Jack Lisowski
DOB: 25 June 1991
Chelmsford Essex
Jack took part in the 2007
Junior Pot Black and finished as a runner up. In the 2008/2009 season Jack was
the runner up to Xiao Gundong in the International Open series. He also gained the Paul Hunter
Scholarship, which saw him able to practise with professional players, all of
this while he was in the early stages of remission for Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
2009/2010 season saw Jack
finish first in the International open series, which saw him on the professional
tour. His first TV appearance came in February when he won a place on the Welsh
Open, where he had a great match against John Higgins. Experienced John Higgins
won 4-3 but this provided Jack with a good start to a promising 2011/2012
season.
2010 saw a few early exits
from the professional tour, but the PTC's looked favourable on him and in the
3rd event Jack won the semi finals after a 4-3 win over Mark Selby, which was a
solid win considering he was 3-1 down to Selby. He lost out in the end to Tom
Ford 4-0.
2011 was a much better year, for the youngster as he qualifed for his first TV ranking event. The Welsh Open, saw him in a close battle with eventual winner John Higgins. Jack was making good progress in the PTC events, as well as qualifers for larger events.
2012 has not been as lucky for Jack, but this younster will soon be top 16!
