Career

[edit]

Un-Nooh first entered the professional tour for the2009–10season by winning the 2008IBSF World Snooker Championship.He dropped off the main tour after just one season.

2012–13 season

[edit]

He received the Thai nomination to compete on the snooker tour for the2012–13 season.[5]As a new player on the tour, he needed to win four matches to reach the main stage of the ranking events. He lost in the third qualifying round in three of the first four ranking events of the season.[6]In September, it was announced that his match at thePlayers Tour Championship – Event 3againstSteve Daviswas under investigation due to unusual betting patterns.[7]Un-Nooh moved from an 8/11odds-onfavourite to 11/8 against just before the match started, and went on to lose 0–4 to the six-time world champion.[8]World Snookerreleased a statement in November to confirm that there was insufficient evidence, and that no further action would be taken against Un-Nooh.[9]He reached the final qualifying round for theUK Championshipand theWorld Open,but lost toMichael HoltandRyan Dayrespectively.[6]Un-Nooh played in nine of the tenPlayers Tour Championship Eventsduring the season; his best results were three last-16 defeats in European Tour Events, and he finished 46th on the PTC Order of Merit.[10]His season ended when he was beaten 3–10 byBen Woollastonin the third round ofWorld Championship Qualifying,which saw him finish the year ranked world number 69.[11][12]

[edit]
Un-Nooh in 2013

Un-Nooh lost in the qualifying rounds for the first four ranking events of the2013–14 season,but then beatGerard Greene6–5 to reach theInternational ChampionshipinChengdu,China.[13]In his first appearance in the main draw of a ranking event he thrashedZhang Anda6–1, before losing by the same scoreline toNeil Robertsonin the last 32.[14]However, the experience seemed to kick start Un-Nooh's season as in 2014 he played at the venue stage of four of the remaining six ranking events. He beatRonnie O'Sullivan5–4 in qualifying for theGerman Masters,with the reigning world champion playing high risk exhibition shots throughout the match, but Un-Nooh was whitewashed 5–0 byJack Lisowskiin the first round.[15][16]At theWorld Open,Un-Nooh ledStephen Maguire3–0, before the world number eight rallied to win four frames in a row. The match went into a deciding frame in which Un-Nooh made a break of sixty, only for Maguire to get a chance to win but then miss the final brown, handing Un-Nooh a big scalp.[17]He then reached the last 16 of a ranking event for the first time by beatingAndrew Higginson5–1 and lost 5–2 toGraeme Dott,despite missing the final pink when on a147break during the match.[13]Un-Nooh advanced to the last 32 of theChina Openby whitewashing1997world championKen Doherty5–0, before losing 5–3 againstDing Junhui.[13]His performances during the campaign saw him end it in the top 64 in the world rankings for the first time as he was placed 59th.[18]

2014–15 season

[edit]

Un-Nooh qualified for theInternational Championshipfor the second year in a row, but was edged out 6–5 byFergal O'Brienin the first round.[19]He also lost in a deciding frame in the first round of theUK ChampionshipagainstRobin Hull,despite making breaks of 137 and 117 during the match.[20]Un-Nooh won five games to reach the semi-finals of theXuzhou Openwhere he beatMark Williams4–1 to play in his first final in a professional event. He was defeated 4–1 byJoe Perry,but he described Un-Nooh as an exceptional talent after the match.[21]

Un-Nooh defeated defending champion Ding Junhui in the first round of theIndian Open,calling it his biggest win after the match. He also stated that he didn't feel he could win the title.[22]Nevertheless, he whitewashedLuca Brecel4–0 and then recorded wins overJamie JonesandMark Davisto reach the semi-finals of a ranking event for the first time.[23]Un-Nooh compiled a trio of half-century breaks to race into a 3–0 lead overRicky Walden,but went on to lose 4–3.[24]His Asian final saw him finish fourth on theirOrder of Meritto make his debut in theGrand Final,where he was knocked out 4–1 byMark Williamsin the first round.[25]Un-Nooh's rise up the rankings continued as he ended the year 49th in the world.[26]

2015–16 season

[edit]

Un-Nooh scored his first professional win at the2015 Six-red World ChampionshipinBangkok,Thailand.He beat world championStuart Binghamand former UK ChampionJudd Trumpen route to a final with China'sLiang Wenbo,which he won 8–2 in frames.[27]Un-Nooh missed the final black in attempting to make amaximum breakin his 6–2 loss toNeil Robertsonat theUK Championship.[28]He appeared onChannel 4showTFI Fridaya few days later to recreate the shot, and this time potted it.[29]At theWorld Grand Prix,Un-Nooh eliminatedMarco Fu4–3 andMark Allen4–2 to reach the quarter-finals. He made breaks of 97, 84 and 74 to lead 3–1, but Ding Junhui took the match 4–3.[30]Incredibly, in the final round ofWorld Championshipqualifying, Un-Nooh missed another 147 final black. He did make a 144 later on in the match, but his opponentAnthony McGillwon 10–7.[31]Un Nooh increased his ranking by 16 places over the year to end it as the world number 33.[32]

2016–17 season

[edit]

Un-Nooh knocked out world number oneMark Selby5–3 in the second round of theWorld Open,and then whitewashedAlan McManus5–0 and beat Anthony McGill 5–2.[33]In the semi-finals he suffered a 6–1 loss toAli Carter.[34]In the third round of thePaul Hunter ClassicagainstKurt Maflin,Un-Nooh finally made his first professional 147 break, after twice missing the final black the previous season. It earned him £40,000, and he won the match 4–1 before then narrowly beatingMark AllenandDavid Graceboth 4–3, to reach the semi-finals of a ranking tournament for the second successive event.[35]Un-Nooh lost 4–2 againstTom Ford.He struggled to build on this afterward, for he could not win a first-round match until the2017 Welsh Open,in which he beatBen Woollaston4–0 and then saw off Ryan Day 4–1, before being defeated 4–1 byBarry Hawkins.[36]After a last 16 finish at theGibraltar Openhis season ended on a low note as he lost in the first round of qualifying for theWorld Championshipwith a 10–9 defeat againstPeter Lines.[36]

2017–18 season

[edit]

At the invitational2017 Six-red World Championship,Un-Nooh reached the final and was level at 2–2 against Williams before losing 2–8.[37]His season was generally pretty quiet, with his best ranking finish being reaching the last 16 at theWorld Open,where he was eliminated 5–1 byKyren Wilson.[38]However he did qualify for theWorld Championshipfor the second year running after recording victories overAlexander Ursenbacher(10–8),Adam Stefanow(10–4), andAlfie Burden(10–8).[39]Drawn againstJohn Higginsin the first round (who subsequently went on to reach the final), he recorded two century breaks but ultimately lost out 10–7.[40]He finished the season ranked 56th.[41]

2018–19 season

[edit]

Un-Nooh's best showing in a ranking event for the first half of the2018–19 snooker seasonwas at theNorthern Ireland Open,where he defeatedRobert Milkins4–0,Ross Muir4–0,Chris Totten4–1, andRobbie Williams4–0 before meetingMark Selbyin the quarter-finals where he lost 5–3.[42]Un-Nooh then secured his first ranking event title at the2019 Snooker Shoot Out,beatingMichael Holtwith a break of 74. This came after he made the highestbreakin the tournament's history, 139, in the semi-finals to beatJamie Clarke.He secured a £32,000 prize and became the second player from Thailand to win a ranking event.[43]He once again qualified for theWorld Championship,recording victories over Johnathan Bagley,Mark JoyceandJoe O'Connor.[44]He was drawn against eventual championJudd Trumpin the first round, and lost 10–9 in a classic match, despite being 6–3 up and having a chance to win in the deciding frame.[45]

2019–20 season

[edit]

In the first half of the2019–20 snooker season,Un-Nooh's best performances in ranking events were last 16 finishes at theRiga MastersandEnglish Open,where he was defeated byKurt MaflinandRicky Waldenrespectively.[46]He also added another title by winning the non-rankingHaining Open,defeatingLi Hang5–3 in the final.[47]Just one week later at theWorld Open,Un-Nooh recorded victories over Zhang Yang,Craig Steadman,Sunny Akani,David GilbertandKyren Wilsonto reach his second ranking final. FacingJudd Trump,he fell 7–1 behind including conceding a frame after three fouls, but rallied to 8–5 before Trump took the remaining two frames. He picked up £75,000 for reaching the final which is his highest single-event prize to date.[48]He also reached the quarter-finals of theScottish Openwhere he lost out 5–3 toJack Lisowskiin an entertaining match, theEuropean Masterswhere he lost 5–1 toNeil Robertson,and theGibraltar Openwhere he lost 4–0 toKyren Wilson.[46]For the2020 World Snooker Championshipdelayed by theCOVID-19 pandemic,he came through qualifying for the third year in a row with victories overDominic DaleandLiam Highfield,and was drawn againstRonnie O'Sullivanin the first round.[49]However, in a match played behind closed doors, he was demolished 10–1 in a fastest ever best-of-19 match at the Crucible, which lasted just 108 minutes. Like his previous two first round opponents at the World Championship, O'Sullivan would also go on to reach the final (and, like Trump the previous year, win the tournament).[50]

2020–21 season

[edit]

In a season largely played behind closed doors inMilton Keynes,Un-Nooh struggled to get into a rhythm of winning matches, with his best ranking finishes being last 16 appearances at theNorthern Ireland Open,Shoot OutandGibraltar Open.[51]However his performances from the previous season were enough to propel him into the top 16 in the rankings for the first time by October, and would ensure he would make a first appearance at theMasters.Drawn against reigning championStuart Bingham,he slipped to 5–1 behind but rallied to 5–4, before Bingham won the tenth frame and the match 6–4.[52]His season ended with a disappointing 6–5 defeat toIgor Figueiredoin the first round of qualifying for theWorld Championship.[51]

2021–22 season

[edit]

Despite starting the season ranked 19th, Un-Nooh endured a poor run of form through most of the2021–22 snooker season,with his best showing by March being a last 32 appearance at theEnglish Open.[53]Despite losing toFan Zhengyiin qualifying for theGerman Masters,he made the third maximum break of his career during the match.[54]At theTurkish Masters,he was under pressure for ranking points and defeated local wildcard Ismail Turker,Stephen MaguireandJordan Brownbefore losing in the last 16 toMatthew Seltbut gaining some much needed points.[53]He then entered qualifying for theWorld Championshipwith relegation from the tour a possibility. He defeatedAndrew Pagett(6–4),Jak Jones(6–5), and recorded a first ever victory over Matthew Selt (10–7) to save his tour card and advance to the Crucible. Un-Nooh lost toJohn Higgins10–7 in the first round proper.[55]

Playing style

[edit]

Un-Nooh is noted for his rapid playing style,[56]and ability to win frames and matches quickly with explosive speed and heavy scoring,[57]while his playing style has varyingly been described as "scary",[58]but also "frustrating" due to his over-emphasis on attacking play which can make him vulnerable in safety exchanges or scrappy frames.[59]

He is also notably only the second player (afterJamie Cope) to achieve a155 breakin a witnessed frame and the first to achieve it on camera after compiling one during a practice match againstHossein Vafaei.[60][61]
