Ronnie beat Joe O’Connor by 5-3 today to book his place in the round of 16 at the 2026 World Grand Prix. It wasn’t straightforward and, TBH, it wasn’t a high quality match. For some reason both players appeared to struggle with the conditions and were far from their break-building best. Ronnie in particular struggled badly early in the match. There was not one century in the match which is rather unusual nowadays.
Ronnie will now face Xiaoguodong in the round of 16.
As alwatys, all the detailed results are available on snooker.org.
Here are the scores for that match:
And here is the report shared by WST:
World Grand Prix 2026 Day Two Round-Up
Nine Chinese players have reached the last 16 of the World Grand Prix – a record for any ranking event – and among them is Crucible king Zhao Xintong who scored a superb 5-3 win over John Higgins on day two in Hong Kong.
Alongside Zhao in Thursday’s last-16 line up are Zhou Yuelong, Yuan Sijun, Wu Yize, Chang Bingyu, Zhang Anda, Pang Junxu, Si Jiahui and Xiao Guodong, underlining the increasing strength of Chinese players at snooker’s elite level.
It has been a mixed season for Zhao so far – he won the invitational Riyadh Season Snooker Championship in November but in ranking events he has reached just one semi-final and is in danger of missing out on this month’s Sportsbest.io Players Championship, for the top 16 on the one-year list. But from 2-1 down today against Higgins, he stepped up to the challenge and took four of the last five frames with top breaks of 60, 121, 73. Frame eight came down to a respotted black, and a rare weak safety from Higgins gifted his opponent the chance to pot the black to a baulk corner for victory.
“Towards the end, John gave me a few relatively easier chances and I managed to take them, so I think I was quite fortunate today,” said Zhao, who now meets Mark Selby. “I just tried to play in the way I normally do and stick to the style I believe in. I have confidence in my own game, and I feel that if I can perform to my normal level and show my form, then I can beat anyone. This is my first time playing in Hong Kong, so close to home, and to be able to compete in such a big event here means a lot to me.“
Ronnie O’Sullivan moved a step closer to a first ranking title in over two years as he beat Joe O’Connor 5-3, coming from 2-0 down to win five of the next six frames with top breaks of 65, 72 and 72.
“I don’t think a lack of sharpness is my problem because I have always played less tournaments than other players,” said O’Sullivan, who will face Xiao Guodong next. “I think my bad game is a lot worse than it used to be, and my good is not as good. That’s the reason I am not winning as much. I am probably not a very good player any more and I have to accept that. I am trying to find a way to keep playing without it driving me crazy. I posted about Novak Djokovic the other day, he is the best in any sport at managing emotions and we all try to be like him, but it’s not easy.“
Defending champion Neil Robertson was thrashed 5-1 by Jak Jones, who has only recently returned to action after being forced to take several weeks out with a broken right hand. “That’s a really big win for me,” said 2024 Crucible finalist Jones, whose top break today was 80. “The hand is still painful but it is healing well. I broke two of the bones and that’s not an injury you want as a snooker player.”
World number one Judd Trump saw his hopes of winning back-to-back ranking titles ended by a surprise 5-2 reverse against Yuan. Trump won the German Masters in Berlin on Sunday and after flying to Hong Kong – where he lives for much of the year – he hoped to continue his hot streak, but was outplayed by world number 31 Yuan whose top break was 103.
Yuan, who also has cause for celebration away from the table as he recently got married, said: “I was a bit nervous at the start, but once I made a century in the opening frame, I felt much more settled. I had never beaten him before, so the closer I got to winning, the stronger that desire to finally win became. Hong Kong is one of the most important events for us Chinese players, so I really hope I can keep winning.”
Si top scored with 102 in a 5-2 win over Gary Wilson while Scottish Open champion Chris Wakelin enjoyed a 5-0 whitewash of Thepchaiya Un-Nooh with a top run of 96. Ali Carter, a semi-finalist in Berlin last week, recovered a 3-1 deficit to edge out Mark Allen 5-4 win a top break of 86. Pang impressed in a 5-1 win over Shaun Murphy, firing runs of 73, 134 and 130.
Ronnie head a great friendship with John Virgo and shared this on X:
My thoughts are with John’s family and friends in these difficult moments. I had the privilege to meet John a few times at exhibition events. He knew a lot about his sport that he loved deeply, he was friendly and very funny and he still could play a bit despite various physical issues.
I wonder if the Angels welcomed John in Paradise with his favourite question: “Where is the cue ball going?” 1… that would be fitting and I’m sure he’d love that.
There are 40 teams involved in this event. It’s a very important event in the CBSA calendar and players can’t really refuse to play if they were chosen to represent their region.
Here are the teams and their members.
I have put the current main tour players that I identified in bold. There are also several former pros in this competition. Bai Yulu is competing too. Bai Yulu is eligible for the Q-Tour but will certainly miss the first events as she has been chosen to represent China in Russia, where the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South-Africa – have a multi sport event, including a snooker competition.

(*) not the most democratic countries club I’m afraid
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association Group of organisations (WPBSA) has today announced the launch of WPBSA Q Tour Global which will carry four World Snooker Tour cards.
Following two successful seasons based within the UK and mainland Europe, this season’s WPBSA Q Tour Global will for the first time incorporate regional events held around the world, each offering access to an extended Q Tour Playoff at the end of the season.
WPBSA Q TOUR UK/EUROPE
As in previous seasons, the rebranded WPBSA Q Tour UK/Europe will retain its previous format, with an expanded calendar of seven events to be held across the season.
To include four tournaments within the UK and a further three in mainland Europe, the circuit will once again see players compete to finish the season as the top ranked player and earn a place on the World Snooker Tour.
The next 16-ranked players (to include each event champion) will be guaranteed to qualify for the season-end Q Tour Global Playoff.
Each Q Tour UK/Europe event will carry an increased prize fund of over £14,000 and will be open to players from around the world. As in previous seasons, 48 players (see below) will be seeded through to Saturday’s last 64, to be joined by 16 qualifiers.
THE DATES
The provisional dates for this season’s Q Tour UK/Europe are:
Q Tour 1 – 25-27 August 2023 – North East Snooker Centre, UK
Q Tour 2 – 15-17 September 2023 – Snookerhallen, SWEDEN
Q Tour 3 – 20-22 October 2023 – Heilbronn, GERMANY
Q Tour 4 – 10-12 November 2023 Landywood Snooker Club, UK
Q Tour 5 – 15-17 December 2023 – Castle Snooker, Brighton, UK
Q Tour 6 – 5-7 January 2024 – Sofia, BULGARIA
Q Tour 7 – 16-18 February 2024 – Northern Snooker Centre, UK
As was the case last season, each weekend tournament will be made up of 64 players comprising the following:
The top 32 eligible players from the 2023 UK Q School Order of Merit eligible to compete.
Iulian Boiko, Haydon Pinhey, Sydney Wilson, Duane Jones, Alfie Davies, Barry Pinches, Rory McLeod, Steven Hallworth, Simon Bedford, Florian Nuessle, Alex Taubman, Jamie O’Neill, Peter Lines, Ryan Davies, Fergal Quinn, Joshua Thomond, Josh Mulholland, Sean McAllister, Daniel Holoyda, Robin Hull, Craig Steadman, Chris Totten, Michael Holt, Zachary Richardson, Umut Dikme, Ben Fortey, Lewis Ullah, Daniel Womersley, Harvey Chandler, Jamie Curtis-Barrett, Martyn Taylor, James Lee
The top 8 from the 2023 Asia-Oceania Q School Order of Merit
Ka Wai Cheung, Lei Peifan, Yu Kiu Chang, Gong Chenzhi, Jefrey Roda, Dhruv, Jatan Patel, Asutosh Padhy, Khalid Ali Alkamali
The eight highest ranked junior players on the 2023 UK Q School Order of Merit, not already qualified.
Bai Yulu, Antoni Kowalski, Liam Davies, Jamie Wilson, Bulcsu Revesz, Oliver Sykes, Vladislav Gradinari, Paul Deaville
EVENT ENTRY
The 48 qualified players will be contacted directly by email with entry instructions. Each player will be required to pay a block entry fee of £525 by 12:00pm on 28 July and will be guaranteed a place in the last 64 of each UK/Europe tournament.
Following this date, subject to the number of players who have accepted and paid for their Q Tour UK/Europe place, we will contact top up players as required until we have 48 confirmed players for each event. These players will have until 12:00pm 1 August to claim their place.
Open entry for all Friday qualifying tournaments will be opened to all players from no later than 2 August. We aim to accommodate all players who wish to enter, however, we do reserve the right to limit entries for each qualifier subject to the number of tables available at the club and time available.
For the first time, the WPBSA Q Tour Global will incorporate regional Q Tour Series’ staged around the world as part of the planned international expansion of Q Tour.
The WPBSA welcomes expressions of interest to stage Q Tour tournaments from recognised organisations and national federations which share our vision for high-quality amateur events.
As part of the WPBSA’s commitment to the international growth of our sport, the leading players from these Regional Q Tour events will qualify to compete at the Q Tour Global Playoff, alongside players from Q Tour UK/Europe.
Players competing in Q Tour events outside of UK/Europe, must be resident for a minimum six months to be eligible to play in these events.
Q TOUR PLAYOFF
The WPBSA Q Tour Global Playoff will be relaunched for the 2023/24 season with three places on the World Snooker Tour to be won for the first time.
As in previous seasons, the Playoff will include the winners of Q Tour UK/Europe events, followed the highest ranked remaining players up to 16 players. They will be joined by a further eight players from regional Q Tour events held around the world. Should these places not be taken, they will be filled by additional players from the Q Tour UK/Europe Rankings.
In recognition of the increased status of the Playoff, the event will be held over three days and will be made up of three sections of eight players, meaning qualifiers into this season’s prestigious grand final will only need to win three matches at the Playoff to earn a place on the World Snooker Tour. Quarter-finals will be played over the best of nine frames, semi-finals the best of 11 frames and the finals over the best of 19 frames.
The Playoff will also carry a prize fund of almost £20,000 for the first time, with each tour card winner set to take home £2,000. Each qualifier will be guaranteed to earn at least £500, with prize money increasing to £750, £1,000 and the £2,000 top prize.
“THE ULTIMATE TEST”
Jason Ferguson, WPBSA Chairman said: “Our WPBSA Q Tour has quickly become a key cornerstone in the amateur snooker calendar, offering direct access to the World Snooker Tour and regular competition at high-quality venues.
“We are therefore now delighted to be able to launch the WPBSA Q Tour Global, which for the first time enables players around the world to be able to compete and potentially earn their place on the professional circuit. It is particularly important to add that this new global model will serve players all over the world with life changing opportunities. It is also important to state that our vision includes working with federations and partners around the world who share our vision of a truly open global sport.
“I am hugely excited by the potential of Q Tour and in particular now the Global Playoff, with long frame formats, I can only speak on this as a former snooker player, when I say this is the ultimate test for players aiming to take the next step with a full-time career on the World Snooker Tour.
“We will soon be writing to our many partners and friends around the world, inviting them to join us in this truly global plan.”
FURTHER INFORMATION
The 48 players eligible to accept a seeded place on Q Tour UK/Europe will be contacted shortly with instructions on how to accept their place.
Further information, including open entry details and full entry packs, will be published as soon as possible.
More details will follow shortly on how federations and/or organisations can develop their plans and ideas with us.
All this is extremely good news. I want to see this as the start of a proper secondary tour. I do hope that the Q-Tour playoffs will be streamed and that fans will be allowed to attend. This I hope is the seed for a proper, much needed secondary tour. I’m only disappointed that there is no event in Belgium. I’m also pleased that Bai Yulu has been invited. Matches are played over a longer format in the latter stages too.
The qualifiers run from Tuesday July 25 to Saturday July 29 in Leicester* followed by the final stages in Nuremberg, Germany from August 22-27.
…

The 2022 London Masters was played this week-end at the Alexandre Palace theatre.
The event was won by Ronnie who beat Stephen Hendry by 6-3 in the final.
On Saturday, Reanne Evans played Stephen Hendry in the afternoon, and Ronnie played Jimmy White in the evening. Stephen beat Reanne by 6-4, Ronnie beat Jimmy by 6-5. Ronnie was 3-1 down at the MSI and needed two snookers in the decider.
On Sunday, the afternoon started with some “Snooker Cabaret” before Jimmy beat Reanne by 4-1 in the “Small Final”. In the evening, the theatre was packed. Ronnie lead Stephen Hendry by 4-0 at the MSI. Stephen fought back to trail only 5-3, but it was in vain as Ronnie took the next frame to win by 6-3.
They had an illustious visitor in the person of Sir Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf. It was allegedly the first time that Sir Ian attended a snooker match live. Hopefully he was treated with some table wizzardy.
Here are some pictures taken over the week-end and shared on social media, mainly by Jason Francis.
The fitters who set the table also shared an interesting video about the process of building and tuning the table at the venue before the event.
Ronnie was in Huddersfield yesterday for the second exhibition this week. As usual, feedback on social media has been excellent.
This is what Jason sent me yesterday after the exhibition:
131 and 103. We introduced safety measures so no meet and greet to protect people. Nice new club, ronnie was very impressed with young lad called Stanley. We are on shut down now but hopefully by the next exhibition on 16th April things will be better. Ronnie is very concerned about coronavirus and asks people to take it seriously and keep well
Yong Stanley lead Ronnie by 60 before Ronnie cleared with 61. Here is Stanley with Ronnie, and a view of the club …
Reanne Evans won the Women World Championship 2019, beating Nutcharut Wongharuthai by 6-3 in Bangkog yesterday evening. Here is the report by WPBSA.
Evans Wins Record 12th World Championship Title
23rd June 2019
England’s Reanne Evans has won the World Women’s Snooker Championship for a record-extending 12th time following a 6-3 victory against Thailand’s Nutcharut Wongharuthai in Bangkok this evening.
The world number one has had to watch Hong Kong’s Ng On Yee lift the trophy during each of the past two years since her last success in 2016 but this time was not to be denied as she emerged from a high-quality international field of 53 players to reclaim the biggest title in women’s snooker.
The final proved to be a high-quality affair, 19-year-old Wongharuthai taking the opening frame with a break of 61 before Evans claimed the next two to hit the front.
The following two frames were shared to give Evans a 3-2 lead at the mid-session interval, before the Dudley star added the sixth to move two clear for the first time.
Back came Wongharuthai with a break of 56 but it was Evans who was to finish in style, a tournament-high run of 92 enough to secure the high break prize before she claimed what would prove to be the final frame with a run of 43 to seal the title.
“It feels pretty good!” said a thrilled Evans shortly after the final. “It has been a long time coming after my 11th and it does mean more after losing during the past two years. I had such a good run [winning the title 10 years in a row from 2005-2014] but it obviously has been frustrating and gutting for that to end and to have lost a bit of confidence.
“The final was really tight all the way through. I was a little bit edgy at the start but I still felt good and towards the end I felt even better, I wasn’t letting it go this year.”
Despite her loss in today’s final, Evans was impressed by her young opponent who continues to show improvement in her game.
“You can tell her shot selection is getting better,” added Evans. “Her technique is brilliant, she is a lovely person and her temperament is great. She laughs everything off and just gets on with it, that’s the right way to be.”
Evans reflected on what has been a fantastic week for women’s snooker which saw the staging of the inaugural Women’s Snooker World Cup and the biggest World Championship for a generation with players having travelled from 14 different countries to compete.
“I’m really happy because the standard has been so good here this year,” continued Dudley’s Evans. “It could have been anyone winning it from the quarter-finals stage and fingers crossed that these players will keep competing and inspire others to play. I’m just happy to win against all the youngsters now, they are so attacking. A few shot selections have let them down but that’s about it and that comes with experience.
“The tournament has been amazing, one of the best ones ever. The facilities have been top class, the hospitality has been fantastic, it has been well-run and all the people have been brilliant. It has also been amazing to have so many matches streamed live which will only add to the interest in women’s snooker.”
Earlier in the day Evans came through a tough semi-final contest against another Thai player Baipat Siripaporn winning 5-3, while Wongharuthai ended the challenge of 12-time European champion Wendy Jans 5-2.
The victory represents a sixth ranking event title success of the season for Evans and extends a streak dating back to her maiden title in 2005 of the World Women’s Snooker Championship being won by her and three-time champion Ng On Yee.
There was victory for Hong Kong in the Challenge Cup event for players who did not make it to the knockout rounds of the main competition as So Man Yan defeated India’s Chitra Magimairaj 3-2 in the final.
Congratulations Reanne!
As for Mink, she did herself and her country proud. She’s only 19 and is improving rapidly. She has been working with Stuart Pettman over the last months and it pays off. Stuart Pettman is a former pro. He never was a top player, but he certainly wasn’t a numpty either. When he left the main tour, he wrote a book: “Stuart Pettman: As Sometimes Seen on TV”. It’s one of the best snooker books I ever read. It’s a bitter-sweet insight in the life of a journeyman on the tour. Here is the review Matt Huart did at the time. I’m not sure if the book is still available, via Matt or otherwise.
It was an enjoyable competition to watch, with an excellent coverage. The level is rapidly improving on the Women circuit. The whole organisation was fantastic and the owner of the club should be proud. He came on social media with this:
I am grateful that I am being a manager here at the Hi End Snooker Club Thailand because it gives me a chance to meet you I wish you all the best for all that you do and would like to say thank you for making this possible.
Hope to see you again soon for the next World Championship Tournament.
Thank you very much.
Is the new tour Jason Francis is planning with Ronnie coming June and July. Some very special limited items will be available ONLY on those nights, commemorating the “1000 centuries” achievement.
Jason is looking for clubs able to host those “Nights”. Here is what he posted on social media. If you are a club owner and interested please contact Jason. If you are a fan and want to go to one of those events … DO NOT contact Jason. Places and dates have not yet been organised. When they are I will publish all the info on this blog.
If your club fancies staging one of our ‘A Night of 1000 Centuries’ Ronnie shows then please email me as I will have some dates in June and July. @ronnieo147 maximum audience of 200 so very intimate and allows Ronnie to meet EVERYONE email info@snookerlegends.co.uk
