The Crucible is almost ready to fling open its doors to the globe's finest snooker players as the World Snooker Championship approaches.
A total of 128 players will take to the table in the hunt for glory, with reigning world champion Luca Brecel aiming to do the unthinkable – again.
Brecel has experienced mixed fortunes since his 2023 triumph. He sits No. 37 on the one-year ranking list, and is not favoured to defend his title this year.
Judd Trump and Ronnie O'Sullivan are the hot favourites to progress through the rounds, following an exceptional winning year from Trump and sporadic, masterful performances from O'Sullivan across the calendar.
Fans around the globe will be desperate for the season-ending tournament to roll around. The wait is almost over.
