Ali Carter Biography

Ali Carter is one of the most popular and richest Snooker Player who was born on July 25, 1979 in Colchester, England, United Kingdom. In both his 2008 and 2012 World Championship appearances, he lost to Ronnie O’Sullivan.

Carter turned professional in 1996. He first emerged in 1999, winning the WPBSA Association Young Player of the Year award after winning the Benson and Hedges Championship in 1999 – this earned him a wild card place in the Masters. He also reached the semi-finals of the 1999 Grand Prix. It was eight years before he reached another ranking semi-final, the 2007 Malta Cup.

In 2003, Carter was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. He has partly controlled this by limiting dairy and wheat/gluten in his diet.

He had a son named Max in October of 2009. He’s survived testicular cancer, which also later metastasized to his lung.

He completed a max break at the 2008 World Championships, becoming the 63rd player to do so in competition. He was the second ranked player in the world for two months in late 2010.

Carter scored his first 147 break on 29 April at the 2008 World Championship, one day after Ronnie O’Sullivan had made one in the same tournament. This made Carter the sixth man to achieve this feat at the Crucible (the eighth made there, as O’Sullivan had previously achieved it three times), and the first to have done so without previously winning a tournament. It is the first time two 147s have been made in the same event.

Carter has at times missed out on opportunities from winning positions, an extreme example being in the first round of the 2007 UK Championship, when Carter led Barry Hawkins 8–3 before Hawkins won the next six frames to win 9–8. However, Carter got his own back on Hawkins during the 2008 World Championship by beating him 10–9 in a ‘controversial’ finale. Hawkins had levelled the match to 9–9, when the players were pulled out of the arena to allow the evening matches to begin. They returned after one of the evening’s two matches had been completed – on a table they had not previously played on. Hawkins felt this break interrupted his momentum, handing the match to Carter. He followed this by defeating two former champions in succession; provisional World Number 1 Shaun Murphy 13–4 in the second round and then 2002 winner Peter Ebdon 13–9 in the quarter-final. In the semi-final on 4 May 2008 he beat Joe Perry 17–15 to book a place against Ronnie O’Sullivan in the final. Carter lost the final 8–18.

Carter now has a 5–4 record against Hendry; conversely, he has only beaten Ronnie O’Sullivan in the 2nd round of the 2018 World Snooker Championship 13–9, having lost 16 of the last 17 encounters.
