We have World Snooker Championship 2023 odds for you ahead of the start of the most prestigious tournament in the snooker calendar.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has won the tournament a record seven times, followed by Steve Davis with six titles and Stephen Hendry with five. Mark Allen is the reigning champion, winning his first title in 2022.
Judd has been in unbeatable form at times this season winning the English Open, Wuhan Open and Northern Ireland Open in three successive tournaments becoming only the fifth player after Ray Reardon, Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and Ding Junhui to win three ranking tournaments in a row.
The success in Northern Ireland was his 20th consecutive match won, making multiple recoveries throughout the event, from 1–3 to 5–4 in his quarter-final match against Stephen Maguire and from 1–4 to 6–4 against Barry Hawkins in their semi-final. His unbeaten run ended at 22 matches against Maguire in the last 32 at the 2023 International Championship and losing 6–3 to him.
He faces Pang Junxu in the opening round and with his recent sensational streak of form he has major credentials for success here.
Ronnie chooses his events selectively these days, (which has arguably prolonged his longevity as a player). This season he has reached the third round of the UK Open, Quarter-Final of the Wuhan Open, Semi of the International Championship and he won The Shanghai Masters back last September.
He was handed a tough draw in his opening match coming up against Scotsman Anthony McGill.
The Rocket is one of the finest players in the history of the sport and today remains a major threat hence the 9/2 price.
While Selby is without success this season (yet anyway) he has shown flashes of form making the Semi of the European Masters, he was a finalist in the British Open and made the Semi of the Shanghai Masters. Mark Selby faces Mark Joyce in his opening game of the tournament.
Selby is certainly not without a chance at 7/1.
Allen is having a weaker season than he did last year though with several early competition exits. However, he also reached the Quarter-Final of the Wuhan Open, but most recently at the start of the month winning the 2023 Champion of Champions beating Trump in the final a comprehensive 10-3. He has a difficult first-round draw though coming up against Ding Junhui.
He could be finding form at the right time again and if he does 12/1 could be a snip
Higgins is yet to win a title this season but has reached the Semi-Final of the European Masters, English Open and Champion of Champions along with a Quarter-Final at the Shanghai Masters. He has been drawn in his opening game against Joe O’Connor.
He is someone you can never rule out landing the spoils at 12/1.
