China's Zhang Anda makes the first maximum 147 break of this year's UK Championship, in his first-round match against compatriot Lei Peifan.
China's Zhang Anda made the first maximum 147 break of this year's UK Championship in his 6-3 first-round win over compatriot Lei Peifan.
His maximum break is the 21st in the history of the UK Championship, the 208th ever in professional snooker and the sixth in the 2024-25 season. "This is my third time making a maximum and this time it just felt different as the UK Championship is a big event so I'm just very happy," said Zhang. Zhang's 147 came when he was 2-1 down on table two, with the mid-session interval immediately following. He then won four of the next five frames to move into the last 16, where on Thursday he will play England's Stuart Bingham, who fought back from 5-2 down to beat Mark Williams.
