Mark Selby's best UK Championship moments

  • Published

Mark Selby won his third UK Championship title at York Barbican - his first since 2016 and a first Triple Crown event triumph for the Englishman in nearly five years.

He beat defending champion Judd Trump 10-8 in a thrilling final, having led 7-2 at one stage.

World number one Trump won last year's final by the same scoreline, against Barry Hawkins.

Eight-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan went out in the first round to Zhou Yuelong, while world champion Zhao Xintong, John Higgins and Mark Williams were knocked out in the second round.

The championship was the first Triple Crown tournament of the season, with the other two - the Masters and the World Championship - both taking place in 2026.

Zhang makes 147 at UK Championship

There have been 23 maximum 147 breaks made across 48 previous editions of the UK Championship and qualifying in 2025.

Willie Thorne compiled the first one against Tommy Murphy in 1987.

O'Sullivan displayed incredible composure to make a 147 in the final frame of his semi-final match against Selby in 2007. He made another UK maximum in 2014.

Australian Robertson holds the distinction of being the only player to achieve a 147 in a UK Championship final, doing so in the sixth frame of his 2015 triumph against Liang Wenbo.

The 2012 championship featured three 147s with Andy Hicks, Lisowski and John Higgins all achieving the maximum.

Liam Pullen and Chang Bingyu both made 147s in qualifying this year to take the number of maximums in a season to a new record of 16, with more than six months of the campaign remaining.
