What is the World Grand Prix?

There’s no let up in the snooker calendar as the World Grand Prix has arrived. The event sees the top 32 players from the one-year ranking list in action and is the first of three tournaments that are part of the Players Series.

Ronnie O’Sullivan is the defending champion after he defeated Neil Robertson 10-8 in an exciting final last season, but the Rocket lost to Saengkham in the last 16 this time out. This year’s event is back in Cheltenham for the first time in three years.
