The Welsh Open continues with a strong pack of contenders hoping to make the most of their week in Newport.

Reigning champion Jordan Brown, who upset the odds to triumph in 2021, failed to make the cut in qualifying, meaning a new king will be crowned.

Among those vying for top spot, Neil Robertson, who has enjoyed an excellent start to 2022.

Barry Hawkins, Mark Allen and Judd Trump have also weaved their way into the second round already, while Ronnie O’Sullivan is yet to feature.

Fans across the UK and the wider world will be keen to see their favourites in action during another tense home nations encounter, who will emerge with the title?
