Hong Kong snooker star Marco Fu Ka-chun is more than simply a master of potting, he is also a master of pithy Tweeting – and it’s clear that he doesn’t always take himself too seriously.

The world number six often takes to Twitter and other social media platforms to offers his views, congratulate fellow players, post a picture or merely poke fun at himself.

The latest short and sharp barb directed at himself came after the recent draw for the Hong Kong Masters, from July 20-23, with Fu slated to meet Barry Hawkins, the world number five.

With the tournament also featuring reigning world champion Mark Selby and the popular Ronnie O’Sullivan, Fu - despite his high world ranking - clearly didn’t feel he belonged in such elite company.

“Sorry to say that I’m the worst player in this year’s lineup, no need to say more...,” Fu tweeted.
