Chen Siming (born 30 December 1993) is a Chinese professional pool player. Chen is best known for winning the 2017 WPA World Nine-ball Championship.

Career

Chen grew up in Heilongjiang Province, China, where her parents were owners of a pool hall, and she started playing snooker aged 8. Four years later, in 2006, she won both the 8-ball and 9-ball divisions of the Chinese National Youth Championships. By 2009 she was being coached by Wu Jia-qing (formerly known as Wu Chia-Ching), the double world champion. Within a year, she defeated Allison Fisher to win the 2010 China Open, her first major title.

In the 2010 Asian Games, Chen won the gold medal in the Six-red snooker event.

In 2011, she won her second senior title, the Philippine Open, defeating Kelly Fisher 9–3 in the final, and later won the All Japan Championship. Billiards Digest named Chen as 2011 player of the year.

Following further tournament successes, she won the 2017 Women's World 9-Ball Championship, coming from 1–5 down against Pan Xiaoting to win 9–7.
