MORE ON STUART BINGHAM, SCORES, RESULTS, EVENTS AND TOURNAMENTS.

Stuart’s big breakthrough on the global stage came during the 2000 World Championship. Then a relatively unknown player, he produced one of the Crucible’s greatest upsets by defeating the defending champion and world number one, Stephen Hendry, in the first round.

The match was a grueling affair, but Stuart showed immense composure to win 10–7. Following the victory, Hendry praised the youngster’s performance, marking Stuart as a player to watch. However, it would take several more years of hard work on the circuit before he consistently challenged for the game’s biggest prizes.

Stuart dug deep during those years, maintaining a rigorous practice schedule in his native Essex. His persistence finally paid off in 2011 when he won his first ranking title at the Australian Goldfields Open, defeating Mark Williams in the final. This victory acted as a catalyst for the most successful period of his career.

Bingham’s name became a permanent fixture at the top of the rankings, but the crowning achievement came at the 2015 World Championship. Entering the tournament as the tenth seed, he defeated stars like Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump to reach the final against Shaun Murphy.

He produced a masterful display of break-building to win 18–15, becoming the oldest first-time World Champion since 1978. Shortly after, Stuart added the 2020 Masters title to his resume, defeating Ali Carter in the final to become the oldest winner of that tournament as well.

During his career, Stuart has recorded nine maximum 147 breaks, a testament to his scoring prowess. His story is often cited as an inspiration to younger players, proving that perseverance and belief can lead to the very top of the sport, regardless of age. He continues to be a top-16 mainstay and a formidable opponent for any player on the professional tour.
