11:35 PM, UK, Thursday May 2, 2024

The 2024 World Snooker Championship will take place in Sheffield from April 20 to May 6.

Ronnie O’Sullivan won the 2022 World Championship, equaling Stephen Hendry’s record of seven Crucible crowns, but was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Stuart Bingham.

The Rocket had appeared on a collision course with Judd Trump in the semi-finals, with Trump defeated 13-9 by Welsh qualifier Jack Jones in a shock result.

There was little difference between the two matches after the opening session of the semi-finals on Thursday, with Jones battling back to 4-4 in his match against Bingham after Kyren Wilson and David Gilbert also battled to reach the same scoreline.
