World Women’s Snooker Rankings

The World Women's Snooker Rankings have been updated for the third time in the 2024/25 season after Mink Nutcharut's victory at the Australian Women’s Snooker Open. The rankings operate on a rolling two-year basis, with points from the 2022/23 season being replaced by those from the current season. In this revision, points from the 2022 Australian Open have been removed and replaced with those from the 2024 event. Players' rankings are based on their best 14 results during the counting period. Mink Nutcharut retains her top position following a thrilling win against Ng On Yee in Sydney.

English Junior Tour Champion

Daniel Boyes clinched the title at the second English Junior Tour event of the season, defeating Vladislav Gradinari 3-2 in the final at Frames Sports Bar, Coulsdon. The reigning English Under-18 champion showcased his skills by beating Oliver Sykes in the quarter-finals, who had previously won five of the last six tour events, before overcoming Ethan Llewellyn and Gradinari to secure his first tour title. The two-day competition featured 52 players, with 44 competing on Saturday to join the eight seeded players for the final day of matches.
