Snooker returns to China when the Shanghai Masters runs from September 11-17, with Ronnie O'Sullivan lining up as the defending champion.

The last of O'Sullivan's four wins in this event came in 2019, before snooker was halted in the Far East due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the 47-year-old will be joined by the likes of Neil Robertson and Mark Selby in the draw.

Recent European Masters runner-up Judd Trump will also be there, along with big home hopes Si Jiahui and Ding Junhui who face off in round one.
