Overview
- At Players Championship 30, he beat Pero Ljubic 6–5, Callan Rydz 6–3 and Connor Scutt 6–1 with a 103.57 average in the latter, before a 0–6 loss to Chris Dobey in the last 16.
- The run earned £2,500, taking his ProTour prize money to £27,250 and his overall position to 97th on the ProTour Order of Merit.
- Adjusted for players already qualified via the main Order of Merit, he sits effectively 32nd, inside the 40 ProTour berths for Alexandra Palace.
- Five ProTour events remain before the cutoff, so his position could still change despite the strong cushion he currently holds.
- Coverage differs on his status, with BILD declaring him qualified while SPORT1 and ran.de say he is very close; his surge caps a comeback after losing his Tour Card in 2022 and regaining it in 2025.
