Graeme Dott Biography

Graeme Dott is one of the most popular and richest Snooker Player who was born on May 12, 1977 in Larkhall, Scotland, United Kingdom. Graeme Dott (born 12 May 1977) is a Scottish professional snooker player as well as a Snooker coach from Larkhall. He became a professional player in 1994, and made his debut into his top sixteen in the year 2001. He has taken home two top ranking titles in his 2006 World Snooker Championship and the 2007 China Open, and was second at both World Championships of 2004 and the 2010 World Championships. He was ranked 2 among the top world ranking players of 2007 however a subsequent bout of clinical depression severely affected his performance, leading him to drop to 28 , for 2009-2010 season. Then, he regained his form, and regained his top-16 ranking and made it to the third World Championship final. He also released an autobiography that he wrote, Frame of Mind: The Autobiography of the World Snooker Champion. In reaching the semifinals of the 2020 World Grand Prix, Dott became the first player to make the final of a ranking event during four distinct decades. The first of which was in 1999 at the Scottish Open.

In January 2006 Alex Lambie was diagnosed with kidney cancer that was terminal. Even though he survived to watch Dott take home at the World Championship in May of the same year, he passed away on December 16, 2006, during the time that Dott was competing during the UK Championship. A few weeks later, Elaine, who was pregnant, was diagnosed with an undiagnosed cancer scare after doctors found potentially cancerous cysts in her Ovaries. Even though she did not turn out to be suffering from cancer, she did suffer a miscarriage as Dott was competing at the 2007 Masters. Following these events, Dott entered a severe depression that affected his dedication to training and his performance during matches. He was unable to play in fifteen professional games in a row , and fell down the ranks, falling off the list of top sixteen. The medication he received later helped him regain his spot in the top 16 however, he is expecting his struggle with depression to be for the rest of his life. Dott with his spouse have an additional child with a daughter named Lucy born in the month of November in 2008.

The victory over Ebdon took Dott’s ranking up to number 6 for the 2006/2007 season, a career high at the time.

The 2007–08 season was more of a struggle for Dott, who described his late-2007 form as “hopeless… nowhere near to playing a good enough standard”. His season started promisingly, as he reached the semi-finals of the season- opening 2007 Shanghai Masters, where he defeated Michael Holt 5–4, tournament favourite Ding Junhui 5–1, and Stephen Lee 5–4, before losing his semi-final against Ryan Day 2–6, to close the gap on world number 1 John Higgins, who went out in the second round; however, Dott then won no further matches that season; a run of twelve consecutive defeats, including all five group matches in the 2007 Grand Prix, started from October 2007 onwards. In the 2007 UK Championship he was eliminated in the first round, 7–9, by unseeded Dave Harold, while in the Masters he lost 5–6 to eventual runner-up Stephen Lee for the third successive year. Another first-round elimination followed in the 2008 Malta Cup, this time to Mark Williams. In the 2008 Welsh Open he lost his opening match against Michael Judge 4–5. In frame 7, when leading 4–2, he missed the pack completely with his break-off after miscuing, and also failed to hit the bunch on his next shot after being snookered. Dott announced that he might miss the 2008 World Championship due to personal reasons, and his manager said he had been suffering from depression. However, he did eventually participate in the tournament, but was eliminated in the first round for the second year in a row, losing 7–10 to Joe Perry, dropping him to number 13 in the new world rankings, and finishing the season outside the top 32 in the one-year rankings.

Dott has a love for Rangers and was a proud display of the World Championship trophy at Ibrox the ground they play at during the half-time period of Rangers their final league game against Hearts on May 7, 2006.

It is the longest-running final in history and at that time, the last to be completed (John Higgins’s win against Mark Selby the following year is now the title). Previous record-holder was the iconic final frame black ball finish final in 1985 that featured Englishman Steve Davis and Northern Irishman Dennis Taylor, which ended at 12:19 a.m. (GMT). The Dott-Ebdon game ended just half an hour later even though it had three less frames due to the slower overall pace of the game and the fact the afternoon session included six frames instead of the standard eight. In addition, at more than 7 hours that 27th frame was then the lengthiest in the history of World Championship, beating the previous record of 70 minutes established by Canadian Cliff Thorburn and Welshman Doug Mountjoy, a record that would remain in place until.

After having won the UK Under-19 Championship in 1992 and the Scottish Amateur Championship in 1993, Dott turned professional in 1994. He gradually climbed up the rankings to the top sixteen in 2001, and remained there until 2009. The first time he made it to the quarterfinals of the 1996 Welsh Open and qualifying for the World Championship for the first time in 1997. Dott was second in 1999’s Scottish Open, the 2001 British Open, the 2004 World Championship and the 2005 Malta Cup. Dott scored his only breaking of 147 in his 1999 British Open.

Dott shone in the 2006 UK Championship as well, reaching the semi-finals, where he lost 7–9 to Stephen Hendry (a player who Dott never managed to beat in a ranking tournament) after an earlier 7–5 lead. He briefly became the provisional world number one in the rankings system after overcoming Jamie Cope 9–5 to win the 2007 China Open, his second ranking tournament win. Prior to this, he disliked going to China, not helped by a disastrous match in 2002. However, going into the 2007 World Championship as defending champion, he suffered a shock 7–10 defeat in the first round to Ian McCulloch in the opening match of the tournament, which dented his prospects of remaining world number 1. Newly crowned world champion John Higgins overtook him. The loss against McCulloch also maintained the “Crucible curse”, as Dott became the seventeenth consecutive first-time champion to lose his title the very next year.
