Vintage Perry! The Gentleman Rolls Back the Years to Reach Seniors Final
Joe “The Gentleman” Perry has rolled back the years with a classy performance to book his place in the final of the 2025 British Seniors Snooker Open. Showing all the composure and cue control that have defined his career, Perry produced a commanding 5–3 victory over former world champion Matthew Stevens in a high-quality semi-final encounter.
The match was a showcase of experience and tactical nous, but it was Perry who consistently seized the key moments. His standout contribution came in the form of a superb break of 131, underlining that his scoring power remains as potent as ever. Calm under pressure and precise in execution, Perry dictated the pace and never allowed Stevens to build sustained momentum.
Now just one match away from lifting the title, Perry will face either Jimmy White or Alfie Burden in what promises to be another compelling contest. Whoever emerges, the final is set to be a celebration of skill, character, and the enduring quality of the seniors game.
Fans were quick to praise Perry’s performance, with social media user Michelle Msugh perfectly capturing the mood: “Great to see The Gent make it through. Well done Joe Perry.” It’s a sentiment echoed widely across the snooker community.
Respected as much for his sportsmanship as his talent, Joe Perry continues to embody everything admirable about the game. Win or lose in the final, this run serves as another reminder of why he is held in such high regard — truly a gentleman both on and off the table.
