Career
Tony Jones won the English Amateur Championship in 1983 and then turned professional. In the 1989/90 season he made it to the quarter-finals of a ranking tournament for the first time at the Asian Open . In three other tournaments of the same season he reached the last sixteen. In the world rankings he moved up to 35th place.
The following season he won the European Open quite surprisingly . In the course of the tournament he defeated Alain Robidoux , Darren Morgan , Steve James , Dennis Taylor , Brady Gollan and finally Mark Johnston-Allen in the final with 9: 7. At the end of the season he rose to 15th place in the world rankings.
In the period that followed, however, his performance stagnated. At the International Open 1993 he made it to the quarter-finals again, but in the world rankings he fell out of the top 32 again in the 1994/95 season . Between the mid to late 1990s he stayed in the 60th place in the world. His last outstanding result in a tournament was reaching the quarter-finals at the 1996 Grand Prix .
After the end of the 2003/04 season , he failed to qualify for the upcoming season of the Snooker Main Tour .
