Career

[edit]

Borg first turned professional in 1991, and regularly appeared as a wild card in theMalta Grand Prix, where throughout the event's history he defeated players includingNigel Bond andJohn Higgins. His best performances were reaching the semi-final in 1997 and 1998. He also competed as a wild card in theMalta Cup. However, in ranking events he has not had such success, his best finish being to the last 64, he has achieved this on three occasions, all in theGrand Prix. He has won theEBSA European Snooker Championships twice, the first in 2005 where he beatKristján Helgason 7–2 in the final, and the following year when he beatJeff Cundy 7–5.

In the second event of the2016 Q School, Alex Borg won againstAlexander Ursenbacher to gain a two-year tour card. He endured a difficult opening to the 2016/17 season, losing his first eight matches on tour. His best win of the season was a 5–1 victory overJack Lisowski at the2017 China Open.

Borg came through the third event of the2019 Q School by winning six matches to earn a two-year card on theWorld Snooker Tour for the2019–20 and2020–21 seasons.[2] In 2019, the Maltese Billiard and Snooker Association (MBSA) announced that he will be the captain of the Maltese Team during the2019 World Cup held in China alongside his teammate Brian Cini. He also represented Malta withTony Drago and Duncan Bezzina during the past years.

In 2021, Alex Borg ended his career as a professional snooker player after being dropped from the tour. Despite this, he still plays snooker in his home country and till date, he is currently recognised as one of the most active players affiliated with theMalta Billiards & Snooker Association.
