Liu dropped from 59th to 82nd in the world rankings after a poor 2009/10 season.

His best run came in the totesport.com Welsh Open, as he beat Joe Jogia and Adrian Gunnell to reach the last 48 before losing to Michael Holt.

But he lost his opening match in four of the six ranking tournaments and did not do enough to automatically keep his place on the professional circuit.

However, with John Higgins suspended at the start of the 2010/11 season, Liu was given dispensation to enter the first two ranking events.

Liu showed that he has the potential to follow in the footsteps of fellow Chinese ace Ding Junhui with some outstanding results in the 2007 Grand Prix.

He made his way through the round robin phase in the qualifiers and again at the venue, beating the likes of Matthew Stevens and Dave Harold in Aberdeen.
Liu then scored a sensational 5-3 defeat of Stephen Maguire to reach the quarter-finals. “It’s an important win for me,” he said. “Ding has won three ranking titles and is well known in Britain, but now I’m in a quarter-final so I’m happy." But that was as far as he went as a 5-0 defeat to Marco Fu followed.

Liu became the first Chinese player ever to qualify for the final stages of a ranking event when he reached the 2004 Welsh Open in Newport.

He won four qualifying matches, culminating in victory over Fergal O’Brien, before losing to Marco Fu at the venue.

However, that was not enough to keep Liu on the Tour and he dropped off at the end of the season. But the talented Beijing cueman regained his professional status by finishing first out of nearly 200 players in the 2005/06 Pontin’s International Open Series. He won one of the eight events and reached the final of two more.

Liu reached the final of the IBSF Under-21 World Championship in 2003, losing 11-5 to Australia’s Neil Robertson in Taupo, New Zealand.
