The Ball Run E74 – Back to my best in Hong Kong (but don’t mention the final!), after revenge on Robbo in Telford… and how I’ve lost three stone

Stuart Bingham chats to sports journalist James Colasanti about recent results, life on the World Snooker Tour… and life in general.

In this episode, Ball Run talks about his brilliant run to a first ranking final in six years with wins over Mark Williams, Wu Yize, Mark Selby and Judd Trump at Hong Kong’s World Grand Prix.

He also explains how a weight loss injection has helped him shed nearly three stone, and he sends condolences to the loved ones of three people in his life who passed away in early March 2025.

Coventry clashes were good preparation for Llandudno

STUART BINGHAM says his solid showing in the Championship League over the past week was the ideal preparation heading into this month’s Players Championship in Llandudno (March 6-12).

Ballrun progressed from Group 6 with three wins from six in Coventry and then won six out of six in Group 7 to move into a semi-final with Mark Selby.

And although he missed out on a final with John Higgins and the chance to secure a place in the Winners’ Group after a 3-2 defeat to the world No 1, Bingham was happy to get some solid match practice.

He said: “I’ve gone through the group stage yesterday with six out of six and played some good stuff and against Selby it just came down to one error in the decider and he cleared up.
