Wikipedia - 2023 Wuhan Open (snooker)
The 2023 Wuhan Open (officially the 2023 Panda Club Wuhan Open) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 9 to 15 October 2023 at the Wuhan Gymnasium in Wuhan, China. The fifth ranking event of the 2023–24 season, it followed the 2023 English Open and preceded the 2023 Northern Ireland Open. The inaugural edition of the Wuhan Open, it was the second professional snooker tournament (following the invitational 2023 Shanghai Masters) and the first ranking event held in mainland China since the 2019 World Open, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was broadcast domestically in China by CCTV-5 and in Europe (including the UK) by Eurosport and Discovery+. It was available from Matchroom Sport in all other territories. The winner received £140,000 from a total prize fund of £700,000.
Qualifiers took place from 1 to 5 September at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England. Qualifying matches featuring the top two players in the world rankings (Ronnie O'Sullivan and Luca Brecel), the two highest ranked Chinese players (Ding Junhui and Zhou Yuelong), and four Chinese wildcards were held over to be played in Wuhan. The reigning world champion Brecel withdrew in advance of the tournament's main stage, as did Mark Williams, Graeme Dott, and David Gilbert.
Judd Trump won the tournament, defeating Ali Carter 10–7 in the final to secure the 25th ranking title of his career, which put him level with Williams in joint fifth place on the all-time list. Having claimed the English Open title the previous week, Trump won back-to-back ranking events for the fourth time in his career. He became the third player in snooker history to win back-to-back ranking tournaments in different countries, after Stephen Hendry in 1990 and Williams in 2002.
The qualifiers in Leicester produced 32 centuries and the main stage in Wuhan produced 69 centuries. The highest break prize was shared by Aaron Hill, who made a 145 break in his qualifying match against Joe Perry, and Carter, who made a 145 in his last-64 match against Jamie Clarke.
