Vafaei into 2023 UK Championship Quarter Four


TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Hossein Vafaei came from 3-1 down to beat Scott Donaldson 6-4 in the final qualifying round of the UK Championship.

“Scott played very well to go 3-1 up. The game was a bit slow so I changed something and got my game back and started scoring. I got the momentum and made it tough for him. At 3-3 he looked like making a very good clearance but then he missed the black and I potted it to go 4-3 ahead. It was great to finish the match with a century,” Vafaei said.

The Iranian snooker will face former World Champion Shaun Murphy in quarter four on Sunday.

Vafaei had defeated English snooker player Martin O'Donnell 6-0 in his first match.
