Les Gillett

Profile

les gillett

Les ‘Razor’ Gillett is no stranger to the WBT Top 16 as he has been in before and slid out in 2010 to No. 19. Determined to get back into the Top 16 Les entered the PBA Qualifiers and powered his way through all the qualifiers to win a space to the 2014-15 Scottish International Open & International Open.

With a quarter final place in the 2015 Scottish International Open  Les earned the right to be right back in the fray and his semi-final berth in the 2017 World Indoor Open Singles Championship gave him enough points to rise to No. 11 for the coming season

Les will be playing with his renowned steely determination to make the most of this chance and climb the ladder once again and is not a player the Top16 like to be drawn against as they know it means a really tough game to come.
