SNOOKER fans are being spoilt this month as the World Seniors Championship is now underway just days after Kyren Wilson became king of the Crucible!
Wilson, 32, claimed the first World Championship title of his career after beating qualifier Jak Jones 18-14 in a mouthwatering final.
And the likes of Jimmy White and Ken Doherty would have been watching on in awe, hoping they will be victorious in the Senior Championship.
White arrived in Sheffield looking to secure a record-extending fifth World Seniors crown after defeating tournament debutant Alfie Burden during the 2023 final.
But the English legend has been dumped out of the competition courtesy of Brazilian Igor Figueiredo.
