Thai snooker ace Thepchaiya into semi-finals at Scottish Open 2022

[webfact]

 

Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, ranked 57th in the world, beat world number 3 and former world champion Judd Trump yesterday in Edinburgh at the 2022 Scottish masters quarter finals.

 

Thepchaiya - a fast and elegant player who has been in the doldrums in the last few years and nealy dropped off the main tour last year - triumphed 5-4 on a respotted black.

 

He will meet Gary Wilson today (Saturday) after the world number 32 defeated Kyren Wilson 5-3. 

 

Thepchaiya, who always "wais" the audience at the end of matches told the BBC: "I just believed. I had never beaten Judd before. I'm so happy."

 

The match against Wilson will be live on True in Thailand.

Brilliant. Always good to watch (up there with Ronnie for the matter of fact way he plays). Good chance to get to the final.

Good to see the "touch" has returned..

at that level confidence is a big issue.
