		James Wattana has done much to popularise snooker around the world, particularly in the Far East.
		Wattana has twice reached the semi-finals of the Embassy World Championship, losing 16-9 to Jimmy White in 1993 after leading 5-0, and 17-13 to Stephen Hendry in 1997.
		But a run of poor form - and problems with his eyes - over the past three seasons has led to Wattana surrendering his place among the game’s elite and he scraped into the top 32 by the narrowest of margins this season.

		James Wattana produced a vintage performance in an engrossing match, to beat Ken Doherty 5-3, but he needed the help of an outrageous fluke to help him over the line.
		With the frame down to the colours Doherty pinned Wattana behind the fl and the escape, to hit a brown sitting in acres of green space looked improbable.
		But Wattana not only found a two cushion route to the brown, he caught it 'just right' and the brown deflected into the green pocket.

	REPORT - Semi-Final Showdown for Hunter and O’Sullivan - 2004 Grand Prix - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		O’Sullivan seized upon the first opportunity presented in compiling a routine 76 and in a contest where Selby was restricted to a meagre total of just 46 points, O’Sullivan had in contrast racked up an incredible 522 on route to confirming his position as favourite to lift the 2004 Grand Prix title.
		Although the Hunter whitewash of World No.33 James Wattana, lacked some of the spectacular high scoring runs of the O’Sullivan display, it was clear for all to see, just how great the gulf has become between Hunter and the majority of the professional ranks.
		Despite finding himself completely outclassed and 0-4 adrift, Wattana began brightly in frame five, but this momentary revival was to prove short lived as Hunter clinically wrapped up the tie by capturing the decisive frame 90-27.
