Igor Almeida Figueiredo (born October 11, 1977) is a Brazilian professional snooker player.
Career
He received a wild card onto the main tour for 2010/2011, having been a runner-up to Alfie Burden in the 2009 IBSF World Championship.[3] He also competed on the PIOS tour where he finished 12th in the rankings after the eight events. Prior to competing in these events Figueiredo had only played on 10-foot tables.[4]
In his first major ranking event, the Shanghai Masters, Figueiredo beat Jamie O'Neill 5–4 and David Gilbert 5–4 (despite being docked a frame for forgetting his cue).[5] His run ended in the last 64 losing 5–1 to Fergal O'Brien. He also qualified for the televised stages of the World Open, losing 0–3 in the third round to Mark Williams.
As a result of his strong start to the season, Figueiredo retained his Main Tour place for the 2011/2012 season. However, he only entered qualifying for one ranking event, the 2012 World Championship, where he won three matches, before losing 7–10 to Joe Jogia.[6] He also played in the inaugural Brazil Masters and defeated world number 17 Jamie Cope in the first round 4–2,[7] but then lost by the same scoreline to Graeme Dott in the quarter-finals.[6]
