Who Are The Favourites For The 2021 UK Championship Snooker?

  • Neil Robertson – Three-time winner and current number 4 in the world, “The Thunder from Down Under” feels at home at the UK Championship. He’s fresh off the back of an impressive win at the English Open where he won his first crown in six attempts.
  • Mark Selby – “The Jester from Leicester” is a serial winner on tour. The reigning world champion has two UK Championships to his name and is currently ranked number 1 in the world.
  • Ronnie O’Sullivan – O’Sullivan holds the most titles at the UK Championship (7) and will always be a threat at the Barbican. He’s in good form having reached the semi-finals at the English Open and will be most concerned about Stuart Bingham in his section of the draw.
  • Judd Trump – Judd Trump is number 2 in the world and has made back-to-back quarter-finals on tour at the Northern Irish and English Opens. He won the UK Championship back in the 2011/12 season and has lost two finals since – in 2014 to Ronnie O’Sullivan, and last year to Neil Robertson.
