Women’s snooker world champion Bai Yulu failed to qualify for the British Championships after losing 6-1 to Jack Lisowski in the final qualifying round.
The 21-year-old Chinese sensation defeated three players to become the first woman to reach the main draw of a Triple Crown tournament with a single victory.
But her hopes were dashed when Lisowski, a British Championship semi-finalist two years ago, faltered with five half-centuries in Wednesday’s meeting.
Bai, who secured his spot at Judgment Day by defeating Scott Donaldson 6-5, had a chance to tie the match at 1-1 after recovering from a 69-0 deficit in the second frame, but missed the final blue. .
Lisowski took it to open a 4-0 lead.
A break of 59 gave Bai the fifth frame, but Lisowski was not to be denied and made rounds of 85 and 66 to book his place at York next week.
