Tournament preview

The top potters from the men’s and women’s game come together for the World Mixed Doubles at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

There are four teams, with a best-of-four-frame round-robin format, and the top two sides will progress to the final.

Ronnie O’Sullivan lines up alongside Reanne Evans and that pair head the market at 2-1. Neil Robertson and partner Nutcharut 'Mink' Wongharuthai are second in the betting at 9-4, then it's Judd Trump and Ng On-Yee at 5-2.

It’s a tight heat between those three teams, but there isn’t as much expected from 8-1 pokes Mark Selby and Rebecca Kenna, who has been struggling for form in recent months.

Unfortunately, it’s alternate-visit pairs, rather than alternate-shot doubles, and that is likely to give the top potters in the men’s game plenty of table time. It’s a short-format, and clearly there’s little between the top three sides, but perhaps the 5-2 about Trump and On-Yee is the value play.

The Ace is a three-time winner and two-time runner up of the round-robin Championship League and the Bristol cueman has bagged plenty of best-of-seven-frame trophies in his career.

On-Yee is a three-time world champion. The 31-year-old is the only player to challenge Evans’ dominance and alongside Trump she could collect the inaugural World Mixed Doubles crown.
