'Anything over 147 is really rare' – Marco Fu hits 149 break ahead of 2022 World Snooker Championship return
Marco Fu feels a unique 149 break is «proof» that he is ready to return to the professional circuit at next week's World Championship qualifiers in Sheffield. The former Grand Prix, Australian Open and Scottish Open holder last played a competitive match before the pandemic – losing 4-2 to Ding Junhui at the Welsh Open in February 2020 – but returns on a wild card to face Ian Burns on Tuesday afternoon in his first match of a possible four to reach the Crucible at the nearby English Institute of Sport.
