Jimmy White vs Mark Selby Result, Score & Stats

⭐️ Jimmy White and Mark Selby are set to face off at the International Championship in Nanjing, China. The 64-year-old White continues to compete at the professional level, having secured his spot in the main draw after edging out Matthew Stevens 6-5. However, the veteran now faces a far sterner test against the world number four. Selby remains one of the sport’s elite players, though his recent form has been inconsistent. Notably, the Englishman suffered defeats to Judd Trump (0-5) and Louis Heathcote (2-4) in recent tournaments.

Despite these recent setbacks, Selby enters as the clear favourite thanks to his superior skill set and ability to dictate the pace in drawn-out frames. While White is capable of making things competitive in individual frames, maintaining that intensity over the course of the match will be a tough ask. Furthermore, Selby has come out on top in each of their last five head-to-head meetings. Given the gap in class between the two and the best-of-11 format, backing Mark Selby with a -3.5 frame handicap looks a solid bet.
