Who did it better? 💭 Alex Higgins or the Shenzhen Open King? 👇 #ShenzhenOpen

Not sure what the answer is mate but nobody should be coming in 4 rounds later IMO …… Possibly cunt the tour 64 at every venue

Spoke with David Gilbert in Cheltenham last week about whether he is seeing more youngsters playing snooker in his venues. Gilbert explained why they prefer to play pool.

A few complaints from UK players about the China swing lasting 5-6 weeks. Mark Selby also thought it was a tournament too long, but rightly recognises what the Chinese players have to do for most of the season, every season.

Aryna Sabalenka was asked about 19 year old Teodora Kostovic saying ‘Let’s see if she can deal with my power,’ and Aryna says she felt like the 19 year old was faking her self belief “Going back to the comment of Serbian player Teodora… When you were a young player like her, 18, 19, those kinds of messages.. was it more like her self confidence? That she wants to boost her confidence even more? Or did you get it as a message to the opponent, because the reaction in Serbian media was even making fun of her because the way she expressed her shots are like so strong. Was it more like boosting herself or sending really a message? Aryna: “Me looking at this and then going to the match and seeing the reality, I think it was more like she was trying to trick herself and she was just trying to boost that self belief that she actually didn’t have. And I think, I don’t know. Sometimes it works. It always depends on the personality. Sometimes you have to really fake it til you make it. Sometimes you have to stay grounded and be real and work with what you have. So for me that message was a bit.. I would understand if it would be reasonable. But like I went in the match and was like… ‘which power was she talking about?’ Sometimes it works if you actually have that self belief. If you’re just trying to fake it and you don’t actually believe in it, it’s not gonna work. It’s important to stay true to yourself and be yourself. Trust yourself. I don’t know what she was trying to do with that message exactly. For me it was just like, faking it a little bit.” (via Wimbledon Press)

Pleasure to speak to a combative and confident Stan Moody. - Why he's not backing down on his style of play - 'Disgusting' celebration from Kyren Wilson👀 - The young players changing the game while others are too negative Loads here from The Action 👇 metro.co.uk/2026/06/12/stan-…

Top players are still going strong in their 40s and 50s these days, but there is plenty of young talent on the tour as well. I've had a look at the 30 best snooker players under 30. Eight nationalities represented. One a lot more than the rest. metro.co.uk/2026/06/04/snook…

'He's probably favourite. The pressure is off me and probably more on John.' Seemed like some pretty crude mind games from the Rocket, but he was also in good form in the press conference, talking about young talents and dealing with inevitable decline👇 metro.co.uk/2026/04/22/ronni…

STAN MOODY’S FIRST CRUCIBLE SHOT! How are your nerves young man? #WorldChampionship

This is not something I’ll be losing sleep over - we can’t afford to lose any more during this event - but what are your feelings on a re-rack here? I get that the players agreed to it. But snooker is supposed to be an intricate game of chess at times not just a potting contest.

Come on @WeAreWST... This is THE FUCKING #WORLDCHAMPIONSHIP!! It's for the best players. It can't be easy, the game should be difficult. And they've made those bloody buckets.🤦‍♂️ Of course we'll still try to enjoy the event, but it's not right at all. Really disappointing.😮‍💨

WHAT AN INTERVIEW 😍 🇵🇱 We hope to see many Polish players at the Crucible. But Antoni Kowalski, you will always be the first!

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that released the year you turned 18.
