Cao Xinlong ( Chinese  曹新龙 , Pinyin Cáo Xīnlóng ; born August 16, 1981 ) is a Chinese snooker player .

Career

Cao Xinlong was allowed to participate in a professional snooker tournament for the first time in 2005 at the China Open with a wildcard . He was defeated by Allister Carter . He was also unable to use a number of other wildcards at Chinese tournaments, but at the China Open 2009 he benefited from the withdrawal of John Parrott and moved into the main field with 32 players without a fight.

When the Players Tour Championship (PTC), open to amateurs, was expanded to Asia in 2012 , Cao also took part in the three tournaments taking place in China. After finishing in the last 32 in the first two events, he defeated two highly rated professional players at the third tournament in Zhengzhou with his compatriot Ding Junhui and Welshman Dominic Dale and was only eliminated in the round of 16. In the Asian ranking of the PTC series 2012/13 he was the fourth-best amateur and thus got the right to start on the Snooker Main Tour as a professional for the following two seasons.

In his first year the successes remained except at the PTC tournaments. He was only able to qualify for the main tournament at the German Masters 2014 , but because of problems with his visa he was unable to compete in Germany. At the end of the season he managed a first round win in the World Cup qualification against Jamie O'Neill , which brought him to 115th place in the world rankings . In the next season, Cao moved to Event 1 of the Asian tour, in which he came into the last 32, after adjusting for the world rankings early in the season to place 92 before. After he could not qualify for any of the first four world ranking tournaments in China and Australia, he fell back in the ranking list.
