In 2016, Tom Ford competed in the Paul Hunter Classic and made it all the way to the final, where he was defeated by Mark Selby 2–4. Moreover, he competed in the 2018 UK Championship and the 2019 English Open, both of which saw him get to the semi-final round. During the course of his career, Ford has amassed over 200 century breaks and five maximum breaks in competitive play. In 2001, he kicked off his professional career by competing on the Challenge Tour, which was the second-level professional tour available at the time. At the 2005 Malta Cup, he advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Ken Doherty. However, he was eliminated in the following round by Stephen Hendry. He won the maximum prize as well as the high break, although the event was not broadcast on television. In the last 32 of the Northern Ireland Trophy in 2007, he kept Ronnie O'Sullivan tied at 4–4, but then missed the final blue, which allowed O'Sullivan to win the frame and the tournament. After defeating fellow Englishman Lisowski in a tough match for a spot in the final four, the 39-year-old player moved a significant step forward in his quest to win his first career ranking title. During a match in which both players made centuries, Ford never allowed himself to fall behind his tenacious opponent, despite facing several fightbacks from the latter. Ford was allowed to bat thanks to a mishit by Lisowski, and he made the most of his opportunity by scoring 104 runs in a classy manner. This century was Ford's first of the tournament and ninth of the season.

Tom Ford vs Zhou Yuelong Prediction
Tom Ford vs Zhou Yuelong Prediction
With about 8 players left, the tension around is getting higher. The question is who lifts The Alex Higgins Trophy on Sunday? Ali Carter withdrew from the Northern Ireland Open for personal reasons, thus leaving a spot in the quarterfinals to Zhou Yuelong without playing. No reasons were specified, but it's a real shame for the former world number two who was playing well and had closed out last night’s challenge in the decider against Jimmy Robertson with a splendid century break. This match is going to be very close, with very little in the way of a margin of victory for either player. We anticipate a long battle that will go down to the wire in this match as well, with a great number of outstanding plays that will likely result in the contest having a final score of over 7.5.
