In December 2018, Gorst reached 8th in the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) world rankings. Gorst won the U19 8-Ball European Pool Championship in 2017,[1] before winning the 2018 Treviso Open on the Euro Tour.[2] Gorst is also a Junior 9-ball world champion, winning the 2017 WPA World Nine-ball Junior Championship in the boys (Under 19) event.[3]
Gorst won the 2019 WPA World Nine-ball Championship, defeating Chang Jung-lin in the final 13–11.[4]
In 2023, Gorst made it to the final of the U.S. Open Nine-ball Championship, but he was defeated 13–6 by Taiwan’s Ko Ping Chung.[5]
In 2024, Gorst won his first major Matchroom title, defeating Joshua Filler in the final of the World Pool Masters 13–12.[6] Later the same year, Gorst made it to the final of the 2024 WPA World Nine-ball Championship[7] and went on to win 15-14 against Eklent Kaçi, winning his second major Matchroom title and becoming at 24 years old the youngest player to win the event more than once, following his previous victory in 2019.[citation needed] Additionally, Fedor would go on to win the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship in August of that same year, beating Shane Van Boening 13-10 in the final.
