Career

A few months after he was eliminated in the preliminary round at the World Amateur Championship in 1995 , Shehab first took part in the Snooker Main Tour in the 1996/97 season . However, he did not reach the main round in any tournament and lost the Main Tour place at the end of the season as 397th in the world rankings .

After he had won the national championship of the United Arab Emirates in 2000 , Shebab reached the quarter-finals at the amateur world championship in 2002, where he was defeated by the eventual world champion Steve Mifsud by 5: 6. In the 2003/04 season he took part in three tournaments of the Challenge Tour , where he moved into the semifinals in the first tournament. At the end of the season he reached the second round in qualifying for the professional world championship after beating Stefan Mazrocis , but in which he was defeated by Lee Farebrother with 1: 5.

In 2005 he reached the round of 16 of the Asian Cup . At the 2006 World Grand Prix , which was held as a replacement for the amateur world championship, which was lost in 2005 , he made it to the quarter-finals and lost there to Michael White , the eventual winner of the tournament. At the Asian Cup in 2006, after victories against Jin Long , Habib Subah and Keith Boon , he made it to the finals, in which he was defeated 3: 6 by the Thai Issara Kachaiwong . As vice-Asian champion he qualified for the 2006/07 Main Tour .

At the opening tournament, the Northern Ireland Trophy , he was eliminated in the first round against Ben Woollaston . In the following two world ranking tournaments, he did not get beyond the round of the last 96. In January 2007 he succeeded at the Malta Cup with a 5-2 win against Liu Song to move into the second round, in which he lost 4-5 to David Roe . He then retired from the Welsh Open , the China Open and the World Cup in the round of 96. At the end of the season he came in 90th place in the world rankings and thus lost his Main Tour place.

A few weeks after the end of the season Shehab reached the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup, in which he was eliminated 0: 5 against the eventual Asian champions Supoj Saenla . At the Amateur World Cup in 2007 , he made it to the semi-finals and defeated Belgian Björn Haneveer 4-1 in the game for third place after a 5-8 defeat against Passakorn Suwannawat . In July 2008 Shehab took part in the 6-Red Snooker International , an invitation tournament of the Main Tour, but was eliminated in the preliminary round. In 2008 he also reached the round of 16 of the Asian Cup and the round of 32 at the Amateur World Cup .

At the 2009 Asian Cup, Shehab was eliminated again in the round of 16. In July 2009 he succeeded in the World Games after victories against Stephen Craigie and Wu Yu-lin to the semi-finals, in which he was defeated by Nigel Bond 2: 3. With a 3-2 win against Soheil Vahedi , he then won the bronze medal. Two months later he received a wildcard for the Shanghai Masters , in which, however, he was eliminated in the wildcard round against Graeme Dott .

In 2010 Shehab reached the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup. At the 2011 World Cup , he and Mohammed al-Joker formed the United Arab Emirates team, which was eliminated in the preliminary round.
