Exposure, normalisation etc. Girls watching who may not even have considered that snooker’s something they could do seeing a woman in a high profile tournament with the best in the world. Even if she gets spanked, it’s still exposure.
I disagree that rankings should be used to top up the places (unless absolutely necessary). Players get enough chances to get into limited field tournaments based on rankings, with Shanghai, The Masters, the Coral Series. Using rankings would make a mockery of the tournament’s name.
Wouldn't it be a better inspiration for young women to see a woman who has got her way onto the main tour through hard work?
All this tells young women is that they need hand-outs to compete with the men.
