Ronnie O’Sullivan, aiming for an eighth World Championship title, faces Jackson Page in the first round. He also seeks to win all three Triple Crown events in a season. Defending champion Luca Brecel plays David Gilbert while Judd Trump meets Hossein Vafaei.

The tournament begins Saturday at the Crucible Theatre with live coverage on BBC. Other notable matches include Mark Selby vs. Joe O’Connor and John Higgins vs. Jamie Jones. O’Sullivan enjoying an extended spell at the top of the rankings is the favorite.

Analysis suggests Page won’t be intimidated and other matchups like Ding Junhui vs. Jack Lisowski add excitement.
