The 2023 British Open (officially the 2023 Cazoo British Open) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 25 September to 1 October 2023 at the Centaur in Cheltenham, England.[1] Qualifying took place from 14 to 19 August at the Morningside Arena in Leicester. The third ranking tournament of the 2023–24 snooker season, it followed the 2023 European Masters and preceded the 2023 English Open. Organised by the World Snooker Tour and sponsored by car retailer Cazoo,[2] it was broadcast domestically in the UK by ITV Sport, in Europe by Eurosport, and internationally by other broadcasters. The winner received £100,000 from a total prize fund of £478,000.

The defending champion was Ryan Day, who defeated Mark Allen 10–7 in the 2022 final,[3] but he lost 2–4 to Ali Carter in the last 32.[4] Mark Williams defeated Mark Selby 10–7 in the final to win his third British Open title and his 25th ranking title.[5][6] Aged 48 years and 194 days, he became the second-oldest player to win a ranking event, behind Ray Reardon, who won the 1982 Professional Players Tournament aged 50 years and 14 days.[7][6]

The event's main stage produced 51 century breaks and the qualifying round produced 11 centuries. Xiao Guodong made the tournament's highest break, a 140 in his quarter-final match against Tom Ford.

Summary

World number one Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrew from the tournament for medical reasons and was replaced in the draw by Steven Hallworth.[11]

Qualifying round

Qualifying for the tournament took place from 14 to 19 August 2023 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England, although qualifiers featuring the defending champion and the top 15 players in the snooker world rankings were held over and played in Cheltenham.[12] The highest break made during the Leicester qualifiers was a 136 by Daniel Wells.[13][14]

Early rounds

The reigning world champion Luca Brecel lost 3–4 to Ding Junhui in their held-over qualifying match. This meant that Brecel was unable to overtake Ronnie O'Sullivan as the world number one.[15] Mark Allen, who defeated Anthony McGill 4–1, would have overtaken O'Sullivan had he won the tournament,[16] but he was whitewashed 0–4 by Kyren Wilson in his first-round match.[17]

Also in the first round, world number four Judd Trump lost 3–4 to world number 113 Hammad Miah,[18][19][20] while world number six Neil Robertson lost 1–4 to world number 30 Si Jiahui.[21] World number nine John Higgins was beaten 1–4 by world number 47 Robbie Williams,[22] and world number 22 Stuart Bingham was defeated 2–4 by world number 105 Ishpreet Singh Chadha.[17]

Later rounds

In the last 16, Mark Selby defeated David Gilbert 4–3 in a match that ended just before 00:45 BST. Gilbert lost the decider when he went in-off on the final black ball. Williams defeated Ding 4–2.[23][24]

In the quarter-finals, Williams defeated Fan Zhengyi 5–1, making two centuries. Hossein Vafaei lost the first two frames against He Guoqiang but went on to win five consecutive frames, making two centuries, for a 5–2 win. Selby defeated Jack Lisowski 5–4. Xiao Guodong defeated Tom Ford 5–3, making the tournament's highest break of 140 in the final frame.[25][26][27][28]

In the semi-finals, Williams defeated Vafaei 6–3 and Selby whitewashed Xiao 6–0, making a 123 break in the fourth frame.[29][30][31]

Final

The final was played over the best of 19 frames between Williams and Selby. In the afternoon session, Williams made two century breaks as he won five of the first six frames. Selby won the last two frames of the session, reducing Williams's lead to 5–3.[32] After the first four frames of the evening session, Williams maintained his two-frame lead at 7–5. Williams took the 13th frame, but Selby won the 54-minute 14th frame and also took the 15th with a 68 break to trail by one at 8–7. Selby led by 56 points in the 16th frame, but Williams, who had not potted a ball for 39 minutes, made a 69 clearance to move one from victory at 9–7. In the 17th frame, Williams required a snooker but got the foul points he required and won the frame on the black, clinching the match 10–7. It was Williams's third British Open title—having previously won the tournament in 1997 and 2021—and his 25th ranking title. Aged 48 years and 194 days, he surpassed 2022 Welsh Open champion Joe Perry to become the second-oldest winner of a ranking title. Ray Reardon remained the oldest ranking winner, having won the 1982 Professional Players Tournament at age 50.[5][6] "I never expected I could still get to finals at 48 and win, playing someone like Mark Selby", Williams commented.[5]
