Wu Yize (Chinese: 吴宜泽; pinyin: Wú Yízé; born 14 October 2003) is a Chinese professional snooker player. In May 2022 he was named the World Snooker Tour’s ‘Rookie of the Year’.

Career

Wu Yize won the IBSF U-21 World Championship in 2018 when he was just fourteen years old, defeating Pongsakorn Chongjairak from Thailand 6–4 in the final.^[1]

He was given a wildcard entry to the 2019 International Championship in Daqing, where he lost 5–6 to John Higgins. He made the last 32 of the 2019 Six-red World Championship in Bangkok, after progressing through the group stage. He again faced Higgins, this time losing 4–6. At the 2019 World Open in Yushan, he faced Luca Brecel, losing 2–5 but making breaks of 85 and 130.^[2]

As a result of his performances on the 2021 CBSA China Tour, Wu was awarded a tour card for the 2021–22 and 2022–23 snooker seasons.^[3] In May 2022, at the end of his debut season, he was given the World Snooker Tour's 'Rookie of that Year' award following three last-32 ranking event appearances.^[4]

At the 2022 European Masters in August 2022, he defeated Luca Brecel, Rory McLeod and Ryan Day in a run through to the quarter-finals that was ended by Ali Carter.^[5] A relatively quiet season ensued, but during qualifying for the 2023 World Snooker Championship, Wu defeated Allan Taylor and compatriot Tian Pengfei, before facing the 2023 Snooker Shoot-Out champion Chris Wakelin. He came back from 1–5 and 4–7 down to beat Wakelin 10–8 in the final qualifying round to reach the televised stages, held at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, for the first time.^[6]
