Last year’s World Snooker Championships were delayed by the pandemic until the end of July and several players withdrew from the tournament.

The champion complained angrily ahead of last year’s tournament: “They’re really treating this pool event like lab rats, so what can you do?
“Maybe they need to start doing crowd testing at some point. You have to start somewhere, start with the snooker players – less insurance to pay for Anthony Hamilton than for Lewis Hamilton. “
