German Masters snooker: Tian Pengfei battles back to edge Reanne Evans as Noppon Saengkham crashes out, Joe Perry win

Tian Pengfei claimed the final three frames to complete a 5-4 win over 12-time women’s world champion Reanne Evans on the final day of German Masters qualifying.

Evans led 3-1 and 4-2 at Ponds Forge in Sheffield, but could not scramble over the winning line as Tian held his nerve in the decider to book his trip to Berlin for the last-64 stage next month.

Last year’s losing finalist Tom Ford secured his return flight to Germany with a 5-0 whitewash of defending women’s world champion Baipat Siripaporn with breaks of 91, 62 and 59 ensuring a smooth passage for the Leicester professional.

There was also a convincing 5-0 victory for former world championship semi-finalist David Gilbert, who pieced together breaks of 78, 56, 104 and 90 to advance to the finals venue at the Tempodrom.

But Noppon Saengkham joined Gary Wilson in departing the tournament in a 5-2 defeat to Ashley Carty.

Wilson lost 5-4 to Scott Donaldson on Wednesday.

Former Welsh Open champion Joe Perry is also heading for Germany after a 5-0 win over Ryan Thomerson.
