Focusing on closing the gender gap in the World Snooker Championship, Reanne Evans

The ten-time world champion in women’s tennis only received £450 for one of her international victories, but she is currently competing against men in the Crucible qualification rounds.

The course of Reanne Evans’s life might soon shift irrevocably. The 29-year-old is a ten-time global snooker champion, but not many people outside of the sport were aware of her until this week, when it was revealed that she is trying to become the first female qualifier for the world championship at the Crucible next month.

O’Sullivan has praised Evans’s approach, which involves using her left hand instead of the rest, yet the gender wage disparity still exists despite the support of some of the biggest male players in snooker.

“It is absurd,” Evans remarks. “Being the best sportswoman in your sport should bring in a small income. Simply said, it astounds me. We don’t play in major tournaments or on TV, and the level isn’t as high as it is for men, so I don’t expect to be making hundreds of thousands of pounds, but you shouldn’t be losing money. If the guys were in that circumstance, do you think they would all still be playing today? She wonders, “Would they be playing for £450?” Would

Sexism might also be an obstacle. Evans claims that disparaging remarks are typical. You receive it frequently. During a World Under-21s event I attended, a New Zealand referee was officiating women’s matches and stating that the women shouldn’t be playing. For that, he was eliminated from the competition. I immediately protested. Additionally, he was banned by his association.

Evans was raised in a household where her parents, two older brothers, and mother all played pool, so it was almost inevitable that she would pick up the game at some point. But she didn’t actually play a game until she was 13 years old, when she was hanging around in her “bunny slippers” at her family’s snooker hall. “My sibling arrived late for.

That day, Evans played a 20 break and wasn’t shocked by her immediate chemistry with the game. “It’s inherited,” she claims. She claims that when she was 16 years old, she had no idea that there were women’s competitions. When she filled out the papers to compete in the women’s world championship, she advanced to the semifinals on her first try.

She has become the most dominant female player in her sport after winning ten straight world titles more than ten years later. However, Evans has expanded her horizons in the previous year. She started playing against men in May of last year, moving beyond women’s snooker.

But when asked about her finest professional moment, Evans grins. In my case, it happened in the ladies’ restroom while I was seven and a half months pregnant. That, I believe, is my greatest accomplishment. I was winning so many world titles that I wasn’t sure if I should continue competing. Then I decided to simply go for it and have fun, so I did. I was compelled to utilize a rest, which I dislike, because I was unable to even use the table correctly. However, I prevailed. You see, it’s two against one since I have my daughter’s assistance,” she chuckles.
