Women's snooker world number one, Northern Irish star Mark Allen's ex-girlfriend, Renee Evans won her eighth British Championship trophy with a 5-1 victory over Latvians at the just-concluded Women's Snooker Championship. It was her first time since 2011 that she had won the Women's British Championship, and the 30-year-old Northern Irish girl was an absolute snooker legend. She has won almost every single women's snooker and has won 10 of the 12 women's World Championships since 2005. In terms of strength, compared to achievements, Evans is significantly stronger than China's nine-goal diva Pan Xiaoting.
In recent years, she has applied directly to participate in professional snooker competitions after winning the championship in women's competitions. In some ranking qualifying tournaments and European Tour broadcasts, fans are often able to see this beautiful woman. And her identity as Mark Allen's ex-girlfriend is also talked about.
Renee Evans, influenced by several older brothers, fell in love with snooker at the age of 13 and became a brilliant snooker player. In 2005, 20-year-old Evans fell in love with 19-year-old Mark Allen, and in 2006, Evans, who was seven and a half months pregnant, won the women's snooker World Championship, and in the same year, Evans and Allen's daughter Lauren were born, but the two broke up in 2008, during which time they did not marry.
Speaking of Evans, I have to mention her experience in the professional snooker arena. After setting a record of 61 consecutive wins in the women's snooker tournament, Evans defeated World Champion John Higgins 4-3 at the 2009 Snooker 6 Red Ball World Championship.
With this campaign, Evans also won the 2010-2011 Pro Tour Wild Card, making her the first female snooker to compete in the professional arena after Alison Fisher.
In the 2012-13 season, Evans qualified for the Wuxi Classic Qualifying Tournament through the Q-School Selection Tournament, in which Evans defeated Thai golfer Ta Chai Ya 5-4 to advance to the main tournament, becoming the first female player in history to appear in the main snooker ranking tournament.
However, at that time, he had the opportunity to challenge Neil Robertson in the first round, but unfortunately he was drawn to participate in the wild card competition, and lost to The Chinese wild card player Zhu Yinghui 2-5 and missed the main match. For this reason, Evans also complained about such a format. In last year's World Championship qualifiers, the IAW offered Evans a qualifying spot, but lost 8-10 to Dahdi in the first round.
However, for a female snooker player, her results are good enough. However, the women's snooker tournament has always been an accessory to the professional snooker, and its influence has never been as great as the women's nine-ball tournament.
