SNOOKER

Judd Trump fired two century breaks as he began his World Open campaign with a 5-2 win over Rory Thor. Trump won the tournament last time it was held in 2019 and will hope to defend that title following its return to the tour after a four-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. World champion Luca Brecel made light work of Manasawin Phetmalaikul in a 5-1 victory. The Belgian posted breaks of 131, 100 and 94 to book his place in the last 32. Shaun Murphy showcased his battling qualities as he edged a tight encounter with Xu Si to make the last 16. Ali Carter produced breaks of 114 and 135 as he got past Louis Heathcote 5-3 while Mark Selby was given a walkover as Adam Duffy withdrew. However, world no 3 Mark Allen crashed out to 5-3 to Welshman Daniel Wells. Ronnie O’Sullivan is in action today as he faces Michael White.
