No Crucible return for White after world championship qualifying defeat
Jimmy White’s bid to reach his first World Championship since 2006 has ended in the second round of qualifying after a 10-4 defeat to Martin O’Donnell. The 60-year-old White, ranked No 73 in the world, has not reached the first round at the Crucible in 17 years but was hopeful of a surprise return this year after finding some form at the UK Championship and the German Masters.
