Description: The World Snooker Championship 2024 is under way and we saw a major early shock with defending champion Luca Brecel crashing out on day one.The Belgian was on the receiving end of a stunning late comeback from qualifier David Gilbert, the former semi-finalist winning the last four frames in succession to claim a dramatic 10-9 victory at The Crucible.That was followed by fourth seed Ali Carter being bested by a strong run from Stephen Maguire, while Mark Selby looks in real trouble trailing 7-2 to Joe O’Connor. Judd Trump is though safely through to round two after defeating Iran’s Hossein Vafaei.Ronnie O’Sullivan will once again be the centre of attention in Sheffield as snooker’s biggest star aims for an eighth world title, having equalled Stephen Hendry’s modern record of seven crowns by memorably beating 2019 winner Trump 18-13 in the final two years ago.
