Jenson Kendrick (born 3 February 2001) is an English former snooker player. He turned professional at the start of the 2022/2023 season. He earned a two-year tour card after defeating Haydon Pinhey 4–1 in the final round of the third 2022 Q School event.

Career

2022/2023 season

At the first ranking tournament, the Championship League, Kendrick played two draws, losing only one match and finishing 3rd in his round robin group. However, at all three following ranking events he lost in the qualification round.

2023/2024 season

For much of the season, Kendrick struggled to produce many good results, leaving his tour card in jeopardy. However, in qualifying for the 2024 Snooker World Championship, Kendrick came from the first round, beating Bai Yulu 10-7 in the first round, Ben Woollaston 10-8 in the second, and Jordan Brown 10-5 in the third, to put himself one match away from appearing at the Crucible and retaining his tour card. On Judgement Day, he took a 5-4 lead over China's Lyu Haotian, and later 7-6, but missed out on qualification after a 10-7 defeat. This defeat saw Kendrick unfortunately lose his tour card.
