Bai Yulu is definitely making a name for herself on the World Snooker Tour. She's not only dominating the women's game, but also making an impact against male players. Her recent performance at the UK Championship qualifiers was truly impressive, defeating top players like Farakh Ajaib, Jamie Jones, and Scott Donaldson before narrowly losing to Jack Lisowski in the final.
Many people, including former world number three and Eurosport pundit Neal Foulds, believe that Bai has the potential to become one of the all-time greats in women's snooker. Foulds even compared her to legends like Allison Fisher and Reanne Evans. And it's not just her fellow players who are praising her skills, even the commentators and pundits are in awe of her talent.
Bai continued to shine in the opening round of the Shoot Out, defeating Jamie Clarke with some impressive long pots and a calm demeanor despite the rowdy atmosphere. It's no surprise that her opponents are impressed with her skills. Even Jack Lisowski, who faced her in the UK qualifying, couldn't help but wonder about her potential and how far she could go in the sport.
Matt Selt, currently ranked number 34 in the world, was lucky enough to watch Bai play in Leicester and was blown away by her performance. He couldn't believe that someone who had never been on the tour before could play so well, with seven breaks over 50 against Scott Donaldson. He even mentioned that he couldn't remember a female player performing at such a high level on the tour before. Selt believes that Bai has the potential to continue making remarkable performances in the future.
But Bai is not one to rest on her laurels. Despite her impressive wins, she remains humble and focused on improving her game. She knows that there is still room for growth and is determined to work on her weaknesses to become an even better player. After all, she's only in her first season on the professional tour and has a lot of potential to reach even greater heights.
When asked about her goals for joining the pro circuit, Bai simply said she wanted to learn from others and improve her game. And she's doing just that with each match she plays. The Shoot Out is another opportunity for her to showcase her skills and have fun while doing it. She loves the lively atmosphere and sees it as a chance to play her best game without overthinking it.
Bai has a bright future ahead of her in the world of snooker. Her talent, technical skills, and calm temperament make her a formidable opponent on the table. And with her determination to continuously improve, there's no doubt that she will continue to make waves in the sport.
