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. |

His post-match interviews shed some light on his thought process. Don't think he's going to win the worlds again and more importantly I don't think he even wants to. Anyway we've got 4 matches playing to a finish today. Should be good. |

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." |

If Joe O'Connor loses from this position it will be the biggest sporting anti climax since Coventry lost in the FA Cup semi final.

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. |
