Sports betting enthusiasts consider Ronnie O'Sullivan, aged 48, to be the favorite to win the tournament, according to bookmakers.

Judd Trump, the current title holder, having won the World Open in 2019, is close behind with odds of 5.
The first round of the tournament will see Judd Trump face Rory Thor (Qualification), while Ronnie O'Sullivan will take on Michael White. Another highly anticipated match-up is Neil Robertson versus Tian Pengfei.
The semi-finals could see interesting clashes, with Ronnie O'Sullivan potentially facing off against Shaun Murphy, 41, or Neil Robertson, 42, and Ali Carter, 44, with whom O'Sullivan had a verbal exchange after the final of this year's Masters.
Judd Trump could face German player Lukas Kleckers, 27, in the last 16, Kyren Wilson, 32, in a potential quarter-final, and Mark Allen, 38, or Mark Selby, 40, in the semi-finals.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has emphasized that he sees Trump as the favorite for this year's World Championship. However, with the unpredictable nature of snooker, the World Open could change the battle for the World Championship if there are big surprises.
