British Open de snooker - Ben Mertens s'offre le scalp de Reanne Evans et passe au troisième tour

Cody Liu racks snooker balls for his son, the Hong Kong born snooker player Shaun Liu, aged 15, as he practices in the Ding Junhui Snooker Academy in the centre of Sheffield, northern England on September 10, 2025. Since 1977 the Snooker World Championship has been held every year in Sheffield's 980-seat Crucible Theatre, with an estimated 500 million spectators watching the televised broadcast across 150 countries. China's Zhao Xintong is the reigning World Snooker Champion, the first Asian player to win the title, whilst China's Bai Yulu is the reigning winner of the World Women's Snooker Championship. Snooker remains incredibly popular in China, with around 50 million people playing the game and approximately 300,000 snooker clubs, however many professional Chinese players are based in Sheffield, England as the widely-acknowledged home of the sport.
