Bai Yulu

Bai won the women's 2019 IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship in Qingdao with a 4–0 victory over Mink Nutcharut in the final. She celebrated her 16th birthday during the tournament. She reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 IBSF Women's World Snooker Championship, making the three highest of the event: 91, 81 and 78. Accompanied by her mother, as she was unable as a 16-year-old to travel alone, she competed in the 2019 Hong Kong World Women's Masters, where she lost 1–4 to Rebecca Kenna in the final.

She made her World Women's Snooker Tour debut at the 2023 World Women's Snooker Championship in Bangkok, Thailand. She made a 127 break in her group match against Amee Kamani, the highest break in the tournament's history, surpassing Kelly Fisher's 125 at the 2003 event. She defeated 12-time champion Reanne Evans 5–3 in the semi-finals, but lost the final 3–6 to Baipat Siripaporn. She won her first women's ranking title at the 2023 British Women's Open, defeating Evans 4–3 in the final.

The 2024 World Women's Snooker Championship was the first edition of the tournament to be staged in China. After coming from 0–3 behind to defeat Evans 5–3 in the semi-finals, Bai secured her first women's world title with a 6–5 victory over Mink in the final. Her 122 break in the final was the highest of the tournament and the highest ever made in a women's world final. Winning the world women's title secured Bai a two-year tour card to the main professional World Snooker Tour from the start of the 2024–25 snooker season. She also won the concurrent 2024 World Women's Under-21 Snooker Championship, defeating Narucha Phoemphul 3–0 in the final.

Bai became the first woman since Kelly Fisher in 1999 to win back-to-back matches at a ranking event when she defeated Farakh Ajaib and then Jamie Jones in the qualifying rounds for the 2024 UK Championship. She then became the first female player to register three wins at a ranking event by beating Scott Donaldson in the next round in a match which went to a final frame decider. Bai lost in the fourth round to Jack Lisowski 6‍–‍1, falling just short of making the televised stages.
