💨 Abstract

The Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters began on Friday, with 144 players reducing to 32 by Monday. Notable performances included Thepchaiya Un-Nooh's maximum break and wins by young players, Michal Szubarczyk and Lan Yuhao. Despite the tournament's large prize fund, it lacks a local fan base, with matches so far held in near-empty arenas. Top 16 seeded players enter on Tuesday, aiming to attract more spectators.
