Wuhan Open Snooker 2024: Schedule, results and how to watch huge tournament with Trump in action but O’Sullivan OUT

SNOOKER fans are being spoilt this year as attention now turns to the Wuhan Open 2024 – and some of the big hitters are set to feature in China.

Judd Trump lifted the 2023 silverware after beating Ali Carter in a thrilling final.

The World No 1 will be determined to reclaim his title ahead of a whole host of top snooker stars.

One huge name that won’t be involved is Ronnie O’Sullivan after he withdrew from the tournament due to “medical reasons”.

The likes of John Higgins, Kyren Wilson and Jimmy White will also participate.

However, former World Champions Mark Selby, Stuart Bingham and Luca Brecel all miss out.
