About Yan Bingtao

Yan Bingtao (born 16 February 2000) is a Chinese professional snooker player. He is the youngest player to win the Amateur World Snooker Championship, his 8–7 victory over Muhammad Sajjad in the final of the 2014 event earning him a place on the sport's main tour.
Having qualified to compete on the main tour for the 2015/2016 season, Yan was unable to obtain a UK Visa, and decided to dedicate the year to completing his education in China; when he resumed his career in 2016, he became the first active professional to have been born in the 2000s. He became the youngest ever Ranking event finalist at the 2017 Northern Ireland Open. He was leading Mark Williams 8–7 in the final and was one frame from winning the title, but Williams won the match 9–8.
