Zhang Anda ( Chinese  张 安达 , Pinyin Zhāng Āndá ; * December 25, 1991 ) is a Chinese snooker player .

Career

Zhang Anda is from Guangzhou , where his parents run a table tennis club.

He won the ACBS Asian Under-21 Championship and qualified for the Snooker Main Tour . After a rather inconspicuous season, he managed completely surprisingly to qualify for the 2010 World Snooker Championship in Sheffield by asserting himself in the four qualifying rounds against Craig Steadman , John Parrott , Andrew Higginson and Ricky Walden . At the World Cup he was eliminated in the first round after a 9:10 against seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry .

After a disappointing 2010/11 season , he had to leave the main tour again. He made the return for the 2012/13 season . He qualified because he made it to the finals at the U21 Asian Cup in 2012, benefiting from the fact that the winner Hossein Vafaei has already qualified for the professional tour in another way and has thus moved up.

At the end of the 2013/14 season , Zhang Anda was only 77th in the world rankings , which was not enough to stay on the Main Tour. However, through the Q School , he immediately re-qualified for two more years in the first tournament .
