Chuffed to bits that Alan "Angles" McManus is part of Channel 5's Snooker punditry team. Listening to him whether he's in the studio or commentary box always brightens up my day, even whilst going through a rough time. Thank you 5! 😊

The 2026 #GermanMasters title goes to Judd Trump, who with a 10 - 4 victory over Shaun Murphy has captured his first piece of silverware since the 2024 UK Championship. πŸŽ±πŸ†
This marks Judd's fourth career German Masters title, and his 31st ranking title to date.

Many congratulations to Kyren Wilson who secures his first ever Masters title with a 10 - 6 victory over John Higgins, to capture the Paul Hunter Trophy, and his second career triple crown title. πŸŽ±πŸ‘

Up next for Shaun Murphy is Zhang Anda, who is through to his third consecutive #UKChampionship quarter-final, with a brilliant performance against the reigning world champion Zhao Xintong.

The standing ovation for Ding Junhui and Scott Donaldson along with the little hug at the end of their match was so lovely to see. Commiserations to Scott after a brilliant comeback from 5 - 3 down to take it to a decider, but he should be very proud of himself. πŸŽ±πŸ‘

A tale of two halves this evening. "The Hawk" was simply flying tonight, as he whitewashed Elliot Slessor 6 - 0, whereas Shaun Murphy fought back from 4 - 1 behind in a thrilling tussle against John Higgins to scrape through 6 - 5.
The quarter-finals get underway tomorrow.

Couldn't be more thrilled for "The Jester From Leicester."πŸ₯²

His first Champion of Champions title, and to win it in front of his home crowd; what a week it's been for Mark Selby -
A true Snooker great! πŸŽ±πŸ‘

Yuan Sijun and David Lilley are just a few events away from participating in their 147th professional tournament (providing they make it through the qualifying stages of course.)

Yuan's currently competed in 144 pro events, with David close behind at 143

We all knew there was something special about this tremendous player, even before he emerged on the main tour four years ago.
A huge congratulations to Wu Yize who has finally captured his maiden ranking title at the 2025 #InternationalChampionship πŸ†πŸ‘

After Jack Lisowski's triumph in Belfast, the total number of players who are ranking event winners currently stands at 79, which means that if Wu Yize wins on Sunday, he'll become the 80th player to have won a ranking title. πŸŽ±πŸ†

Well done to Stephen Maguire, though I am gutted for Kyren Wilson. Snooker can be a cruel game at times. πŸ˜”
The result sadly may not have gone his way, but I do applaud "The Warrior" for reaching his 50th century break of exactly πŸ’―

A great effort overall by Allan Taylor against Ronnie O'Sullivan, but four consecutive centuries including his 64th career break of exactly πŸ’― allowed "The Rocket" to seal a 6 - 5 victory.

It's been a 15-year wait, but after an outstanding climax at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast between two great friends, Jack Lisowski is a ranking event winner at last.πŸ†

A truly sensational talent and a total gentleman - absolutely chuffed to bits for him! πŸ₯°πŸ‘

This is literally "heart in the mouth" stuff at the Waterfront Hall. With Jack Lisowski now requiring just one more frame for a maiden ranking title, I really hope he hangs in there and finally make the breakthrough 🎱🀞

It will be a case of putting their friendship aside today, for Judd Trump and Jack Lisowski will be going head-to-head in the 2025 Northern Ireland Open final.

My head says Judd, but deep down I'm very much hoping that it will finally be the day that Jack clinches his first ever ranking title.🀞

A sensational, record breaking triumph in China for Mark Williams. He becomes the oldest player ever to win a ranking event since Ray Reardon back in 1982, and the first player to win ranking titles in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s.
What a player, what a character! πŸŽ±πŸ‘

Mark Allen has secured his 12th career ranking title, as he becomes the 2025 English Open champion. Having overcome a terrific comeback from Zhou Yuelong who trailed 5 - 1 then 6 - 2 at the end of the 1st session, "The Pistol" hung in there to take the decider and capture the Steve Davis Trophy πŸ†πŸ‘

The 2025 English Open final will see Mark Allen take on Zhou Yuelong for the Steve Davis Trophy. Will it be ranking event title no. 12 for "The Pistol", or will Zhou make the breakthrough and capture his first ever one? Tune in tomorrow to find out! πŸŽ±πŸ†

A terrific final to bring this season's Wuhan Open to a close. Many congratulations to Xiao Guodong, as he retains the title for a second consecutive season. πŸ†πŸ‘
Commiserations to Gary Wilson, for it went all the way to a decider, and was a very impressive performance from both players.

That was pretty much a final for the ages. Ronnie O'Sullivan produced a fantastic comeback from 7 - 2 down to lead 9 - 8, but "The Thunder From Down Under" hung in there to emerge victorious and capture the 2025 #SaudiArabiaMasters title. Huge congratulations to Robbo πŸ†πŸ‘

OH MY GOSH!! Take a bow, Zhao Xintong. πŸŽ±πŸ‘

A truly phenomenal performance by the Chinese sensation, as he's through to this year's #WorldChanpionship final with a session to spare, after a 17 - 7 victory over "The Rocket." Loved the heartwarming scenes at the end of the match too

The record for the most number of century breaks in a single season on the professional tour has been broken, courtesy of Judd Trump who has made 104 centuries this season so far, surpassing Neil Robertson's record of 103 back in the 2013/14 season. πŸŽ±πŸ‘
