Belgium's Luca Brecel capitalized on the World Snooker Championship 2023 title.

Snooker General

Belgium's Luca Brecel displayed a magnificent performance at the final to claim the World Snooker Championship 2023 title after cruising past four-time world champion Mark Selby at the Crucible.

Brecel becomes the first player from mainland Europe to win the title and is only the fourth non-British winner in the modern era after Cliff Thorburn (1980), Ken Doherty (1997), and Neil Robertson (2010).

The 'Belgian Bullet' resisted a sensational comeback effort by Selby to win his maiden title at aged 28.

He got the first chance in the last frame after a mistake by Selby and he duly posted his fifth century of the match, a brilliant 112, to seal an 18-15 victory.
