Ali Carter is making his PartyCasino.com Premier League debut this year.
Having been knocking on the door for two seasons, the Essex man gets the nod courtesy of his second career ranking tournament victory.
Carter made a fantastic start to the 2010/11 season by winning the first ranking event of the campaign. He previously had a poor record in tournaments in China, but corrected that in the best fashion by winning the Roewe Shanghai Masters.
He nearly went out at the quarter-final stage as Matthew Stevens was one ball away from beating him, but, after Stevens missed a tricky final black, Carter executed a brilliant long pot to win the match 5-4. He went on the beat Mark Selby 6-2 in the semis before battling to a 10-7 victory over surprise finalist Jamie Burnett. It was not a final of great quality, the standard undoubtedly affected by a slow cloth caused by the humid atmosphere, but for Carter, all that mattered was getting his name on the trophy. - http://www.premierleaguesnooker.com
