After Kyren Wilson's success in the German Masters, some of snooker's top stars are back in the UK for the Welsh Open.

World No.1 Judd Trump might've decided against competing in Llandudno as he looks to save himself for a World Championship bid later this year - but a packed collection of some of the sport's biggest names will still be competing, including Masters champion Shaun Murphy, Scottish hero John Higgins - who takes on fellow Scot Graeme Dott in the first round - and four time world champion Mark Selby.

It will be Gary Wilson who is the man to beat however, and he's determined to get his campaign back on track - admitting he'd binned off some whacky ideas to focus on hard work at the table. The tournament could also mark a return to action for Ronnie O'Sullivan, with the Rocket scheduled to take on Jamie Clarke in the first round however - after pulling out of tournaments recently at the 11th hour fans - will be waiting anxiously to see if they'll get to see their man back in action.
