Top 5 Snooker Players in 2018
1. Mark Selby
Mark Anthony Selby (born 19 June 1983) is an English professional snooker player from Leicester. He is the reigning World Snooker Champion and is the current world number one. Selby joined the main professional snooker tour in 1999 at the age of 16. Known as a patient, tough competitor with strong safety play, Selby is also a prolific break-builder and has compiled 500 century breaks in his professional career. His nickname, "The Jester from Leicester", was given to him by snooker compere Richard Beare after Willie Thorne came up with it during commentary. In recent years, some pundits and fans have viewed this nickname with some irony.
2. Ronnie O'Sullivan
Ronald Antonio O'Sullivan (born 5 December 1975) is an English professional snooker player. Regarded as one of the greatest snooker players of all time, he is considered by many to be the most naturally talented player in the history of the sport and has been described by many in the sport as a genius. He is noted for his rapid playing style, mercurial temperament, and his ambivalent relationship with the sport, from which he has taken prolonged sabbaticals and repeatedly threatened to retire. Despite being naturally right-handed, he regularly cues with his left hand when required, allowing him to take shots that would otherwise require awkward cueing with a rest or spider.
