Reanne Evans has called the first prize at the women’s World Championship “disgusting” – and pleaded for a separate fully professional tour.
Evans crashed out of the women’s blue-riband tournament to teenage event sensation Bai Yulu of China yesterday. The 37-year-old legend from Dudley was bidding to extend her own record as she chased a 13th world title at the Hi-End Snooker Club in Bangkok.
But Evans lost the last four frames to go down 5-3 to the 19-year-old from China who has lit up this year’s tournament. Bai had already set a new record break for the event – a run of 127 in the group stages beating the 125 set by England’s Kelly Fisher 20 years ago.
