Bio

Renowned as one the fastest players of all time, Un-Nooh utilised this attribute to the full in winning the 2019 Shoot Out, and was runner-up to Judd Trump in the World Open later that year. A former top 16 player, the Thai made headlines by twice missing the final black for a 147 in tournament play, before finally achieving a maximum in 2016. Un-Nooh is a Six Red World Championship specialist, having won it in 2015 and since reached the final twice more. He has played at the Crucible four times but is yet to progress beyond the last 32.
