China’s Bai Yul failed to qualify for the British Championships
Women’s snooker world champion Bai Yul failed to qualify for the British Championship after losing 6-1 to Jack Lisowski in the final qualifying round.
The 21-year-old Chinese sensation defeated three competitors and is one win away from becoming the first female player to qualify for the main draw of a Triple Crown tournament.
But her hopes were dashed when Lisowski, an All England semi-finalist two years ago, rattled off a quarter-century in Wednesday’s encounter.
Bye, who defeated Scott Donaldson 6-5 to secure his spot at Judgment Day, rallied from a 69-0 deficit in the second frame and had a chance to tie the match at 1-1. I missed the last blue.
Lisowski took it and extended the lead to 4-0.
A break of 59 gave Bye the fifth spot, but Lisovski was not denied and finished with runs of 85 and 66 to qualify for next week’s York.
