Reanne Evans (born October 25, 1985 in Dudley ) is an English snooker player . She is twelve-time world champion in women's snooker (uninterrupted from 2005 to 2014 as well as 2016 and 2019).
Career
Reanne Evans started playing snooker at the age of 13 after watching her brothers do it. At the age of 19, she became the first world champion of the World Ladies Billiards and Snooker Association , the women's division of the WPBSA . Since then she has dominated women's snooker. The following year, she was seven months pregnant when she won her second title. Her daughter's father is Northern Irish professional snooker Mark Allen , but their relationship did not last.
In 2008 and 2009 she won the World Mixed Doubles Championship in mixed doubles with Michael Holt and Neil Robertson as partners.
In 2008 she scored her highest tournament break of 140 points. In women's tournaments she was unbeaten 90 games in a row before losing for the first time in September 2011.
Due to her dominance in women's snooker, she received a wildcard for the Snooker Main Tour in 2010 . This made her the first woman on the Main Tour since Allison Fisher in the 1994/95 season . At the end of the season she finished 97th (and last) in the snooker world rankings and thus lost her place on the tour. The attempt at direct re-qualification through the Q School failed.
After that she got the opportunity to participate in qualifying tournaments of the Main Tour even without professional status. At the Wuxi Classic 2013 she managed a 5-4 win against the Thai Thepchaiya Un-Nooh . Since only a single qualifying round was played from this season, she was in the main round of a world ranking tournament for the first time in her career and was also the first woman to make it. In China, she then lost her opening match.
In April 2015, Reanne Evans lost for the first time again at a World Cup for women. In the semifinals she lost to the eventual winner Ng On Yee from Hong Kong. The following year they met again in the final and Evans won the title for the eleventh time. In 2017 she lost again in the semifinals to Ng On Yee.
From 2010 she also took part regularly in the Paul Hunter Classic , a tournament on the Main Tour open to amateurs. In 2017 , she qualified for a WPBSA world ranking tournament for the first time without a wildcard. The later round of 16 Zhao Xintong turned out to be too high a hurdle in the first main round match .
At the same time, she took part in the women's tournament of the Paul Hunter Classic in 2016 and 2017. Both times she was in the final against Ng On Yee, in 2016 the Hong Kong woman won, in 2017 Evans was successful.
In February 2019, Evans took part in the snooker shoot-out , for which she received a wildcard . However, she failed in the first round to Jimmy White .
In June 2019 she won the world championship for the 12th time .
Participation in World Cup qualifications
After winning her tenth WLBSA world title in a row in 2014, she was invited to qualify for the World Championship for professional players for the first time . There she was set in the opening round against Ken Doherty . After she was able to keep the game open for a long time, she lost just 8:10 in the end.
In 2017 World Cup qualification , she achieved the first victory of a woman in a World Cup qualification with a 10: 8 first round win over Robin Hull . In the second round she was defeated by Lee Walker 6:10. In qualifying for the 2018 World Cup , she lost her first round duel against Dominic Dale with 7:10, in 2019 she was eliminated in the first round against Zhang Yong with 2:10 and in 2020 - also in the first round - against Andy Hicks out 3: 6.
