Shokat Ali (born 4 March 1970) is a snooker player who has represented Pakistan in international tournaments.[1][2]

Career

Ali turned professional in 1991.[1] He appeared on the BBC1 game programme Big Break in 1997.[3]

At the 1998 Asian Games, he won a gold medal in the snooker singles, a bronze medal in the snooker doubles and a bronze medal in the snooker team event.[4][5]

He defeated Jimmy White to reach the last 16 of the 1998 Grand Prix.[1] At the 2001 Thailand Masters, Ali reached the quarter-finals, beating Ronnie O'Sullivan en route.[6]

In 2005, his cue was stolen from his car parked at his garage in Lancashire,[7] and he suffered a deterioration of results as he struggled to find another cue he could show his best form using.

He represented Pakistan in the 2006 Asian Games held in Doha, Qatar.[8]

He dropped off the game's main professional tour in 2007, but showed signs of a return to form in 2008, winning an event on the secondary PIOS Tour.[9][1]
