Stuart Bingham (born 21 May 1976, in Basildon, Essex) is an English professional snooker player. As an amateur, he won the 1996 IBSF World Snooker Championship, but he then spent many seasons as a journeyman professional before improving his form to become a top-ranked player in his thirties. He first entered the top 32 in the world rankings for the 2006/2007 season, and first reached the top 16 during the 2011/2012 season. At the age of 35, he won the first ranking title of his career at the 2011 Australian Goldfields Open. He claimed his second ranking title at age 38 by winning the 2014 Shanghai Masters. He has been the runner-up in two other ranking events, the 2012 Wuxi Classic and the 2013 Welsh Open, and also won the non-ranking 2012 Premier League Snooker. He has compiled more than 230 century breaks during his career, including three maximum breaks.[4]

Career

In 1999, Bingham reached the quarter-final stage of the Welsh Open, beating the world champion John Higgins along the way, and later in the season caused a major shock by defeating Stephen Hendry 10–7 in the first round of the 2000 World Championship, ranked a lowly 97 in the world. He also qualified for the tournament in 2002 by beating Nigel Bond. Bingham played Ken Doherty in the first round and almost made the fifth 147 break at the Crucible, but missed the final pink in an attempt that would have been worth £147,000.[5] He went on to lose the match 8–10.[6]

In the 2004/2005 season his best runs were two last-sixteen runs in ranking events, including losing in a final frame decider to Ding Junhui in the China Open.[7]

In 2005/2006, he had one of his most consistent seasons. He reached the quarter-finals of the Grand Prix tournament, beating then world champion Shaun Murphy along the way.[8] He got to the same stage of the UK Championship, losing in a final frame decider to Joe Perry.[9] He also won the qualifying tournament for the Masters, scoring a 147 break along the way.[10] He then beat Steve Davis in the preliminary round, before losing to Peter Ebdon 4–6.[11] At the start of 2006 a top 16 rankings position looked a possibility, however defeat to Ryan Day in qualifying for the World Championship ended his chances of doing so,[12] although he did move up into the top 32 for the first time.[13] 2006/2007 was not so strong, and he again failed to qualify for the World Championship, though he did achieve the unique feat of winning the Masters qualifying tournament for a second successive season, defeating Mark Selby 6–2 in the final.

He made a good start to the 2007/08 season, reaching the quarter finals of the Shanghai Masters, losing 5–0 to Mark Selby. After finishing 4th in his group in the Grand Prix he then lost his first match in the Northern Ireland Trophy. In the Maplin UK Championship he managed to reach the last 16, losing to Shaun Murphy 9–3, after victories over Fergal O'Brien and Steve Davis again. He also reached the same stage of the Welsh Open, beating Stephen Maguire 5–4, after being 3–0 down, in the last 32, but subsequently lost 5–2 to Joe Perry in the last 16. He qualified for the World Championship with a comfortable 10–3 win over Adrian Gunnell, and then he beat Steve Davis once again in the first around 10–8 (this after having led 8–3 and been pegged back at 8–8), only to lose to Joe Perry again in the second round 13–9. 2008/2009 was a comparative disappointment for Bingham, who lost his first match in four of the eight events.

Bingham was drawn against Ronnie O'Sullivan is the first round of the 2009 World Championship due to be held in April. He lost the match 10–5.

Bingham reached the Quarter final stages of the 2010 UK Championship having defeated Ronnie O'Sullivan 9–6 and then Marco Fu 9–2 in previous rounds before losing 9–7 to Northern Ireland's Mark Allen. Had he won the match it would have meant him entering the top 16 in the World Rankings for the first time in his career. Later that season, Bingham qualified once again for the World Championship and beat former champion Peter Ebdon 10–8 in the first round. In the second round he went up against Ding Junhui and played well to go 12–9 up but Ding produced a great comeback to win 13–12. Had Bingham won the match, he would have ended the season ranked inside the world's top 16.

First ranking event victory

In July 2011 Bingham won the first world ranking event in his sixteen-year career, coming back from 8–5 down to beat Mark Williams 9–8 to win the Australian Goldfields Open and the $60,000 first prize. His run included a revenge 5–2 frames victory over his crucible conqueror Ding Junhui and a 5–3 victory over bitter rival Mark Allen, as well as a semi-final 6–2 win over former World Champion Shaun Murphy.

The victory also meant that Bingham, who had already finally entered the top 16 for the first time due to a quarter-final finish in the first Players Tour Championship Event, rose to a career high ranking of 11. It also guaranteed him a place in the 2012 Masters, for the first time as a member of the elite top 16, rather than as a wildcard as he was in 2005 and 2006.[14] He drew Judd Trump in the first round and held a slender 3–2 lead before losing four frames in a row to exit the tournament 3–6.[15] He could not recapture the form he showed in Australia in the remaining seven ranking events, as he failed to get past the second round in any of them, culminating in a 4–10 loss to Stephen Hendry in the first round of the World Championship.[16] Despite the defeat, Bingham finished the season ranked world number 16, the first time he has ended the year in the top 16 in his career.[17]

2012/2013

The 2012/2013 season proved to be Bingham's best year of his career to date. He won a number of tournaments during the year, including the Premier League and contested two ranking event finals.[18] Bingham won the first two tournaments he entered, beginning with the Pink Ribbon Pro-Am charity tournament where he whitewashed Peter Lines 4–0 in the final.[19] He followed this up by claiming the first Asian PTC with a 4–3 victory over Stephen Lee.[20] His extraordinary start continued at the season's first ranking event, the Wuxi Classic.[21] He won final frame deciders in each of his matches to reach the final, overcoming Peter Ebdon, Ken Doherty, world number one Mark Selby and Mark Davis.[18] In his semi-final against Davis he compiled a 134 break in the decider to reach the final.[21] He played Ricky Walden in a bid to win the first ranking event of the season for the second successive year and made the third 147 of his career in the opening session of the match.[22] This made Bingham the third man, following Stephen Hendry and John Higgins to make a maximum in a ranking final. However, it was the only frame he could win as he trailed 1–7 at the conclusion of the afternoon's play, before eventually losing 4–10.[23] This ended Bingham's winning start to the season, which had seen him take 16 matches in a row. He couldn't defend his Australian Goldfields Open title from 2011 as he squandered a 2–0 and 4–3 lead over Matthew Selt in the first round to lose 4–5.[24]

Stuart Bingham at the 2013 German Masters.

Bingham beat Tom Ford 5–4 and Jamie Cope 5–1 to make the quarter-finals of the Shanghai Masters, but was outplayed by Shaun Murphy in a 1–5 defeat.[18] Bingham lost in the first round of the International Championship to Aditya Mehta, but bounced back to secure the third Asian PTC title with a 4–3 victory over Li Hang in the final.[25] Bingham finished atop of Group A in the Premier League, winning all but one match (which he led 3-0 against Shaun Murphy but eventually drew 3-3) and then edged past John Higgins in the semi-finals, before winning the event by dispatching Judd Trump 7–2 in the final.[26] He won through to another quarter-final at the UK Championship but was denied 4–6 by Ali Carter.[27] Bingham then had somewhat of a mid-season slump as he lost in the first round of the Masters and the German Masters and in the second round of the World Open.[18] However, he returned to form spectacularly at the Welsh Open by reaching the final. In the semi-finals he had sneaked past defending champion Ding Junhui 6–5 with a 108 break in the deciding frame,[28] and at 7–5 ahead in the final he faced Stephen Maguire and missed a crucial shot which turned the momentum of the match in Maguire's favour, as he moved 8–7 up. Although Bingham forced a last frame decider he could not take it, to lose the match 8–9.[29] Maguire again was the victor in the quarter-finals of the China Open by winning 5–1.[18]

In the World Championship, Bingham played world number 83 Sam Baird in the first round, winning 10–2.[30] He followed this with a 13–10 win over Mark Davis to reach the quarter-finals for the first time.[31] There, he faced defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, who went 7–1 ahead after the first session and then took a 12–1 lead in the second session. Although Bingham won the final three frames of the second session to prevent the match ending with a session to spare, the third session lasted just one frame, as O'Sullivan clinched a 13–4 victory.[32] He climbed 10 places in the rankings during the season to end it at world number six, his highest ever placing.[33]

2013/2014

Bingham's season began with a 5–2 defeat to Anthony Hamilton in the last 32 of the 2013 Wuxi Classic in June.[34] The following month, he lost 5–3 to Joe Perry in the last 16 of the 2013 Australian Goldfields Open.[35] In early September, he reached the semi-finals of the non-ranking 2013 Six-red World Championship, but lost 7–4 to Neil Robertson.[36] Later that month, he lost 5–1 to Kyren Wilson in the first round of the 2013 Shanghai Masters.[37] In October, he reached the last 16 of the 2013 Indian Open, where he lost 4–3 to Pankaj Advani.[38] Later that month he reached the last 16 of the 2013 International Championship, but lost 1–6 to Mark Selby.[39]

As the 2012 Premier League Snooker winner, Bingham was one of 16 players invited to compete in the 2013 Champion of Champions tournament in November. He performed impressively, defeating Ricky Walden 4–0 in the first round, Judd Trump 6–2 in the quarter-finals, and Selby 6–4 in the semi-finals before losing 8–10 in the final to O'Sullivan.[40]

Bingham followed this with a strong showing at the 2013 UK Championship. He defeated Jimmy White 6–2 in the last 64, Anthony McGill 6–2 in the last 32, and David Morris 6–1 in the last 16 to set up a quarter-final clash with O'Sullivan.[41] Even though O'Sullivan made breaks of 127 and 135 in the match, Bingham won 6–4 to book a semi-final place against Robertson, the furthest he had ever progressed in any Triple Crown event.[42] Robertson took a 5–3 lead in the first session of the semi-final, and won the first three frames of the evening session to extend his lead to 8–3. Bingham then fought back to win the next five frames, leveling the match at 8–8, but Robertson took the deciding frame to clinch a 9–8 victory.[43] At the Masters, Bingham lost 6–2 in the first round to John Higgins.[44] He reached the final of the Shoot-Out but was beaten by Dominic Dale.[45] Bingham won three matches at the Welsh Open, but then lost on the colours in the last 16 against Joe Perry to be beaten 4–3.[46] Bingham travelled to China and won the minor-ranking Dongguan Open by seeing off Liang Wenbo 4–1 in the final.[47] His form tailed off somewhat after this as he could not get past the second round of the final four ranking events, the last of which was a first round 10–5 defeat to Ken Doherty in the World Championship.[48]

2014/2015

In the first two ranking events of the season, Bingham lost in deciding frames of the third round of the Wuxi Classic to Marco Fu and the quarter-finals of the Australian Goldfields Open to Mark Davis.[49] He enjoyed victories over Li Hang, Dominic Dale and Alan McManus at the Shanghai Masters and then won four frames in a row to see off Ding Junhui 6–4 in the semi-finals.[50] From 5–3 ahead in the final against Mark Allen, Bingham took five unanswered frames to claim his second ranking title with a 10–3 win.[51][52]

Personal life

In May 2013, Bingham married his wife Michelle (née Shabi) in a ceremony held in Cyprus.[53] The couple have a son, born in 2011.[54] Bingham also has a stepdaughter.[55]

Bingham was once a keen amateur golfer, but made the decision to play less golf so that he could focus on snooker.[54]

He is also well known for his work with Amnesty International and is a strong supporter of charitable causes.[citation needed]
