In the early morning of May 15, Beijing time, the last stop of the season of the World Snooker Women's Tour - the Women's Snooker British Open came to an end, and Chinese player Bai Yulu won the championship in the final of Luxnock "Empress" Evans, which is the 20-year-old Bai Yulu's first career to win the World Women's Snooker Ranking Championship. With this result, Bai Yulu's women's world ranking also rose from 37th to 17th.
The tournament was Bai Yulu's first career in the United Kingdom for the World Women's Tour, in which Bai Yulu successfully qualified for the group stage, beating a British player and an Indian player in the knockout round to advance to the last eight. In the quarterfinals, Bai Yulu won 3-2 against Hong Kong's Wu Anyi, and then defeated a Thai player in the semifinals to advance to the final. In the final, Bai Yulu faced the women's snooker "queen" Evans once trailed 2-3, but she then won two consecutive games to win the championship.
Born in 2003, Chinese snooker star Bai Yulu rose to prominence this year, winning the second place in the Women's World Snooker Championships in March this year, and also scored a single shot high of 127 points in this World Championship, breaking the 20-year-old record for the highest single score of the Women's World Snooker Championship, after the highest single score in the Women's World Championship was 125 points scored by Kelly Fisher in 2003.
Although Bai Yulu won the British Open title this time, it will not give Bai Yulu the professional qualification for the World Snooker Pro Tour next season, but Bai Yulu has a huge age advantage and the future can be expected.
