Stuart Bingham

Stuart Bingham (born 21 May 1976) is an English professional snooker player who is currently ranked 13th in the world. As an amateur, he won the 1996 IBSF World Snooker Championship, but then spent many seasons as a journeyman professional before improving his form to become a top-ranked player in his thirties. He first entered the top 32 in the world rankings for the 2006/2007 season, and first reached the top 16 during the 2011/2012 season.

Bingham won his first ranking title at the 2011 World Open, and then his second at the 2012 International Championship, before reaching the final of his first Triple Crown event, the 2012 UK Championship, where he lost 5-10 to Neil Robertson. He retained the International Championship in 2013. As a player, Bingham is regarded as one of the most hard-working, dedicated professionals currently playing the professional game. However, due to perceived good luck in pressure situations, he is nicknamed "Ball-Run."
