Adam Wicheard (born August 23, 1985 in Bath ) is an English snooker player .
Career
Wicheard already represented England at the age of 20 at the U21 European Championship in 2006. A back tumor disease then threw him back, so that he could not practice snooker at competitive level for a year and a half. After his recovery, he managed to qualify for the 2010/11 Snooker Main Tour by taking first place in the English amateur rankings in the 2009/10 season .
His performance on the professional tour was quite poor in the first year. He lost many of his opening games and so remained in the lower regions in the world snooker rankings. At the end of the season he was in 88th place, which was not enough to stay on the professional tour. In the first tournament of the newly introduced Q School , however, he was able to win a ticket for an immediate return to the professional tour.
His second year as a professional was also not very successful at first. Towards the end of the season, however, he managed to qualify for the Welsh Open 2012 by surviving all four qualifying rounds and was thus for the first time in the final round of a full ranking tournament. There he lost to Stephen Maguire 2: 4.
