Graeme Dott

Graeme Dott (born 12 May 1977) is a Scottish professional snooker player and snooker coach from Larkhall.

He turned professional in 1994 and first entered the top 16 in 2001. He has won two ranking titles, the 2006 World Snooker Championship and the 2008 Malta Cup, and was runner-up in the World Championship in 2004. He reached number 2 in the world rankings in 2007, but a subsequent episode of clinical depression seriously affected his form, causing him to drop to number 28 for the 2009/2010 season. He then recovered his form, regained his top-16 ranking, and reached the World Championship semi final in 2010. In 2011, he published his autobiography, Frame of Mind: The Autobiography of the World Snooker Champion.

He is currently ranked 28th in the world, a ranking he has held since 2012. He has qualified for every World Championship since 1999, a feat only matched by two others: John Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan.
