The 2022 World Women's Snooker Championship was a women's snooker tournament that took place at the Ding Junhui Snooker Academy in Sheffield, England from 11 to 14 February 2022.[1] It was the first staging of the World Women's Snooker Championship since 2019, following an 18-month suspension of the World Women's Snooker Tour between March 2020 and August 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In addition to receiving the newly renamed Mandy Fisher Trophy, the winner of the tournament earned a place on the professional World Snooker Tour from the start of the 2022–23 snooker season.[3]
Reanne Evans was the defending champion, having defeated Nutcharut Wongharuthai 6–3 in the 2019 final to win her 12th women's world title.[4] However, Evans lost 1–4 to Wendy Jans in the quarter-finals, the first time in her career that she had not reached the semi-finals of the tournament.[5] Three-time champion Ng On Yee came from 0–3 behind in her quarter-final against Wongharuthai to force a deciding frame, but Wongharuthai won the match 4–3 on the final black.[5][6] Their quarter-final losses meant that no former champion reached the semi-finals.[7]
The final was contested as the best of 11 frames between Wongharuthai and Jans. Although Wongharuthai took an initial 2–1 lead, Jans won four of the next five frames to lead 5–3. However, Wongharuthai won the next two to force a deciding frame. Jans trailed by 40 points in the decider and required a snooker, but she recovered the deficit, and the title was decided in a duel over the final black ball. Jans had an opportunity to pot the black into the yellow pocket but missed, leaving the black over the middle, which Wongharuthai potted to clinch her first women's world title.[8][9]
Wongharuthai became the first Thai player to win the women's world title and the 13th different woman to win the title since the tournament began in 1976. She was the first new champion since 2015, and the only player besides Evans or Ng to win the title in 19 years.
