Lisowski is October Player of the Month
Jack Lisowski has been voted as the WPBSA Players’ Player of the Month for October following his breakthrough maiden victory at the 2025 Northern Ireland Open in Belfast.
The popular 34-year-old ended his long-awaited wait for a first ranking event title in style following an emotional 9-8 success against friend and current world number one Judd Trump.
The win helped him to secure a landslide victory in this month’s players vote with 78%, ahead of Liam Pullen and world champion duo Shaun Murphy and Mark Williams in a tie for third position.
Following his title win in Belfast, Lisowski told WST: “I have thought about this moment since I was six or seven years old, it’s surreal,” said Lisowski. “Judd has been my best friend since I was 14 and he was there with me in a restaurant in Hong Kong eight months ago when I got the message about my dad. He has been the best friend I could ask for, the closest thing I could have to a brother. When my dad died I said to my friend that he would never see me win a title. But my friend said I could still do it for my mum. This is for him and for my mum.”
