2024 English Open Snooker: Wednesday 18th September Preview, Matches, Order of Play


In the morning session, there is an all-Leicester derby between Mark Selby and Joe O’Connor - a rematch of their Crucible first round meeting from a few months ago that O’Connor won.
World number one and defending English Open Champion Judd Trump looks to continue his sensational start to the 2024/25 season when he meets Matthew Selt. Trump has won 16 out of his 17 matches this term, so far, and collected the Shanghai Masters and the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters titles.
