Ronnie O'Sullivan could be forced to do it the hard way as he bids to become the most prolific Crucible champion of all time later this month. In keeping with tradition, the world No.
The climax of the snooker season is almost upon us with the biggest names in the sport contesting the 47th World Championship at the famous Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Ronnie O'Sullivan collected his seventh world title last year, but the sport's world No. 1 will face immense competition this year.
Anyone who predicted that not one of Ronnie O’Sullivan, Neil Robertson, Judd Trump, John Higgins or Mark Williams would be in Hull deserves either a pat on the back or equal billing at Derren Brown’s next stage show. These star names have between them reached only one ranking final all season: Trump lost to Mark Allen in the World Grand Prix’s title match in January. Ad Trump did win the Masters and O’Sullivan was successful at the Champion of Champions, but these are not ranking events and so didn’t count towards Tour Championship inclusion.
Context The 2023 Tour Championship sees the top eight players on the one-year ranking list facing off at the Bonus Arena in Hull for the event. Ad Given the limited number of total participants and the nature of the criteria for taking part, there are a number of big-name absentees who will miss the chance of banking some competitive action ahead of the Crucible showdown next month.
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.
