Tony Knowles

[Straight strike]

Just when I was reading the results of the first round matches, I saw this guy's name. Is he still in the main tour or just another Tony Knowles?

Yep, the same one, saw an interview with him on BBC, for this match he was docked a frame because he was late; he was very ***sed off, as he was in the building and just went to the toilet and came back to be told he was being docked the frame.

He plays Yannick Poulain, #1 in France, at Bruges' qualifiers.

He was late because maybe he was wooing michaela tabb

Has he quitted for a long time and got back recently?

He has recently come back to the pro scene yes.
Not sure what he has been upto in the meantime.

He has in fact entered the World Championships - at the earliest non-pro stage in the last few years - since 1981 without missing a year, so he is one of very few players to have clocked up 30 World Championship entries.
