Mark Selby Player Overview
Mark confidently navigated the opening round in Manchester. The snooker player did what was expected of him: solid statistics indicate there were no significant issues (though the average time per shot is a bit concerning). Selby certainly didn't play flawlessly, but he was nearly always precise when it mattered most. It's worth noting that his opponent wasn't exactly top-tier. Robertson, however, is on a completely different level, and Mark will need to muster all his resources. Historically, he struggles against the Australian, but all streaks eventually come to an end. Selby's season stats: a 72% win rate, 153 breaks over 50 points, 61 century breaks, and one maximum break.
