Mark Selby

THE British Open returns to Cheltenham THIS WEEK with some of snooker’s top stars in action.

Last year, Mark Selby claimed the Clive Everton Trophy for the first time after beating fellow four-time world champion John Higgins in the final.

The Jester from Leicester secured a 10-5 victory over the Scotsman as he went one better than the 2023 British Open, where he lost in the final to Mark Williams.

In 2024, World No1 Judd Trump became only the third player in history to reach 1,000 century breaks.

But in the very same match, he was eliminated by Mark Allen following a 5-3 defeat in the quarter-finals.

Trump has never won the British Open and will be looking to add the Clive Everton Trophy to his ever-expanding collection of titles.

Kyren Wilson also features in Cheltenham as he looks to put his poor display at the English Open last week behind him.

There will be no Ronnie O’Sullivan this week after the Rocket withdrew from the competition on medical grounds last Tuesday.

The Aussie potter beat Wu Yize 9-7 to take home the Steve Davis Trophy in last year’s Home Nations showpiece.

Robertson was seeded No1 for this event after his stunning win over Ronnie O’Sullivan in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters final last month.

The Rocket decided to sit out of this tournament and will also miss the upcoming British Open.

That is despite a £100,000 cheque being handed to the winner and all the action being played just a few miles up the road from where he grew up.
