Luo Honghao (Chinese: 罗弘昊; pinyin: Luó Hónghào; born 31 January 2000) is a Chinese former professional snooker player.[2]

Career

[edit]

Amateur

[edit]

In July 2017, he reached the final of 2017 IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship where he lost the final 7–6 to Fan Zhengyi.[3]

Later in March 2018, he won the 2018 WSF Championship following a 6–0 demolition of Adam Stefanów in the final in Malta.[4] This victory earned him a two-year World Snooker Tour card for the 2018–19 and 2019–2020 seasons.[5]

Luo reached the third round of the 2018 China Open aged just 18 years old.[2] He received an invitation to compete in 2018 World Snooker Championship qualifying round as an amateur, but he could not obtain the visa on-time.[6]

Professional

[edit]

In the 2018/19 season, Luo reached the quarter final of the 2018 English Open, before being defeated 5-3 by Ronnie O'Sullivan.[7] At the final event of the season, Luo defeated Marco Fu 10–7, Robbie Williams 10-8 and Tom Ford 10–8 to reach the main stage of the 2019 World Snooker Championship held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.[8] However, in his first-round match against Shaun Murphy, he became only the second player to suffer a whitewash at the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible, losing 10-0 and setting a record for fewest points in a match at the Crucible with 89.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

Luo is a highly accomplished pianist[10] but chose snooker as a career aged 11.[11]
