SNS GroupThe World Snooker Tour looks set to have its youngest ever professional player after nominating 14-year-old Michal Szubarczyk for a two-year card.
The Polish teenager reached the final of the European Championship after clinching the under-16 and under-18 titles earlier this week in Antalya, Turkey.
In the main event, Szubarczyk defeated Maksim Kostov, Daan Leyssen, Chris Peplow and Nicolas Mortreux before beating former professional Harvey Chandler 4-3 in the semi-finals.
He will now face 34-year-old Liam Highfield, who has already earned a two-year WST card via the WPBSA Q Tour Global play-offs, in Saturday’s final.
Due to Highfield already gaining his WST card for the next two years, the governing body’s nomination will be passed on to Szubarczyk, should he wish to accept.
