Bit gutted that the Gould and Jimmy match isn't happening.

Jimmy White gets a bye into the 2nd round with a walkover over Martin Gould. This will be Jimmy White's 45th World Championship he has played in every one since 1980, I think this breaks the record of Fred Davis.

No really long odds this year then. 250/1 for Dominic Dale and 200/1 for Robbie Williams seem a bit stiff.

Jak Jones all seems a bit sting at 80/1.

You can get 300/1 for Dominic Dale on William Hill.

Eddie Hearn says snooker must "embrace" investment from different parts of the globe as the debate over whether the World Championship should leave its iconic Sheffield home continues.

The Crucible Theatre has hosted snooker's flagship event since 1977.

But with a capacity of just 980, calls to move the event have grown louder, with the venue's contract set to expire in 2027 on its 50-year anniversary.

"The problem is the Crucible is very small," Hearn told BBC Radio 5 Live.

Former world champion Shaun Murphy has described Hossein Vafaei's criticism of the Crucible Theatre as "almost sacrilege", saying the Iranian has "not helped the sport at all".

On Sunday, world number 19 Vafaei said the Crucible, which has hosted the World Snooker Championship since 1977, "smells really bad", the practice room is like a "garage" and the tournament should move elsewhere.

After his 10-5 win over Lyu Haotian, Murphy responded to those comments, with a passionate defence of the venue, regarded as the sport's home.

"This is a working theatre, it’s not a purpose-built snooker venue," said Murphy. "We’re coming up to the 50th anniversary of snooker being here and if World Snooker Tour turned up tomorrow and did a site visit, they would probably not come here because it’s not big enough, but there’s nothing we can do about that.

"But this is holy ground. It’s almost sacrilege for a professional snooker player to be so openly critical of our home. Hossein should educate himself on how our tour works in relationships with the WST and our broadcast partners, our venues and how special this place is."

Three-time world champion Mark Williams became the sixth seeded player to be eliminated in the 2024 event as he lost 10-9 in a deciding frame against China's Si Jiahui.

Welshman Williams, the 49-year-old fifth seed, led 5-4 in his first-round match against Si after Monday's first session.

However, last year's semi-finalist won four frames in a row to move 8-5 ahead, before Williams pulled two frames back.

Si took the next to go 9-7 in front and had a glorious chance to seal the victory before missing a pink when 39-14 ahead to give Williams hope.

The 2000, 2003 and 2018 champion took it to 9-9, but left a red on into the middle and Si made a match-winning break of 77.

It has been a tournament of shocks and Williams joins top seed Luca Brecel, fifth seed Mark Selby, ninth seed Ali Carter, 10th seed Gary Wilson and 11th seed Zhang Anda in making an early exit.

Si will face another Welsh player in the last 16 when he meets world number 44 Jak Jones, after he defeated China's Zhang on Sunday.

Ronnie O’Sullivan does not think he is the greatest snooker player of all time, even as he bids for a record-breaking eighth Crucible title.

O’Sullivan, 48, begins his first-round match against 22-year-old Welsh qualifier Jackson Page on Wednesday (14:30 BST), with the second session on Thursday afternoon.

Another world title would move O’Sullivan one clear of Stephen Hendry’s seven Crucible successes in the 1990s.

O’Sullivan has already won the other two events in snooker’s Triple Crown – the UK Championship and the Masters – this season, the eighth time he has lifted each trophy, more than any other player.

Asked if he considered himself as the best ever, O’Sullivan said: “I don’t regard myself as the greatest. I’m one of them, maybe. You’ve got Hendry, [six-time world champion Steve] Davis, and my hat’s in the ring with them. I’ve had a different career to them. They did it over a ten-year period, whereas I’ve sort of gone off track, got myself together, back off track, then got myself back together.

“I’ve had to go on longer to get what I’ve got. I was a bit all over the show at times with stuff going on off the table and that can affect how you perform on it. Hendry and Davis pretty much had everything fitted around them to be focused on snooker and I didn’t have that.”

Kyren Wilson completed a 10-1 first-round thrashing of Dominic Dale but missed out on making his second maximum 147 break at the Crucible.

Wilson, the 2020 runner-up, held an 8-1 lead after the first session against 52-year-old Welshman Dale - the oldest player at this year's World Snooker Championship.

The Englishman made a break of 65 to move one frame away and then potted 11 reds and 11 blacks as he aimed to make only the 15th maximum at the Sheffield venue since it started hosting the tournament in 1977.

But he missed a red as his break ended at 88.

In the morning session's other match, England's Jack Lisowski defeated 2016 finalist Ding Junhui, winning 10-9 in a high-quality encounter to set up a second-round match against 2015 world champion Stuart Bingham.

Posted by: Mack. 24th April 2024, 10:33 PM

15th seed Barry Hawkins was the eighth seed to be knocked out, losing 10-8 to Ryan Day in the evening session.

His exit comes after defeats for fellow seeds Luca Brecel, Mark Selby, Mark Williams, Ali Carter, Gary Wilson and Zhang Anda.

There has never been a year at the Crucible where nine seeds have lost in the first round and it has been only the fourth time - after 1980, 1992 and 2012 - where eight of the top 16 have fallen at the first hurdle.

Posted by: Mack. 25th April 2024, 12:13 AM

Former World Snooker Tour chairman Barry Hearn says the World Championship could stay in Sheffield - but only if the Crucible Theatre was to be redeveloped or a new arena built in the city.

The Crucible, which only holds 980 people, has held snooker’s biggest event every year since 1977 but its current contract expires in 2027.

Some players, including Ronnie O’Sullivan and Iran’s Hossein Vafaei, have said the venue is too small and the event should be moved elsewhere, with China and Saudi Arabia among the possibilities.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Hearn, 75, said: “Whether we stay in Sheffield and put up with it is one option, option two they [Sheffield City Council] build me a 3,000 seater [arena] and we extend for a very long period.

“Option three, we go somewhere else for 10 years and option four, as a world championship, we go around the world, maybe one year in Saudi Arabia, one year in China and one year in Sheffield as it is.”


Personally it should stay at the Crucible, it would divide a lot of snooker fans if it was moved.

Ronnie O'Sullivan believes he is capable of winning a world title in his 50s after he thrashed Jackson Page 10-1 to reach the last 16 at the 2024 event.

O'Sullivan, 48, is already the oldest snooker world champion after winning in 2022, aged 46, and would need to lift the trophy again in 2026 or later to become the first winner aged 50 or over.

"I know the ability is there - it's just finding the right formula," O'Sullivan told BBC Two. "I've already broken the rules for snooker. I'm still going at 48, 49 and I'm seeing what's possible now.

"Can I win a World Championship at 50, who knows? I'm probably the only player able to do that but let's see, let's have an experiment."

O'Sullivan is aiming to win his eighth title and move clear of Stephen Hendry's mark of seven Crucible successes in the 1990s, and he began Thursday's play with an emphatic 8-1 lead over his 22-year-old opponent.

A break of 79 took O'Sullivan one frame away and he clinched victory soon after.

Four-time world snooker champion John Higgins has ruled out retiring this summer, saying he expects to outlast the Crucible and play into his 50s.

Higgins, 48, will play world number three Mark Allen in the last 16 after a hard-fought 10-6 win over Welsh qualifier Jamie Jones on Thursday.

The Crucible has staged snooker's World Championship every year since 1977, but Sheffield City Council's latest contract expires in 2027 and China and Saudi Arabia have shown interest in taking the event.

Earlier this week, former World Snooker Tour chairman Barry Hearn warned the event would leave its long-time theatre home unless the building was redeveloped or a bigger arena was built nearby in the city.

There had been speculation that Higgins, 13th in the world but in danger of dropping out of the top 16, would walk away from snooker if he had a disappointing World Championship.

"No, I won't retire. This venue will be retired before I retire from snooker," said Higgins, the 1998, 2007, 2009 and 2011 world champion.

"It's a shame, but with all the noises coming out from important people within the game it seems it will be leaving here in three years' time. I've had tears, joy, everything rolled into one, and your life has revolved around this venue, and it will be a sad day when it leaves."

Ronnie O'Sullivan opened a 5-3 lead as he made a strong start to his World Snooker Championship last-16 match against Wales' Ryan Day.

The 48-year-old Englishman is on course for an eighth Crucible title, which would move him clear of Stephen Hendry's mark of seven successes.

O'Sullivan, who thrashed Welsh qualifier Jackson Page 10-1 in the first round, made breaks of 123 and 84 in the opening two frames against Day, but the world number 18 rallied to take the next two.

Breaks of 83 and 51 helped O'Sullivan go 4-2 in front before Day responded with a 115, but O'Sullivan restored his two-frame advantage with a 92 in the last frame of the session.

Day, 44, is aiming to reach the quarter-finals for a fourth time, having lost in that round in 2008, 2009 and 2012.
