Ronnie O'Sullivan
Ronnie doesn't need any special introduction, because he is actually the most famous snooker player in the world and a living legend of this sport. The list of titles of the athlete can be long, but the most important one is that he is a seven-time world champion.
O'Sullivan is in good shape, because now he heads the world ranking, the skill of the "rocket" is not in doubt, more important is his psychological state, if he is in the mood, it will be difficult for anyone to resist.

The athlete is 48 years old, which does not prevent him from showing top-level snooker.
Jackson Page
Young Page only started his professional career in 2019, he is now 22 years old and is ranked 43rd in the world standings. This tournament had to start with qualifying, there managed to beat guys like: Graham Dott - 10:5 and Noppon Sengkham - 10:9.
