Onyee Ng made the highest ever break by a woman in a World Snooker Tour event with a 137 during her BetVictor English Open round one tie with Liam Highfield in Brentwood.
Her break eclipsed the 133 made by Allison Fisher in the 1992 Dubai Classic. Ng’s run came in the second frame against Highfield to level the score at 1-1. She eventually lost the match 4-2.
Earlier this season, Hong Kong’s 34-year-old Ng became the first woman to reach the last 32 of a ranking event when she appeared at that stage of the BetVictor Championship League.
Mink Nutcharut is believed to be the only woman to make a 147 during a practice match, which she achieved in 2019.
