlagen geben.

White Fights Back to Reach Shanghai
Michael White produced the most dramatic of comebacks in Barnsley, as he pipped Jimmy Robertson to a place at the Shanghai Masters.
Robertson raced to a 4-1 advantage thanks to breaks of 74, 69 and 71. However, White staged an unlikely turnaround. The Welshman took the sixth and seventh frame to keep the game alive at 4-3. Robertson looked set to claim the match when he made a contribution of 54 in the eighth, only for White to snatch the frame on the black with a counter clearance of 59. In keeping with the tension that preceded it, the final frame went down to a re-spotted black. It was White who made it to clinch his place in Shanghai.
