Mark Selby was rewarded for his services to snooker and charity at Windsor Castle on Tuesday when he was made an MBE. Princess Anne told the four-time world champion she had watched him contest a regal 47th World Championship final at the Crucible earlier this month as Belgium's Luca Brecel became the first winner from continental Europe courtesy of an engrossing 18-15 win.
Michael 'The Hitman' Holt has spent the past 12 months coaching snooker since losing his professional tour card in disappointing fashion a year ago, but has used the enforced time out to learn a few lessons of his own. The former Shoot Out winner will join a 208-player scramble at Q School at Leicester's Morningside Arena next week (May 26-6 June) as he bids to return to the main circuit after failing to regain his tour card for the 2022/23 campaign. Ad Having dropped to 65 in the world following a 6-3 loss to Tom Ford in last year's World Championship qualifiers, Holt could not progress far enough at Pond's Forge in Sheffield at 2022 Q School to prevent his 26-year stay on the tour from coming to an end.
Ronnie O'Sullivan idolised fellow icons Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry as a kid during the 1980s, but the snooker GOAT believes Joe Johnson produced arguably the most magical performance of the sport's modern era. Speaking during a run of interviews to promote his new autobiography Unbreakable, O'Sullivan revealed his admiration for the unheralded 150-1 outsider, who completed a stunning 18-12 victory over Davis in the 1986 World Championship final in Sheffield. Ad It was remarkably the stylish Bradford player's only ranking triumph in a 25-year professional career, but Johnson showed his class by returning to the final a year later when Davis held him off for an 18-14 win in the 1987 title match to claim the fourth off his six Crucible trophies.
Ronnie O'Sullivan insists he will continue to evolve in the new snooker campaign as he bids to stay at the top of the sport. The world No. 1 claimed two major trophies in the 2022/23 season with victories at the elite Hong Kong Masters and the Champion of Champions, but will aim to secure his 40th ranking title when the green baize action resumes.
