Professional snooker's longest-running, most prestigious and financially-rewarding competition is upon us, with the draw for the 2022 World Snooker Championship complete.

The 16 players who made it through the qualifying competition joined the 16 top-ranked players in the world in the first round.

Mark Selby was looking to defend his title, and pick up the fifth World Championship crown of his career, but faltered in round two. 

World No.1 Ronnie O'Sullivan won his first World Championship over two decades ago, in 2001, and made that seven this year, defeating Judd Trump in the final.
