Two-time US Open champion Francisco Sanchez Ruiz cemented his place in pool history in 2026, reclaiming the prestigious green jacket four years after his first triumph in 2022 to become just the tenth player in history to win the title multiple times.
The former World No. 1 and 2023 World Champion is widely regarded as a master cue artist, with “El Ferrari” having established himself as one of the most accomplished players of his generation.
Ruiz’s major title collection includes the 2022 US Open, 2023 World Pool Championship, 2023 Premier League Pool and 2022 World Cup of Pool, while his 2024 season saw him add the Peri Open title and play a pivotal role in Team Europe’s fifth consecutive Mosconi Cup triumph, defeating Team USA 11-6.
