World Snooker Championship 2026

I'm pleased that someone broke through the seeds, even if it's still going to equal the record of 15.

I can just see Hawkins winning a decider in that one.

Kyren did well to rally from a dire start against Mark Allen.

More than Xiao did, anyway.

Kyren couldn't get equal with Triangle Face. Not that I expect their 2018 Masters final inspires many others.

Amazing reception for the class of 92 in the Saturday evening session. What an atmosphere to enter the arena to. Wow.

Best second round draw I've seen for some years. All the potential quarter final match ups look excellent too.
