15-Year-Old Michal Szubarczyk Makes History as Youngest Winner in World Snooker Championship

At just 15 years, two months, and 25 days old, Michal Szubarczyk has become the youngest player to win a World Snooker Championship match, surpassing the previous record held by Liam Davies. Szubarczyk secured a 10-7 win over three-time women's world champion Ng On Yee in the first qualifying round at the English Institute of Sport. The Polish prodigy expressed his pride and excitement, stating his goal to become the youngest player to compete at the Crucible Theatre. To achieve this, he must win three more matches, which would also break the record set by Luca Brecel in 2012. Meanwhile, six-time World Snooker Championship finalist Jimmy White suffered a disappointing loss to 21-year-old Gao Yang in the first qualifying round, extending his 20-year wait to return to the Crucible.
