SightRight stars Stuart Bingham and Martin Gould both reached the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix last week in an excellent showing in North Wales.
Gould came agonisingly close to reaching the final but was undone by a sensational comeback at the hands of Judd Trump, who eventually won the tournament.
Former Snooker Shoot-Out Champion Gould, who had already dumped out world number one and World Champion Mark Selby, played excellently to lead Trump 5-1, only to see the lead slip from his grasp with his opponent taking a remarkable 6-5 victory.
Bingham, even though not hitting top gear, enjoyed another run to the business end of a major tournament and SightRight chief Stephen Feeney was justifiably pleased with the pair.
“I’m extremely proud of both players. It would’ve been nice for one of them to lift the trophy but it wasn’t to be,” he said.
“Martin in particular was unlucky not to seal the match from 5-1 up and it took an epic comeback from Judd to stop him. Martin has played great snooker this week and I’m pleased to see him coming back into form following illness earlier this year. This his second semi final this year, he is incredibly talented, and I feel a big win is just around the corner for him.”
Before next month’s showpiece event, the duo head to Thailand this week for the Players Championship finals.
Feeney, the world’s leading sighting and alignment expert and top snooker coach, had predicted a memorable week for the talented duo at the Grand Prix and is expecting more of the same in upcoming tournaments.
He added: “Both players are in the hunt for titles and this is the most important part of the season when every player wants to peak at the right time. Martin and Stuart will both be looking forward to a strong finish to the season.”
