Alexander Ursenbacher (born 26 April 1996) is a Swiss former professional snooker player from Rheinfelden. He is Switzerland's second professional snooker player after Darren Paris, who competed on the main tour in the mid-1990s. Having qualified for the main tour through Q-School in 2013, where he defeated Paul Wykes in his quarter-final match, Ursenbacher lost his professional status upon the expiry of his two-year tour card in 2015. ==Career== Ursenbacher started playing snooker in 2008. He has won a host of junior titles in his native Switzerland and has won the national championship twice, due in large part to his stays at Snooker Academies in Sheffield and Gloucester and individual training by former World Championship semi-finalist Ian McCulloch. In 2013 he turned professional by coming through Q School. After an early defeat in Event One, he played superbly throughout Event Two, losing just one frame in four matches and scoring a top break of 140. He beat nine-time Ladies World Champion Reanne Evans 4–1, then in the final round he saw off experienced former pro Paul Wykes 4–0.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Qatari And Swiss Qualify For Tour )〕 Ursenbacher experienced a tough start to his debut season as a professional, losing his first seven matches. His first win came in November at the minor-ranking Kay Suzanne Memorial Cup against former world champion Ken Doherty, and he was close to following it with another defeat of a world champion in the form of Peter Ebdon in the next round, ultimately losing 4–3.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?season=2013&player=1044 )〕 He failed to win another match until the season-ending World Championship, where he came back from 6–2 down to win 10–7 against David Morris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=David Morrs v Alexander Ursenbacher )〕 He lost in the next round 10–5 to Thepchaiya Un-Nooh.〔 Ursenbacher qualified for the first ranking event of the 2014/2015 season, the 2014 Wuxi Classic, by beating Kyren Wilson 5–4, but had to withdraw from the tournament due to being unable to enter China because of a visa problem. He defeated Martin O'Donnell 5–4 in the first round of qualifying for the Australian Goldfields Open, before losing 5–2 to Lyu Haotian and then lost a further 14 consecutive matches to be relegated from the tour as the world number 119.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?season=2014&player=239 )〕 Ursenbacher won five games in the first event of Q School to reach the final round where he lost 4–1 to Daniel Wells.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Swiss on a Roll )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Quartet Earn Tour Cards )〕 In the second event he was eliminated in the last 32 by Joe Roberts.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Ursenbacher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
