Chris Wakelin is your 2025 Scottish Open champion. What a performance in the final for the 33yo from Rugby, who won seven frames in a row to defeat Chang Bingyu 9-2. This is Wakelin’s second career ranking title after the ‘23 Shootout, a win which moves him up to 14th in the rankings #147sf #snooker

A maiden ranking title for Chang Bingyu or a second career one for Chris Wakelin after the 2023 Shootout? We will know today, as the two clashes in Edinburgh in a bo17 final. The Englishman won the only previous meeting back in 2021, when he defeated Chang 4-2 at the Gibraltar Open #147sf #snooker

The first semifinal of the #ScottishOpen between Chris Wakelin and Matthew Selt has started. The two surprises of the week have faced each other seven times before, with Selt winning their first four meetings and Wakelin the last three. Today, both have a huge chance to reach a ranking final #147sf

Mark Selby misses the 14th red on his way to a seventh career maximum. The break, which ended at 104, is nonetheless Selby’s 40th century of the current season, which consolidates his place at the top of the 2025/26 scorers list ahead of Murphy (38), Trump (35) and Robertson (33) #147sf #stats

A strong lineup for the #ScottishOpen last 16, as just two players are ranked outside the top64: Chang Bingyu (70th) and Jiang Jun (96th). Interestingly, the two highest ranked players, Kyren Wilson and Mark Selby, would play each other in the next round, should they beat Chang and Saengkham #147sf

Alfie Burden is your 2025 Shootout champion! What a surprise in Blackpool, as Burden defeats Stuart Bingham in the final to win the event as an amateur! This is a first career ranking title for Alfie, who never progressed further than the quarterfinals in a ranking event before today #147sf #snooker

After two packed days (96 matches archived), the 2025 Shootout will crown its winner in the evening. Among the 32 names in contention, Gary Wilson is the highest ranked player (16th) while five (!) amateurs will try to surprise us even more (Burden, Patel, Llewellyn, Hussain, Richardson) #147sf

Mark Selby defeats Judd Trump 10-8 to win the 2025 UK Championship, his 25th career ranking event and his 10th of the Triple Crown. Selby is now one of the only four players in history who won each TC event at least three times, along with Ronnie O’Sullivan, Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis #147sf

Yesterday, for the fifth time in snooker history, a player (Chang Bingyu) scored a 147 and 2+ centuries but lost the match (5-6, to Maguire). The others: 2012 Wuxi F: BINGHAM 4-10 Walden 2022 WC R16: ROBERTSON 12-13 Lisowski 2023 WC F: SELBY 15-18 Brecel 2025 WC R16: ALLEN 6-13 Wakelin #147sf

What a first session from John Higgins, who is trashing Stephen Maguire in the second semifinal of the International Championship: score is 6-2 for the Wizard, who scored breaks of 137, 101, 97, 71, 67. The winner will face in form Wu Yize tomorrow, who disposed yesterday of Zhao Xintong 9-6 #147sf

The 100th career century for Wu Yize came today, making him the sixth youngest player to reach 100 career pro tons: 1. Ding Junhui (20y7m) 2. Ronnie O’Sullivan (20y9m) 3. Yan Bingtao (21y1m) 4. Judd Trump (21y8m) 5. Stephen Hendry (22y0m) 6. WU YIZE (22y1m) #stats #147sf

Wu Yize has won today his career 100th pro match, becoming the first player born in 2003 to achieve this milestone and just the sixth born after 1/1/2000 (with Yan, Yuan, Si, Pang and Page). In addition, he now has 99 career centuries: one away from being the first 2003-born to reach 100 tons #146sf

Jack Lisowski did it! A first career title for the Jackpot, who defeated Judd Trump 9-8 after a tense final in Belfast. A trophy which this very talented player chased for years has finally arrived: will many more follow now? #147sf #snooker

The Northern Ireland Open will crown its winner today and it will be either Judd Trump or Jack Lisowski: the two friends have already met in a final three times, with Judd winning all of them. Jack still looks for his maiden title, a difficult quest as he lost his last 10 matches versus Trump #147sf

Mark Williams finishes his Xi’an week in style, bringing home a career 27th ranking title, one less than Steve Davis, by annihilating Shaun Murphy 10-3 in the final. Willo became today also the oldest ever winner of a ranking title at the age of 50 years and 206 days #147sf #snooker

The Xi’an Grand Prix title will be tomorrow an affair between two legends of the snooker circuit, Shaun Murphy and Mark Williams. It will be their 33rd meeting in all competitions: interestingly, the h2h between the two players could not be more balanced, as it says 16-16! #147sf #snooker

There is not a single time I watch Mark Williams playing that I do not find myself hoping he will never retire. Brilliant talent, pure genius and a unique character, truly one of the all time legends of this sport #147sf #snooker

Probably one of the most dominant performances ever against a player who has recently been a World Champion. Shaun Murphy keeps being in his finest form and advances to the quarterfinals in Xi’an! #147sf #snooker

A tough yet deserved win for Si Jiahui in Xi’an today against Fan Zhengyi, 5-4 the final scoreline. Thanks to breaks of 141 and 128, Si has now 100 career centuries: he is just the third player (after Yan and Yuan) born after 1/1/2000 to reach this milestone and the first born in 2002 #147sf

Another (maybe) unexpected early defeat this season for Luca Brecel, who lost yesterday 4-6 to Liu Wenwei, ranked 123rd in the world, at the International Championship quali. Brecel is now barely surviving inside the top40, after being crowned World Champion just two years ago #147sf #snooker

A huge milestone has been reached today by Neil Robertson: the Thunder form Down Under has scored his 1000th career century against Umut Dikme to become only the fourth player to reach this number after Ronnie O’Sullivan, John Higgins and Hudd Trump #147sf #snooker

Anthony McGill defeated his more experienced fellow countryman John Higgins 6-3 to reach the final of the 2025 Unibet British Open. This will be McGill’s fourth career ranking final, the first in eight years as his last one dates back to 2017 (at the Indian Open, where he lost to Higgins) #147sf

The British Open enters its final stage: today in the afternoon we will have the Scottish derby between John Higgins and Anthony McGill, later in the evening the English derby featuring Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby. The winners will battle throughout the whole day tomorrow for the title #147sf

With the defeats yesterday of Chang Bingyu, Xiao Guodong and Lei Peifan, there will not be any Chinese player in the quarterfinals of the 2025 British Open, which is quite a surprise nowadays at this stage of a ranking event. Instead, England (x5), Scotland (x2) and Wales will be represented #147sf

Yesterday’s win vs Burns was Stan Moody’s 50th career pro win, the highest for a player born in 2006. Here are the top players for every year of birth: ‘00, Yan - 228 ‘01, Page - 122 ‘02, Si - 138 ‘03, Wu - 95 ‘04, Mertens - 62 ‘05, Boiko - 52 ‘06, Moody - 50 ‘07, Révész - 19 ‘08, Lan - 14 #147sf

Thanks to the two centuries scored in the first two frames of his match tonight, Xiao Guodong jumps ahead of both Jimmy White and Anthony Hamilton in the all-time century scorers list. The Chinese sits now in 26th place with 327 tons, nine less than Steve Davis (25th with 338) #147sf #stats

An impressive couple of days in Brentwood for Mark Allen to reach the #EnglishOpen SFs: the Pistol came back from 0-3 down to defeat Ding Junhui 4-3 in R5, then managed an even harder feat by recovering from 0-4 down to beat Elliot Slessor 5-4. He will face Jak Jones for a place in the final #147sf

Three back to back centuries, 469 points against 8, win by whitewash: a simply flawless performance tonight by Shaun “the Magician” Murphy to annihilate Zak Surety and progress to the #EnglishOpen round four #147sf

Congrats to Aaron Hill on scoring a maximum in the first frame of his match against Yao Pengcheng tonight! The Irishman has just become the fourth player born after 1/1/2000 to score a 147 in a pro event, along with Si Jiahui, Jackson Page and Fan Zhengyi. What an achievement for the 23yo! #147sf

A stunning scoring performance by Chang Bingyu today led to a 4-0 win over Leone Crowley with breaks of 134, 133, 133 and 60. It is interesting to point out that Chang has already compiled 46 centuries in his pro career having won just 47 matches (107 played) #147sf #EnglishOpen

In about one hour, the first matches of the #EnglishOpen will be underway. Ten days of snooker action from Brentwood lie ahead of us, as Neil Robertson will try to defend the title won in 2024. The top32 players will all start their campaign from R3, scheduled between Monday and Tuesday #147sf

Another positive display of resilience and mental strength from Stan Moody, who came back from 2-4 down to defeat Amir Sarkhosh in a decider. This is already the eighth win of the season for Moody in just ten matches, proof of his fast and manifest improvement on the professional tour #147sf

Ten minutes later, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh fires home a 114-break to lead Patrick Whelan 4-1. This is Theppy’s 200th career century, a surprisingly low amount considering he has compiled also six maximums (ratio: one 147 every 33.3 tons) #147sf #stats

As I write, two players who are currently in action stand a chance to reach a little milestone in the all-time scorers standings: in fact, both Elliot Slessor and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh are just one ton short from hitting respectively 100 and 200 career centuries. Will it be today? #147sf #snooker

Congrats to Zhou Yuelong on his third career maximum break: the 27yo from Chengdu has just scored a 147 in the fourth frame of his match against Julien Leclercq, managing to repeat the feat five years after his last time (Scottish Open 2020) #147sf #snoomer

One full day of quali matches for the Xi’an Grand Prix is in the archive: among the most interesting results, a mention goes to 14yo Michal Szubarczyk, who defeated Martin O’Donnell 5-4 after a long battle. Main draw reached also by Carter, Allen, Gilbert, Selby, Jak Jones, Wu, O’Connor, Yuan #147sf

At the end of an exciting final, Xiao Guodong successfully defends his #WuhanOpen title, as he tops Gary Wilson 10-9. A superb week for both finalists, with the Tyneside Terror coming a little short on the final day after impressing against Trump and Allen. This is Xiao’s second ranking title #147sf

Last #WuhanOpen champion Xiao Guodong will have a shout at defending his 2024 title tomorrow, as he defeats Mark Williams, courtesy of four consecutive frames won from 2-3 down. For the recent winner of the World Games, this will be a 4th ranking final, aiming for a possible 2nd career trophy #147sf

Two dominant wins in the morning for Mark Williams and Xiao Guodong, respectively against Zhang Anda (5-1) and Stan Moody (5-2) set the first semifinal of the #WuhanOpen. The last two SFs spots will be contended now, as John Higgins faces Gary Wilson while Si Jiahui is opposed to Mark Allen #147sf

Without any doubt the most promising English player of the new generation, Stan Moody has just added another result to the list of his illustrious wins: after defeating Ding Junhui yesterday, the 18yo from Halifax has annihilated Barry Hawkins, 5-0 the scoreline, with breaks of 108, 87, 54! #147sf

Judd Trump defeats his close friend Jack Lisowski 5-3 to progress into the #WuhanOpen R4: this is the eight consecutive time (not including Ch. League matches) that Trump defeats Lisowski in a WST event, as the all-time H2H between the two is now 17-8 #147sf

With Stan Moody winning against Zhou Yuelong, 5-1 the scoreline, the “Ding curse” has finally ended after an impressive three-years long streak, which dates back to the 23/24 season. Since then, every player who has defeated Ding has then lost in the following round, FOR 44 CONSECUTIVE TIMES! #147sf

Most career 147s. In square brackets, the player’s ranking place in the all-time century scorers list: Un-Nooh’s number says a lot… 17 - O’Sullivan [1] 13 - Higgins [3] 11 - Hendry [6] 10 - Murphy [7] 9 - Bingham [11] 8 - Trump [2] 7 - Ding [8] 6 - Selby [5] 6 - Un-Nooh [47] ❗️ #147sf #stats

Take a(nother) bow, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh! After the one he scored in Saudi Arabia, here comes another 147 for the Thai, who seals a 5-1 win over Pang Junxu with a maximum break in the last frame. This is the sixth career 147 for Thepchaiya, undoubtedly one of the masters of the perfect break #147sf

Regarding Xiao Guodong’s maximum earlier today, I would highly recommend all of you who missed it to look for it and enjoy the show. One of the hardest 147s I have ever seen, which included at least two or three miraculous shots: a sensational achievement by an often underrated player! #147sf

Last night the #WuhanOpen week has started and there has already been a couple of things which are worth a mention: Xiao Guodong has scored a 147, his career second one, in his 5-0 win against Mink Nutcharut, while Matthew Selt has won his 500th career pro match beating Louis Heathcote 5-2 #147sf

At the end of an intense final, Neil Robertson brings home the 2025 #SaudiMasters title as well as a 500k prize money. The Thunder from Down Under survives a crazy comeback from 2-7 to 7-7 by Ronnie O’Sullivan, who even had a 9-8 lead before eventually losing in a decider. What a match! #147sf
