2019 World Women's Snooker Championship

Reanne Evans

The group stage began 20 June. There were twelve groups, each with either four or five players. The top two qualifiers from each group proceeded into the knockout stage.[4][5] Reanne Evans and Wendy Jans were the only two players not to lose a frame in qualifying[5] and were seeded first and second respectively into the knockout stage. All of the original top twelve seeds qualified for the knockout.[6]

Wendy Jans continued her good run from the qualifying groups with 4–0 wins over Arantxa Sanchis in the last 16 and Ploychompoo Laokiatphong to reach 17 frames won with none lost in the tournament to that point. Baipat Siripaporn fluked the pink and left herself with an easy pot on the black in the deciding frame of their quarter-final match to beat Rebecca Kenna 4–3.[7] Defending champion Ng On-yee was also beaten in a quarter-final match, losing 1–4 to Nutcharut Wongharuthai.[8][9] In the semi-finals, Evans beat Baipat Siripaporn 5–3 and Wongharuthai beat Jans 5–2.[8]

Evans beat Wongharuthai 6–3 in the final to win her twelfth World Women's Snooker Championship title, maintaining her record of never having lost in the final,[10] and collected a prize of £6,000.[11] An early day motion congratulating Evans on her win was tabled in the Parliament of the United Kingdom by Ian Austin, the Member of Parliament for Dudley North.[12][13]

The highest break of the tournament was 92 by Evans.[14]

So Man Yan won the Challenge Cup event for players who did not qualify for the knockout rounds of the main competition, beating Chitra Magimairaj 3–2 in the final.[15]
