The 2024 World Mixed Doubles is a non-ranking professional mixed doubles snooker tournament that is taking place from 30 to 31 March 2024 at the Manchester Central in Manchester, England. Organised by the World Snooker Tour, it is the third staging of the tournament since the inaugural 1991 event, when Steve Davis and Allison Fisher defeated Stephen Hendry and Stacey Hillyard 5–4 in the final in Hamburg.[1] The event was revived in 2022.
Four teams are participating in the tournament: Neil Robertson and Mink Nutcharut, Mark Selby and Rebecca Kenna, Luca Brecel and Reanne Evans, and Judd Trump and Baipat Siripaporn. The tournament is played as a round-robin with four-frame matches, followed by a final between the top two teams from the round-robin stage.[1][2] Robertson and Nutcharut were the defending champions, having defeated Selby and Kenna 4–2 in the 2022 final,[3] but they were eliminated at the round-robin stage.
Format
The World Mixed Doubles was introduced in 1991 for a single edition, and revived as part of the World Snooker Tour events in 2022.[1] Steve Davis and Allison Fisher defeated Stephen Hendry and Stacey Hillyard by 5–4 to win the inaugural event in 1991.[1] Since the event was reintroduced in 2022, it has been played with four teams, made up of the top four men from the snooker world rankings and the top four women from the World Women's Snooker rankings, who compete in a round-robin tournament with best-of-four frames matches. The two teams that win the most frames over the round-robin progress to the final, which is contested over the best-of-seven frames.[1][2] Instead of "scotch doubles" rules of alternating shots between teammates, the event is played using alternative visits.[4]
Neil Robertson and women's world number one Mink Nutcharut defended their title, although they were eliminated at the round-robin stage. The other teams were selected via a draw that took place on 23 February 2024. World number two Judd Trump was paired with Baipat Siripaporn, the 2023 World Women's Champion. Luca Brecel, the reigning World Champion, was paired with 12-time World Women's Champion, Reanne Evans. World number three Mark Allen and women's world number four Rebecca Kenna made up the fourth team,[5][6] but Allen withdrew for personal reasons and was replaced by Mark Selby.[7]
Broadcasters
The event is broadcast by ITV4 in the United Kingdom; Liaoning TV, Migu, and Huya in mainland China; Now TV in Hong Kong; Astro SuperSport in Malaysia and Brunei; True Sports in Thailand; Sportcast in Taiwan; Premier Sports Network in the Philippines; Fastsports in Pakistan; and Matchroom.live in all other territories.[8]
