Snooker tournament

The 2017 German Masters (officially the 2017 F66.com German Masters) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 1–5 February 2017 at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany. It was the twelfth ranking event of the 2016/2017 season.

Martin Gould was the defending champion but he lost 2–6 against Ali Carter in the semi-finals.[1]

Tom Ford made the 128th official maximum break and the third of his career in the second frame of his 5–2 win over Peter Ebdon in the first round.[2] Maximum breaks had already been made in the qualifying rounds by both Ali Carter and Ross Muir.[3]

Anthony Hamilton defeated Carter 9–6 to capture his first ranking title in his 26-year career, having trailed 2–5. At the age of 45, he also became the oldest ranking event winner since Doug Mountjoy was 46 winning the Classic in 1989. He is the third oldest winner of a ranking event after Mountjoy (46) and Ray Reardon (50 and 45).
