Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump, Neil Robertson and Mark Selby are among those vying for the Welsh Open title. Jordan Brown claimed a shock win in 2021 and after a season of upsets, will we see another in Newport? Meanwhile, omnipresent runner-up John Higgins is bidding for a record-extending sixth title at the event, while O’Sullivan can draw level with the Scot should he win his fifth Welsh crown.
‘One of the biggest shocks’ – Snooker world rocked by ‘incredible’ O’Sullivan loss
After the drama at the European Masters, attention turns to the Welsh Open as the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump and Mark Selby battle it out for the title.
There will be no sequel to last year's fairytale after defending champion Jordan Brown fell at the first hurdle, with a host of big names fixing their sights on the trophy and a £80,000 first prize.
John Higgins will be looking to feast again having won the tournament a record five times, while O'Sullivan can draw level with his Class of '92 colleague should he triumph at Celtic Manor Resort in Newport.
Could we see another shock winner in this topsy-turvy season? We've just seen 750-1 shot Fan Zhengyi claim a stunning win over O'Sullivan in the European Masters final, while Iran's Hossein Vafaei and Chinese hot-shot Zhao Xintong have also claimed impressive ranking titles in recent weeks.
