Professional biography
She is the first Chinese woman to play full-time on the WPBA Tour, and has been nicknamed the "Queen of Nine-Ball".[2][3]
WPBA Rookie of the Year in 2006
Pan was named WPBA Rookie of the Year in 2006 and finished the season ranked #13. Pan won her first WPBA tournament at the 2007 Great Lakes Classic.[4] Later she won the 2007 WPA World Nine-ball Championship[5] held in Taoyuan City, Taiwan. Pan is a friendly rival of fellow Asian WPBA player Kim Ga-young; the two met in the finals of the 2007 Carolina Women's Billiard Classic, with Kim prevailing 7 to 6 in the WPBA's first all-Asian championship match.[6] Kim and Pan finished the 2007 WPBA season ranked #2 and #3, respectively, behind perennially top-ranked Allison Fisher. Pan is also a good friend of Chinese snooker player Ding Junhui. In 2008, Pan won the BCA GenerationPool.com title on the WPBA tour, and in 2010 added a WPBA major to her resume at the Tour Championships. She went undefeated in Niagara Falls that year defeating Kim Ga-young of South Korea in the semi-finals 7–6, and Karen Corr of Northern Ireland 7–4 in the final.
Matches against Ronnie O'Sullivan
In December 2013, Pan participated in an exhibition match (9-ball and snooker) against snooker ace Ronnie O'Sullivan in Yanzhou, which she won 7–6 in 9-ball and lost 2–1 in snooker 6-red.[7]
In November 2018, a second exhibition match between Pan and O'Sullivan took place in China, as well. The professional 9-ball champion Pan won with 7-6 [8]
