The snooker world championship 1975 was a professional snooker tournament in the context of the season 1974/75 with influence on the order of merit of the season 1975/76 as well as on the world rankings of the season 1976/77 . The tournament was to 1st May, 1975 April 9 as the second World Snooker Championship after the World Cup in 1971 at various venues in Australia in the states of New South Wales , Queensland and Victoria as well as in inter alia the capital Canberra comprehensive Australian Capital Territory . The winner was the defending champion Ray Reardon from Wales , who defeated the Australian player Eddie Charlton with 31:30 in the final in the last possible frame . The Northern Irishman Dennis Taylor played the highest break of the tournament with a 128 break.

background

After the World Snooker Championships in 1971 had already taken place in Australia, the Australian Professional Players' Association applied for its chairman Eddie Charlton to be held in Australia. According to the application, most of the games should be played in Sydney , but venues in other states were conceivable.

At the end of May 1974, the World Professional Billiards & Snooker Association finally announced after a meeting in West Bromwich that it would host the 1975 World Cup in Australia. The Australian Professional Players' Association acted as tournament sponsor and announced that it would guarantee eight players a free flight and thus participation in the tournament. This concerned the South African champion Perrie Mans , the Canadian champion Cliff Thorburn and six British professionals around defending champion Ray Reardon from Wales and the Englishmen Graham Miles , Fred Davis , Rex Williams , John Spencer and John Pulman . If other players could pay for their journey, they could also take part in the tournament.

Attendees

A total of 27 players took part in the 1975 World Snooker Championship, which was a new record. Of these 27 players, almost half (fourteen) came from the United Kingdom, ten from Australia, two from Canada and one player from South Africa. Of the Australian players, Lou Condo , Jim Charlton , brother of Eddie Charlton, and Ron Mares had only become professional players shortly before the start of the tournament. Condo was also an Australian snooker champion , while fellow countryman Philip Tarrant was a former national champion in English billiards .

A total of eight players were seeded for the round of 16. Welsh defending champion Ray Reardon headed this list ahead of last year's finalist Graham Miles , followed by Miles' English compatriots Fred Davis and Rex Williams and Northern Irishman Alex Higgins . The remaining three places went to John Dunning , Eddie Charlton and John Spencer . Thus Charlton was the only Australian among the seeded players and Dunning the only one who was not known from the TV broadcasts of the Pot Black Cup .

Prize money

Even though Park Drive, the sponsor of the last three World Championships, had dropped out, the prize money almost doubled from £ 9,800 last year to £ 18,600. The prize money, worth a total of 30,000 Australian dollars, set a new prize money record.

The first match of the tournament began on April 9, 1975 at the Woononna-Bulli RSL Club in the Woonona and Bulli districts of Wollongong and included the encounter between David Greaves and Jim Charlton . After the end of the first session 4: 3 and after two played sessions 8: 6 for Greaves, Greaves then defended his lead to 10: 8 before Charlton took the lead with 12:13.

Round of the last 24

The first main round started on April 13th and 14th with the game John Pulman against Philip Tarrant at the Auburn Baseball Club in Auburn . After two played sessions with seven frames each, the eight-time world champion Pulman led 9: 5, before the last two sessions with seven and eight frames respectively went clearly to Pulman and he reached the next round with a 23: 6 victory.

On April 14, the remaining seven games of the preliminary round began. The game between the South African Perrie Mans and the Northern Irish Dennis Taylor took place as the second game of the World Cup in Sydney's City Tattersalls Club . After Taylor had taken a 5-2 lead in the first session, Mans caught up significantly in the second session and equaled to 7: 7. But Taylor was able to win the first session of the second day 5: 2 and saved himself with a 4: 4 draw in the last session with an overall 16:13 victory in the round of 16.

The game between the Canadian Cliff Thorburn and the Irish-Australian Paddy Morgan at Tamworther Tamworth Workers's Club began on April 14 with two sessions, after which Thorburn had taken the lead 10: 4. The next session a day later went 5: 2 to Thorburn, before Morgan at least reduced his defeat to 17:12 at the end of the game with the 2: 6 win of the last session.

In the Grafton District Services Club in Grafton , the game between the Englishman Jim Meadowcroft and the Canadian Bill Werbeniuk was played. While Meadowcroft took a 5: 2 lead after the first session, Werbeniuk turned the game around in the second session and took the lead 6: 8 himself. On the second day he expanded this to 14: 7 with the third session, before Meadowcroft won the last session with 3: 5 to the final score of 17:12 for Werbeniuk.

Also on April 14th, the match between the 28-year-old Ian Anderson and his South Australian rival Lou Condo at the Bentleigh Club in Melbourne started as one of two games with purely Australian participation , in which Anderson took the lead 6-1 after one session. On the second day, Anderson took the lead 13: 8 before he also won the last session and thus ended the game with a final score of 18:11.

The second all-Australian encounter took place between the 1971 runner-up , Warren Simpson , and Ron Mares at the Central Coast Leagues Club in Gosford , with Simpson taking the lead 5-2 and 11-3 on the first day. The two sessions on the following day ended with 5: 2 and 3: 5 from Simpson's point of view, so that he could win the game with 19:10.

In the Goulburn Workers' Club of Goulburn the game between the Welsh-Australian Gary Owen and the Englishman David Greaves took place, in which Owen led 6-1 after a session. While the second session ended 5-2, Owen clearly dominated the next day and won the game 25-4.

The eighth game of the same round was played at the Marrickville RSL Club in Marrickville between the Englishman David Taylor and the Australian Rex King also with two sessions on the first day, on which Taylor, after a 3: 4 deficit after the first session, ended up with 8: 6 led. The last two sessions a day later went 5: 2 and 5: 3 to Taylor, who won the game 18:11.

Round of 16

Reigning World Champion Ray Reardon from Wales started the tournament against Warren Simpson at the Central Coast Leagues Club in Gosford on April 16 and 17 . Although the much older Simpson exerted strong pressure on Reardon and several frames ended closely, the defending champion, known for his secure match play under pressure, managed an 8: 6 lead after two sessions, as a result of which he was again considered the favorite for the title at this point . The third session one day later finally went 4: 3 again to Reardon, before Reardon won the game 15:14 despite a 3: 5 defeat in the fourth session and thus made it to the quarter-finals.

On the same day as Reardon, England's Graham Miles started the tournament against Cliff Thorburn at the Queanbeyan Leagues Club in Queanbeyan, his last year's competitor from the World Cup final. Though Pot Black winner Miles was known for his sophistication, he hardly stood a chance against Thorburn's fast-paced style of play. After the Canadian had led 6-1 after the first session, he managed a white wash to 13-1 lead in the second session , so that even the referee of the game, Eric Burke , announced that Thorburn was playing in his current style is unbeatable. On the second day, Thorburn's winning streak continued with 5: 2 and 7: 1, so that he moved into the quarter-finals with a clear 25: 4 victory.

The third round of 16 started on April 16 at the Melbourne Bentleigh Club between England's Rex Williams and Australian Ian Anderson, in which it was 5: 2 after one session. After the second session with 6: 1 and the third with 5: 2 each also went to Williams, the latter secured the quarter-finals with a 4: 4 draw in the last session and a 20: 9 final result.

In Dapto Leagues Club of Dapto met on 17 and 18 April John Pulman and set John Spencer each other. Spencer, who four years earlier had won the 1971 World Snooker Championship, which was also held in Australia, was 9-5 in the lead after two sessions. After Spencer won the third session 4: 3 the following day, the two Englishmen shared the last session 4: 4, so Spencer reached the next round with a 17:12 win.

During the same period, the Englishman John Dunning, seeded sixth, met Gary Owen at the Broken Hill RSL Club in Broken Hill . After two sessions, Owen was already leading 8: 6 before consolidating his 19:10 win on the second day with a 5: 2 and a 6: 2 in the last two sessions.

With the Englishman Fred Davis played alongside John Pulman another eight-time world champion for the title. Davis, brother of snooker pioneer Joe Davis , started the tournament with a game against Northern Irish Dennis Taylor at the Marrickville RSL Club , in which Taylor was 8: 6 ahead after two sessions. At the start of the second day Taylor was able to extend his lead with a 4: 3 in the third session, before Davis even shortened his deficit with a 3: 5 in the final session, Taylor but his 15:14 victory with a 104: 32 win in the last frame. Thus, the game after the preliminary round game between Davis Greaves and Jim Charlton was the second tournament game that ended in the Decider .

The second game in the Grafton District Services Club started on April 17th, the game between the Australian Eddie Charlton and the Canadian Bill Werbeniuk . After Charlton had played the first Century Break of the tournament with a 124 break in the first session, Werbeniuk led 8: 6 after two sessions despite a clear win in the second session on the part of Werbeniuk. The third session, however, clearly went 5: 2 to Charlton, who secured his 17:12 victory with a 4: 4 in the final session and the associated move into the quarter-finals.

In the Albury SS and A in Albury of the same name , the Englishman David Taylor and his Irish competitor Alex Higgins played their round of 16. Higgins clearly dominated the two sessions on the first day and was leading 12-2 at the end of the day. Although Taylor was able to win both sessions 3: 4 and 3: 5 the next day, he could no longer prevent Higgins from reaching the quarter-finals with an overall 20: 9 win.

Quarter finals

Between April 21 and April 23, the four quarterfinals took place at the Sherwood Services Club in Sherwood , Queensland , the Cooma RSL of Cooma , the Wentworthville Leagues Club in Wentworthville and the Harbord Diggers' Club of Harbord .

The Englishman Rex Williams and the Northern Irishman Alex Higgins met in Wentworthville . Higgins took the lead 4: 2 after the first session, before the game had to be interrupted for 50 minutes due to repair work caused by a five-tonne frame intended for illuminating the snooker table with fluorescent lamps and which had fallen onto the snooker table. With both players uninjured, the game continued afterwards, whereby Higgins had extended his lead to 8-4 by the end of the day. On the second day, Higgins clearly dominated the third session with 5: 1, before Williams managed to win the fourth session himself 4: 2 to shorten it to 15: 9 overall. After a 3: 3 in the fifth session, Williams shortened with a 3: 4 in the final session, but Higgins won the game overall with 21:16, whereby the Northern Irish reached the semi-finals.

In Cooma RSL in the same Cooma met defending champion Ray Reardon and the two-time world champion John Spencer each other with Spencer after the end of the first day and using a -103 Breaks 5: 7 led. The second day started with an even 3: 3 in the third session, before Reardon equalized with a 4: 2 in the fourth session for a total of 13:13. In that same session a total of five breaks of over 50 points were played, so that the referee of the game, Ron Scherne , described it as "absolutely fantastic snooker". After the fifth session ended 3: 3, Reardon was able to use his skillful style of play to win the last session 4: 3 and thus win the game 19:18 and reach the semi-finals.

In the Harbord Diggers' Club met Dennis Taylor , referred to by its previous victory as a "surprise of the tournament," and Gary Owen , for his part Vice World Champion in 1969, to one another. The former dominated the first day of the game when Taylor was also in the lead 8: 4 after two sessions with a break of 128 - the highest break of the tournament. On the second day Taylor expanded this with session wins of 5: 1 and 4: 2 to a 17: 7, so that his place in the semifinals was almost certain. The preliminary decision fell with Taylor's 4: 2 outcome in the fifth session, so that Owen only shortened it to a 23:14 by winning the final session 5: 2 and thus could no longer prevent Taylor from reaching the semi-finals.

As the first game of the world championship in the state of Queensland met at the Sherwood Services Club in the Brisbane borough of Sherwood Cliff Thorburn and Eddie Charlton , in whose game it was 6: 6 after the first day. The third session a day later also ended in a draw, before Charlton won the following session 4-2 and thus took the lead with 13:11. Thorburn's resistance finally broke in the fifth session, which Charlton won 5-1, before the latter completed the final session with a 5-2 win to make it 23:14, making it the only Australian to reach the semi-finals.

Semifinals

The semi-finals followed between April 24th and 26th, which were played on the one hand in the Canberra Workers Club in the Australian capital Canberra and on the other hand in the Past Brothers League Club in Brisbane , the capital of Queensland.

Ray Reardon and Alex Higgins met in Canberra, the Australian capital . After the first session ended 4: 2 for Reardon, the first frame of the second session was decided on the last black when Higgins had first equalized and then missed the same before Reardon took the frame with the seven points from him punched ball. Higgins then managed to win a single frame before Reardon won all of the remaining four frames of the session and was 9-3 ahead at the end of the first day. But Higgins made the comeback and only came up to 9: 8 on Reardon before he equalized to 10:10. But again the last four frames of the day went to Reardon, who was able to show a lead of 14:10. But the fifth session of the game went again 2: 4 to the young Northern Irish, before Reardon won the last session 5: 2 and thus the game with 21:16 to reach the final for the third time in a row and for the fourth time to reach.

In Brisbane, on the other hand, the first day of the game was clearer when Charlton won both sessions 5-1 and was 10-2 ahead at the end of the day. But on the second day Taylor started a race to catch up when he had reduced his deficit to 16: 8 after the two sessions. On the third and final day, both sessions went 2: 4 and 3: 4 to Taylor, but in the end Charlton was the winner with a 21:16.

final

The 61-frame final was played between April 27 and May 1, 1975 at Nunawading Basketball Stadium eleven miles from Melbourne . Welshman John Williams was the referee of the game .

The game got off to a balanced start when the two sessions on the first day both ended 3: 3 each, although Charlton would have only had to sink the frame ball to 7: 5 in the last frame of the day with a lead of 63: 0, but after he forgave, Reardon managed to win the frame himself with a break of 64 and thus equalize it. But after a shaky start into the first session of the second day in Charlton, Reardon managed to win that session 6-0 and thus take the lead 12-6. At the beginning of the fourth session, Charlton was able to win two frames before Reardon also won the remaining four frames with a 104 break and was thus 16: 8 ahead at the end of the day.

But the next day Charlton managed to return to his old form and win the fifth session 6-0. After the first three frames of the second session of the day had gone to the Australian and he was now in the lead at 16:17, the remaining three frames went to Reardon, who was back in the lead at 19:17 at the end of the day. Charlton's form continued on the penultimate day when, after a 3: 3 in the first session, despite a 109 break by the Australian, he won the eight sessions with 1: 5, so that he was 23:25 before the last two sessions was in the lead.

The penultimate session of the game also went 2: 4 to Charlton, who was ahead of the remaining seven frames of the final session with 25:29. And in the first frame of the session, Charlton was already leading with 22 points and only needed the brown to win the frame, but Charlton committed a foul when the ball fell into a pocket on the snooker table when he hit. Reardon then won first this frame and then the following four, in order to lead with two remaining frames despite the actually certain victory for Charlton with 30:29. Even if as a result Charlton saved himself in the decider with the following frame , it clearly went to Reardon with 84:18 thanks to a break of 62, who thus won the game. It was the fourth world title for the Welshman, with two more to follow until 1978. For Charlton, however, it was the last participation in a final of the snooker world championship, which means that with this defeat he had finally lost the chance of winning the snooker world championship.
