Snooker legend Ray Reardon dies at 91; six-time world champion remembered fondly.

Mark Allen is poised for a strong start at the Shanghai Masters, his first tournament as the world No.1. Determined to win his first title in Shanghai, Allen is prepared to challenge Ronnie O’Sullivan’s dominance and capture the prestigious £210,000 top prize.

Scottish snooker star John Higgins is eager to begin the new season with a strong performance. The four-time world champion narrowly maintained his top-16 ranking last season, securing his 30th consecutive campaign in the top 16 with a thrilling final frame victory over Mark Allen at the World Championship.
