The Lublin-born prospect had already made history last year by becoming the youngest professional on the World Snooker Tour. Speaking to TVP World alongside his father, Kamil, Szubarczyk said his ambition is not only to win the World Championship but to surpass the record of seven titles. His breakthrough comes as Polish snooker gains momentum more broadly, with Antoni Kowalski becoming the first Pole to reach the Crucible, the home of the World Championship in the English city of Sheffield. The developments suggest Poland, long a niche market for the sport, may now have the talent base to push snooker further into the mainstream.
