Snooker tournament
The 2013 Sports Lottery Cup Wuxi Classic was a professional ranking snooker tournament held between 17 and 23 June 2013 at the Wuxi City Sports Park Stadium in Wuxi , China. It was the first ranking event of the 2013/2014 season .[1]
The tournament was the first to use the new format, similar to the one used in the minor-ranking Players Tour Championship events, where every player, including members of the top 16, started in the first round.[2] Some of the sport's biggest names did not reach the tournament's final stage. Reigning world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrew for personal reasons shortly before his qualifying match against Michael Wasley .[3] World number one Mark Selby lost his qualifying match 3–5 to Andrew Pagett .[4] World number four Shaun Murphy also exited the tournament at the qualifying stage, losing 1–5 to Alex Davies .[5]
Nine-time women's world champion Reanne Evans defeated Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 5–4 in her qualifying match to become the first woman ever to reach the final stages of a major professional ranking tournament.[6] [7] Evans was chosen as one of four players to play against local opponents in the wildcard round, and she lost 2–5 against Chinese teenager Zhu Yinghui .[8] [9]
Ricky Walden was the defending champion,[10] [11] but he lost 2–5 against Jimmy White in the last 64.[9] [12]
Neil Robertson won his eighth ranking title by defeating John Higgins 10–7 in the final.[13] [14] Robertson also made the 98th official maximum break during his qualifying match against Mohamed Khairy . This was Robertson's second 147 break and the first in the 2013/2014 season .[15]
Prize fund [ edit ]
The total prize money of the event was raised to £470,000 from the previous year's £400,000. This is £45,000 more than what was announced in 2012 .[16] The breakdown of prize money for this year is shown below:[17]
