Bio
Welsh women’s number one Laura Evans returned to the WWS circuit in 2013 following a seven-year break and reached her first ranking final two years later at the Eden Women’s Masters.
There she stunned reigning world champion Ng On Yee on her way to the title match, before losing out to namesake Reanne in Cambridge.
She also reached the final of the 10-Red World Championship in 2017, but it was Hong Kong’s Ng who gained a measure of revenge with a 4-2 victory to claim the title.
Laura achieved a career-high ranking of number four during the 2016/17 season and has established her position inside of the world’s top eight in recent seasons.
Evans first took up snooker when she was 14 and has since made a high break of 139 in practice. Away from the table she works as a support worker for women with mental health problems.
