The build-up to the upcoming Snooker World Championship continues with the penultimate ranking event of the season. The 2023 Tour Championship will see the top eight players on the one-year ranking list heading to the Bonus Arena in Hull for the event.
Former world champion Mark Selby won three matches in a day to claim the WST Classic title on home soil in Leicester.
We are nearly at the end of the season and, as such, it is time for the penultimate ranking event of the year, the 2023 Tour Championship. Neil Robertson is the defending champion but, he is not participating as a number of big names miss out on the tournament. Ad The eight players for the Tour Championship are picked based on the one-year ranking list and a host of big names have missed the cut due to the up and down nature of the season.
Mark Selby buried Ali Carter under a barrage of breaks to reach the final of the WST Classic in Leicester with a 5-0 whitewash in a one-sided semi-final. The four-time world champion is chasing a first ranking title in his home city and produced a relentless display of scoring with knocks of 95, 138, 65 and 89 enough to book his spot in the inaugural Classic final at 7pm UK time on Wednesday night.
Mark Selby maintained his push for a first ranking title in his home city of Leicester with a 4-2 win over John Higgins in the WST Classic quarter-finals. Selby raced 3-0 clear of his fellow four-time world champion with breaks of 99, 80 and 59 before Higgins responded with 136 and 81 to maintain his hopes with his opponent failing to register a point.
Jimmy White is confident of making a return to the World Championship next month as he believes he is playing too well not to qualify. White has not reached the final stages of the tournament since 2006 but heads into the qualifiers starting on April 3 in bullish mood after a run of good performances, even after his hopes of making a ranking event quarter-final appearance at the age of 60 were ended by Pang Junxu at the WST Classic in Leicester.
World number two Mark Selby reached the last 32 of the WST Classic with a narrow 4-3 win over Zhang Anda. The four-time world champion trailed 2-0 before rattling off three straight frames, including two 50 breaks, to go in front.
Ding Junhui was sent tumbling out of the WST Classic at the first hurdle by Xu Si, leaving his Tour Championship hopes hanging in the balance. The Chinese superstar, who returned to the winner’s circle for the first time since 2019 with victory at the Six Red World Championship in Thailand earlier in the month, arrived at the Morningside Arena in Leicester as seventh on the one-year list for qualification for the eight-player Tour Championship .
