Bio
Hawkins took 16 years after making his professional debut to win a ranking title, which finally came when he beat former World Champion Peter Ebdon in the final of the 2012 Australian Open. He followed that up with a run to the final of the World Championship the next year, losing out to Ronnie O’Sullivan, and established himself as a Crucible specialist with four more semi-final appearances in the next five years. Hawkins has twice finished runner-up in The Masters, and won his first ranking event for more than six years at the European Masters in Nuremberg in August 2023.
