The World Snooker Championship 2022 begins with a blockbuster day of talent on Saturday with reigning champions among the line-up.<\/p>\n
The full World Snooker Championship main draw is yet to be made, but the seeded stars have been placed in slots across the week to come as they await news of their opposition.<\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s victor Mark Selby will open up his title defence with the first match of the competition, while Zhao Xintong will kick-start his tournament on the opposite table.<\/p>\n
The action moves onto an afternoon session that will feature Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan and Barry Hawkins on the tables against unseeded players hoping to make an impact on the big stage.<\/p>\n
Finally, Saturday evening will see Selby return to finish off his encounter while defeated 2021 finalist Shaun Murphy begins his championship.<\/p>\n
