Thai snooker player Noppon Saengkham entered a ranking snooker semi-final for the first time in his career last night at the Welsh Open in Cardiff.
 
Noppon will play Barry Hawkins of England in tonight's semi starting at 8pm Thai time.
 
Last night Noppon beat England's Ian Burns 5-3 to secure his spot in the last four.
 
Earlier in the tournament Noppon had beaten one of the world's best in Judd Trump and whitewashed Kyren Wilson. 
 
Should Noppon make the final on Sunday he will be up against Gary Wilson or one of the best players of all time in Scotland's John Higgins.

The Thai and Chinese players will probably dominate the sport in years to come. The quickfire short matches suit these players best now. Learning to maintain concentration and form over longer matches is the key.

I believe the Thais and Chinese spend a lot of time at the  national snooker academy in Sheffield in England. James Wattana acts as mentor/coach. I admire their dedication and hope it pays off.
