Jamie Cope Biography

Jamie Cope is one of the most popular and richest Snooker Player who was born on September 12, 1985 in Longton, England, United Kingdom. Jamie Cope, born 12 September 1985, is an English professional snooker player.

Cope was a finalist in two ranking tournaments: the 2006 Grand Prix, and the 2007 China Open. He also reached the semi-finals at the 2011 Masters. In September 2010, he reached 13th place, his highest ranking. However, a tremor developed that has been either essential tremor-like or yips, which causes his cue arm to shake. Cope’s condition led to a marked drop in rankings during the 2010s. This resulted in Cope being relegated from the main tour at season’s end 2016. Cope was well-known for his entertaining and fast style. He was also known as “Shotgun” because of his aggressive playing style and speed around the tables.

At the 2008 Shanghai Masters he scored the second competitive 147 of his career against Mark Williams, but lost their last-16 match 2–5. In the 2009 World Championship, Cope beat Joe Perry in the first round 10–6 and was close to upsetting twice world champion John Higgins in the second round. He was 12–10 up and was looking good to win the match, but ultimately Higgins surged back to win 13–12. This meant that he finished the season ranked at No. 18, still unable to break into the elite top 16. In 2009–10 season he never progressed beyond the second round of a ranking tournament. Although he qualified for World Championship, he lost 10–4 in the first round to Ali Carter. On top of this, an unexpected run to the final by Graeme Dott meant that Dott overtook Cope in the rankings and left Cope outside the world’s top 16 for another season, albeit at a career high ranking of 17th.

In the 2010/2011 season, the two-year ranking system was replaced with a rolling ranking, meaning that Cope was finally able to reach the top 16 in October 2010. Cope made his debut at the Masters, where he reached the semi- final stage with wins over Shaun Murphy and Mark King. He played Ding Junhui in the semi-final, but lost 3–6. He was knocked out of the World Championship in the last 16 following a 4–13 loss to Mark Williams, but despite this he finished the season ranked 15.

Cope broke Michael Holt’s record of 147 in a match against Cope on 23 October

2006. This was during the Grand Prix in Aberdeen. After John Higgins and Ronnie O’Sullivan, Cope was the third player to score a 147 at the tournament’s historical Grand Prix. On 15 October 2007, Tom Ford became the fourth player to score a 147 at Grand Prix. Cope beat Robert Milkins in 16th place to make it to the quarterfinals of ranking events. Cope defeated Joe Perry in a close match that required a ninth frame to decide the winner. After Perry’s slip-up on the yellow, Cope prevailed. Cope defeated Mark King in the semi-finals 6-3. However, he lost the final 5-9 to Neil Robertson, an Australian competitor. Cope was struggling early in the match, falling 2-8 behind. Cope briefly rallied to take the next three frames but Robertson won them all to clinch it. Cope defeated Barry Hawkins in the semi-finals and was then forced to snooker. He lost the final by five frames to 9.

Cope was a talented junior player, but he dropped out of the Main Tour after two very unsuccessful seasons. He won two of the four Challenge Tour tournaments for emerging players, and he was crowned the Challenge Tour’s top player in 2004-05. He was able to return to the Main Tour because of this. Pre-season, his intention was to finish the year among the Top 48. This is a difficult target that he actually achieved by default due to Paul Hunter’s illness. He made it to the 16th round of the season-opening Grand Prix tournament. He reached the same stage at the China Open and Welsh Open later in 2005-06. All three of those 16 defeats were 5-4. He won over Steve Davis, Joe Perry, John Parrott, and Alan McManus during the season.

Cope holds the distinction of being first player to achieve a verified 155 break in a practice frame back in 2005.

In the 2007–08 season, he reached the last 32 of the Shanghai Masters losing 2–5 to John Higgins. He failed to progress beyond the group stages in the Grand Prix 2007, finishing 6th in his group due to not winning a match. In the UK Championship Cope produced a very good performance in beating the then world number one John Higgins 9–3 in the last 32. He then beat Barry Hawkins 9–8 in the last 16 before losing to eventual champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan in the Quarter-finals. He made his World Championship debut in 2008, losing 10–9 to Peter Ebdon in the first round.
