After a fantastic first Triple Crown event of the season at the UK Championship which was won for the first time by Mark Allen, we return to Home Nations action. We're in Edinburgh for the week with the 2022 Scottish Open. Luca Brecel is the defending champion and will be in action on Monday as the round one matches are held over to the main event.
‘There is a target on his back now’ – O’Sullivan says other players will be revved up to play Allen
Welcome back to the 2022-23 Home Nations series! It's now time for the Scottish Open.
The first event of the quadruple mini-series was the Northern Ireland Open that was won by local hero Mark Allen.
And Allen has been on great form, adding his first UK Championship crown to his trophy cabinet on Sunday evening.
“It will give him great confidence,” said Ronnie O’Sullivan on Eurosport after Allen's triumph. “He has started to win tournaments while not playing great, so naturally there will be a bit of a target on his back now. The [other players] will be revved up to play him.
“A lot of players will be sitting down thinking, ‘I want to get into him’, so it's going to be different now."
You can read O'Sullivan's full thoughts here.
We now turn our attention to the 2022 Scottish Open, where last year Belgian star Luca Brecel triumphed. Here is everything you need to know.
When is the Scottish Open 2022? And where?
The Scottish Open will be held from November 28 to December 4 and will take place at the Meadowbank Sports Centre in Edinburgh.
It is the first time the event returns to Edinburgh since 2002-03, when David Gray triumphed over Mark Selby. The venue has a capacity of 1,280.
