Reigning women's snooker world champion Bai Yulu is gearing up for the upcoming 2025 Women's Snooker Championship in Dongguan on May 20, aiming to secure back-to-back titles after her breakthrough 2024 victory.
The 21-year-old Chinese player has a disciplined approach to the game. "When I compete, I try to keep a peaceful mind. You have to focus on the game. If you're too eager to win, it might impact your performance negatively."
Currently training in Sheffield, home to snooker's iconic Crucible Theater, she recalled her journey since her snooker-lover father bought a second-hand snooker table. "When my dad saw I was interested, he started to teach me basic tricks. He's the one who introduced me to the sport."
"The main quality to have in snooker is perseverance. Training can get quite boring and dry, but the key is to persevere. If you put the work in, you will succeed," Bai emphasized the importance of perseverance in her journey.
As she prepares to defend her title in Dongguan, Bai remains focused on her game. "This year's Women's Snooker Championship will take place on 20th May in Dongguan and my goal is to win the championship again."
