Mark Joyce Makes Q Tour Maximum
Mark Joyce has compiled the fourth maximum break in the history of the WPBSA Q Tour during his Global Play-Off semi-final against Dylan Emery in Antalya, Türkiye.
The moment of perfection came in the third frame with Joyce trailing 2-0 in the best-of-eleven frame contest. The high-quality match had earlier seen Emery, an event winner on the Q Tour Europe series, hit a break of 120 in the opening frame.
Joyce’s achievement sees him become only the third player in Q Tour history to score a 147 break following China’s Zhao Xintong, who managed to do so in back-to-back events in Stockholm and Manchester, and Ukraine’s Iulian Boiko – who achieved the feat in Mons in January.

- Zhao Xintong – Q Tour Europe – Event 4 (Manchester, England)
