Career

In July 2017, Fan won five out of the last six frames to beat top seed Luo Honghao 7–6 and win the IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship at the tournament held in China. With this victory he was awarded a two-year Main Tour card for the professional snooker tour.[1][2]

He competed at the 2018 World Snooker Team Cup representing China with Zhang Jiankang but they lost to India 2–3 in the Round of 16.[3]

Fan lost his tour card at the end of the 2020 season after failing to make the top 64, but he regained it in the first Q School event by beating Michael White 4-2 in the final.

Technique

Fan has a very unusual technique. He is very left-eye dominant, and when playing the shot, his cue is to the left of his head. He has been coached by Roger Leighton.[4]
