60-year-old Martin O’Donnell is defeated 10–4 by the former professional.
Since 2006, White has not been a main draw.
Jimmy White lost to Martin O’Donnell 10–4 in the second qualifying round, ending his hopes of winning a World Championship for the first time since 2006. The sixty-year-old White, who is currently rated 73rd in the world, has not advanced past the first round of the Crucible in seventeen years, but he was hoping for a surprising comeback this year after hitting his stride at the German Masters and the UK Championship.
However, in the first session on Wednesday at the Institute of Sport in Sheffield, the six-time world finalist fell behind 7-2 and was unable to rally to tie the score.
White posted on Twitter, “A huge thank you to everyone for their support.” “We still value your support after all these years. It was a disappointing way to close the season, but we still adore that game.
This week’s first qualifying round saw Stephen Hendry, who defeated White in four of those finals, lose to James Cahill. On the opposite end of the experience spectrum, 16-year-old Stan Moody lost to Zhang Anda in the second round.
Up until next Wednesday, 128 players must go through a rigorous qualification process in order to determine the 16 players who will advance to the main draw and compete against the world’s top 16.

Do you recall Liz? She appears to be a long-gone comic act these days. Rather, Sunak descended even more into the Conservative psychodrama through the looking-glass.
There have been no better pictures elsewhere. Donald Trump is currently a lot of people’s favorite to win the US presidency once more. The conflict in Ukraine has continued with little sign of resolution. It’s all too easy to see how the rest of the world could become weary of the fight and lose interest. And there’s the conflict in the.
But optimism is renewed with a new year. Numerous nations, including the US and the UK, are holding elections. We must have hope for change. that a better solution is achievable.
