Worst snooker shot? Robert Milkins hits seated opponent with the white

The clean-cut and classy game of snooker was turned into a contact sport in Thepchaiya Un-Nooh’s win over Robert Milkins during the BetVictor Welsh Open qualifiers.

Un-Nooh took a 4-2 victory, but not before taking a shot from Milkins which caught both the Thai player, and Milkins himself, by surprise.

The Thai rocket is one of the fastest snooker players in the game, with an average of 17 seconds per shot.

Little did Un-Nooh know that he would be using that lightning speed to avoid a dangerously mishit cue ball during his qualifying matchup.

During the fourth frame, Milkins was attempting what appeared a textbook shot on the green, which was neatly lined up for him in front of the corner pocket.

But to say the Englishman overcomplicated things would be a huge understatement, as he struck the cue ball too deep, scooping it up and over the green, before taking a mighty bounce off the table and hitting his opponent.

Un-Nooh was startled, jumping to his feet, and almost dropping his cue in surprise.

But judging by the defeated look displayed on the culprit’s face, that did not compare to the embarrassment felt my Milkins, who could do nothing but awkwardly saunter back to his seat and stare aimlessly as he awaited his opportunity to get himself back on track.

Still, Milkins did not let the shot define his game, and he took the fourth frame over his opponent despite the hiccup.

But if his misplaced shot had secretly been an attempt to sabotage Un-Nooh, it was to no success, as his rival took the final two frames for a comfortable win after a somewhat uncomfortable moment.
