'In snooker we are equal' - Desislava Bozhilova flying high despite Ronnie O'Sullivan showing 'no mercy'
Desislava Bozhilova feels the glass ceiling has been broken in snooker, with referees judged on their ability to control the game. Michaela Tabb opened the door for women in snooker, qualifying as a professional referee in 2001 and taking charge of some high-profile occasions. Ad/> Tabb refereed two World Championship finals, in 2009 and 2012, and remains the only woman to do so before retiring in 2015.
