Mark Davis (born 12 August 1972) is an English professionalsnooker player fromSt Leonards inSussex. He became professional in 1991, and for many years was considered something of ajourneyman; however, he vastly improved his game in the late 2000s, and as a result in 2012 made his debut in the top 16. The highlights of his career so far have been winning theBenson & Hedges Championship in 2002 (earning him an appearance at theMasters), and thesix-red snooker world championships three times (in2009,2012 and2013). Davis reached his first ranking event final in 2018, losing toStuart Bingham in the final of theEnglish Open.
Davis made his debut in the main draw of theWorld Championship in1994, losing in the first round toTerry Griffiths. In thefollowing year he won his first match at the Crucible, beatingKen Doherty in the first round before being knocked out byPeter Ebdon in the second. Davis came close to losing his Main Tour status in the late 1990s, but recovered in the early 2000s to return to the top 48. Reaching the quarter-finals of the 2001Regal Scottish tournament, his second career quarter-final, was the main catalyst for this. His success in reaching the 2008 World Championship came after two poor seasons, leaving him at No. 58 in the rankings. He opened the 2008/2009 season strongly by qualifying for theNorthern Ireland Trophy and defeating local hopeJoe Swail 5–4 in the first round, before beatingDing Junhui 5–4 in the last 32 in one of the best wins of his career. He was beaten 5–2 in the last 16 byAli Carter. He followed this up by also qualifying for theBahrain andUK Championships, though in the latter he was forced to pull out early in his last-32 match againstJoe Perry, due to a stomach upset.[2] He exceeded his 2007/2008 ranking points total after only five of the eight events of the 2008/2009 season. Davis won theSix-Red World Championship in 2009. In 2010, he reached the second round of theWorld Championship for the first time in 15 years by defeating sixth seedRyan Day.
He also qualified for the 2010 Shanghai Masters event where he reached the last-eight beatingMarco Fu andStephen Maguire on the way before surrendering a 4–1 lead againstJamie Burnett and going out 5–4. However, his strong performances continued and took him to a career-high ranking of 18.
Davis qualified for all but two of the ranking events in the2011–12 season.[3] He could only advance beyond the first round in theAustralian Goldfields Open, where he lost 3–5 toMark Selby in the last 16.[3] Davis played in all 12 of the minor-rankingPlayers Tour Championship events during the season, reaching the final ofEvent 4, where he lost to Selby 0–4. This result was a large contributory factor to Davis finishing 16th on the PTCOrder of Merit, inside the top 24 who made theFinals.[4] At the Finals he beatTom Ford, before losing toStephen Maguire in the last 16.[3] Davis' season came to an end when he suffered a heavy 2–10 loss, while feeling unwell, in theWorld Championship toAli Carter.[5] He finished the season ranked world number 19, with the elite top 16 places still eluding him.[6]
Davis started the2012–13 season very successfully by reaching the first ranking event semi-final of his 21-year professional career at theWuxi Classic.[7] His run included wins over local favouriteDing Junhui,Jamie Burnett andGraeme Dott to set up a last 4 clash withStuart Bingham who had won the previous week'sAsian PTC.[7][8] He trailed 0–4 at the mid-session interval, before coming back to play inspired snooker to lead 5–4 in the best of 11 frames match. However, Bingham then levelled the contest before compiling a 134 break to win the decider and end Davis' hopes of a first ranking final.[9] At theSix-red World Championship he claimed the title by defeatingShaun Murphy 8–4 in the final.[10] The winner's cheque of£40,000 is the biggest of his career to date.[11] In theAustralian Goldfields Open Davis saw offJack Lisowski (5–2), home favouriteNeil Robertson (5–1) andMartin Gould (5–2), to reach his second successive ranking semi-final.[12] There he played close friendBarry Hawkins and was beaten 4–6.[13]
At theUK Championship he beatCao Yupeng 6–1 in the first round and led three-time championJohn Higgins 5–2 in the second round, before withstanding a fightback from Higgins which included a147, to win a decider.[14] Davis saw offMatthew Stevens 6–4 in the quarter-finals, however his lack of experience on the big stage showed in his semi-final againstMark Selby, as he was beaten 4–9.[15]Davis qualified for the2013 Masters tournament thanks to his form earning him a place in the top 16. At his first outing in the tournament for 13 years he faced world number nineMark Allen in the first round and lost 2–6.[16] This began a dip in form for Davis as he lost in the qualifying round of theWelsh Open, the first round of both theWorld Open andPlayers Tour Championship Finals and in the second round of theChina Open.[12] However, he was still ranked 16 in the world at the cut-off for the2013 World Championship,[17] but was forced to qualify due to world number 28 and reigning championRonnie O'Sullivan deciding to defend his title after taking a year away from professional snooker.[18][19] O'Sullivan was therefore the number one seed, meaning Davis dropped out of the top 16 who were guaranteed a spot in the event.[20] Davis beatLiang Wenbo 10–6 in qualifying.[12] He faced four-time championJohn Higgins in the first round and claimed the best win of his career by winning 10–6 and playedStuart Bingham in the last 16.[21] The match proved to be very tight, but from 10 to 10 Bingham pulled away to win 13–10 with Davis saying afterwards that he had done well to win 10 frames such was his disappointment at the way he had performed.[22] However, he finished the season inside the top 16 for the very first time, at world number 13.[23]
Davis reached the quarter-finals of theAustralian Goldfields Open but lost 5–3 toMark Selby.[24]At the2013 Six-red World Championship he defended his title by defeatingNeil Robertson 8–4 in the final.[25] Only a week later he won his next tournament, theGeneral Cup in Hong Kong, beating Robertson again in the final, this time by 7–2.[26] A second ranking event quarter-final of the year came at theShanghai Masters with comfortable 5–2 and 5–1 victories overAli Carter andJohn Higgins. However, he then squandered a 4–2 lead overXiao Guodong to be beaten 5–4.[27] At theMasters he forced a decider in the first round againstMark Selby, having been 4–0 down but lost the 55-minute final frame to be defeated 6–5.[28] In the quarter-finals of theGerman Masters, Davis lost in an extremely close match withRod Lawler 5–4.[29] Davis was an automatic qualifier for theWorld Championship for the first time in his career this season and said before the event that his minimum goal was to win through to the quarter-finals, but he was beaten 10–5 in the first round byDominic Dale.[30][31] Davis hung on to his top 16 ranking at the end of the season as he was the world number 16.[32]

Davis began his season at theAustralian Goldfields Open, with his quarter-final match againstStuart Bingham containing ten breaks above 50 in the nine frames played, which Davis edged 5–4.[33] In Davis' fourth ranking event semi-final he lost 6–2 to home favouriteNeil Robertson.[34] His second quarter-final in a ranking event of the year came at theUK Championship, but he was defeated 6–1 byJudd Trump. He followed that up with a semi-final showing at the minor-rankingLisbon Open where he was whitewashed 4–0 byStephen Maguire.[35] Davis was beaten 3–2 byStuart Bingham in the final of the non-rankingChampionship League.[36]
Davis' consistent season continued as he restrictedJohn Higgins to just 38 points to thrash him 4–0 in reaching the last eight of theIndian Open, but he lost 4–2 againstThepchaiya Un-Nooh.[37] Davis progressed through to his fourth ranking quarter-final of the season, the most in a single season of his career, at thePTC Grand Final by eliminatingNeil Robertson 4–1.[38] He was unable to play in the semi-finals however, as Bingham knocked him out 4–1.[39] Davis earned a 4–0 early advantage overDing Junhui at theWorld Championship and won the first session 5–3. However, he went on to be beaten 10–7.[40]
Davis' first quarter-final of the2015–16 season came at theShanghai Masters, courtesy of 5–1 and 5–3 wins overMichael White andShaun Murphy, but he was beaten 5–1 byMark Allen. He lost in the third round of theUK Championship 6–4 toStephen Maguire.[41] Davis claimed theWorld Seniors Championship, his first televised title in the UK, by seeing offDarren Morgan in the final.[42] He failed to qualify for theWorld Championship for the first time since 2011 after losing 10–5 toZhang Anda.[41]
Davis lost 4–1 toMark Selby in the quarter-finals of thePaul Hunter Classic. At theEuropean Masters he beatShaun Murphy 4–1 andLiang Wenbo 4–3 to reach another quarter-final and was defeated 4–1 byRonnie O'Sullivan. His third quarter-final of the year came at theScottish Open after he squeezed pastMark Williams 4–3, but he was heavily beaten 5–1 byMarco Fu.[43] Davis knocked outRonnie O'Sullivan 4–3 in the second round of theWelsh Open after being 3–0 down and then made the event's high break of 144 as he eliminatedFergal O'Brien 4–2.[44] Davis lost 4–3 toScott Donaldson in the fourth round. He could not reach theWorld Championship for the second year in a row after being defeated 10–7 in the qualifiers byYan Bingtao.[43]
Davis lives with his wife Claire, their son Jack and their daughter Milly.[45]
