14-Year-Old Szubarczyk Aims to Break O'Sullivan's Record and Qualify for World Championships

Posted : 07 April 2025

A 14-year-old snooker sensation, Szubarczyk from Poland, is poised to make history by breaking Ronnie O'Sullivan's long-standing record and becoming the youngest player ever to qualify for the World Championships at the Crucible. The young prodigy has already gained attention on the snooker circuit, winning both the U16 and U18 European Championship titles in March. His remarkable performance in the open-age event, where he reached the final before losing to 34-year-old Liam Highfield, earned him a two-year card offer for the World Snooker Tour (WST).

 

Szubarczyk's rise has not gone unnoticed, with three-time World Champion Mark Williams praising his skills, noting that the teenager is not far from the level O'Sullivan was at the same age. The Polish player is now aiming to break O'Sullivan's 33-year-old record by qualifying for the 2025 World Championships.

 

O'Sullivan, who set the record as the youngest-ever qualifier at the Crucible in 1992 at the age of 16, went on to debut at 17 years and five months. Szubarczyk has the opportunity to surpass both O'Sullivan's and 2023 Champion Luca Brecel’s records when he heads into qualifying in Sheffield on April 8, with the final round matches scheduled for April 15.

 

In his first match of the qualifying rounds, Szubarczyk faces Scotland’s Dean Young in a best-of-19-frames tie. A win would not only secure him a spot in the next round but also make him the youngest player ever to win a World Championship qualifying match, surpassing Liam Davies, who previously held the record at 15 years and 277 days. With four consecutive victories needed to secure a spot at the Crucible, the young player is making waves in the snooker world and could soon make history on the sport’s biggest stage.
