Anthony Stephen Hamilton (born 29 June 1971) is an English professional snooker player. He has spent five seasons ranked among the game's elite Top 16 and fifteen in the Top 32, reaching a career-high of number ten in the world in the 1999/2000 season. Hamilton is a four-time World Championship quarter-finalist, a Masters semi-finalist and he compiled more than 300 century breaks during his long career. At the age of 45 he won his first ranking title in 2017, beating Ali Carter 9–6 in the final of the German Masters. In 2019, an operation to improve his eyesight was unsuccessful and gave him double vision, leading Hamilton to comment: "I knew instantly my career was over after that operation".[2][3]
