At first glance, with her youthful features and thick glasses, Ng On-yee could be mistaken for a schoolgirl, rather than a world number one sportswoman.
But Ng has just become the first Asian woman to top the World Ladies Billiards and Snooker (WLBS) rankings.
The 27-year-old replaced long-time number one Reanne Evans of England last week as she reached the quarter-finals of the British Open in Stourbridge.
Three other female snooker players from Hong Kong are also among the world's top 15.
"Snooker has always been a male sport in Hong Kong," Ng On-yee said of one of the territory's most successful sports.
"I think I have proved that women can play snooker very well, too - even with big glasses," she said with a big smile.
