Overview

• Jackson Page became the first snooker player to achieve two maximum 147 breaks in a single match during his 10-2 victory over Allan Taylor in World Championship qualifying.
• The 23-year-old recorded his first 147 in the eighth frame on Sunday and repeated the feat in the 12th frame on Monday to seal the win in Sheffield.
• Page’s historic achievement earned him a £147,000 bonus, with the potential for additional rewards if his breaks remain the tournament’s highest.
• The victory advances Page to the final qualifying round, where he is one win away from competing at the Crucible, snooker’s most prestigious stage.
• Page, ranked 35th globally, revealed he rarely attempts maximum breaks in competition but felt compelled to go for the second after achieving the first.
