Timeline

2020

In 2020, he started with a few unremarkable performances. He lost in the first round of the Masters against Ali Carter in January, and failed to qualify at the German Masters later the same month. At the European Masters, he lost in the second round to Barry Hawkins; after losing the first four frames, he staged a comeback to level at 4–4 but then lost the deciding frame. He qualified for the World Grand Prix, where he lost 3–4 to Xiao Guodong in the first round despite making two centuries.

2019

Selby qualified for all three 2019 Coral Cup tournaments (World Grand Prix, Players Championship and Tour Championship), but did not progress past the quarter-finals in any of them. On 24 March, following Ronnie O'Sullivan's victory in the Tour Championship final, Selby lost his number one ranking to O'Sullivan, having held the position since February 2015. He had the chance to regain the top spot at the 2019 China Open, but lost 3–6 to Craig Steadman in the qualifying round, which was held over from the original qualification stage. At the 2019 World Snooker Championship, the Leicester player beat Zhao Xintong 10–7 in the first round before being defeated 10–13 by Gary Wilson in the second round. As a result, Selby ended the season ranked sixth, being overtaken by John Higgins, Neil Robertson and that year's world champion Judd Trump. This was the first time in eight years that Selby did not end the season as world number one.

2018

Selby's first appearance of the 2018–19 season was at the World Open, where he reached the last 32, losing 4–5 to Noppon Saengkham. His appearance in the 2018 China Championship ended in victory, as he defeated John Higgins 10–9 in a very close-fought final. However, the later stages of the season were not as successful for Selby. His best run after the China Championship was the semi-final of the Northern Ireland Open, which he lost 5–6 to Ronnie O'Sullivan on the final black. He suffered disappointments in other tournaments, including a surprising 3–6 loss to amateur James Cahill in the first round of the 2018 UK Championship. At the 2019 Masters, Selby lost 2–6 to eventual winner Judd Trump in the quarter-finals.

2015

In March, he withdrew from the PTC Finals and China Open for personal reasons, missing out on the opportunity to defend his 2015 China Open title. Returning to the tour at the World Championship in April, he beat Robert Milkins 10–6, Sam Baird 13–11, and Kyren Wilson 13–8, to face Marco Fu in the semi-finals. Selby drew level at 12–12 after winning a 76-minute frame, the longest in Crucible history, and won the match 17–15 with a successful snooker on the brown in the final frame. He took an early 6–0 lead over Ding Junhui in the final, eventually winning the match 18–14 to claim his second world title. With his World Championship victory, Selby finished at number one in the world rankings for the fifth consecutive year.

In addition to snooker, Selby is also an adept pool player – specifically blackball and Chinese eight-ball. In July 2006, he won the WEPF World Eight-ball Championship, beating Darren Appleton 11–7 in the final at Blackpool. On 2 February 2015, Selby played in the 2015 Chinese Pool World Championship [de] , but lost to Darren Appleton 19–21 in the final.

2014

At the 2014 World Championship, Selby defeated Michael White 10–9, Ali Carter 13–9, and Alan McManus 13–5 to reach his first semi-final at the Crucible since 2010. He faced world number one Neil Robertson in a repeat of the UK Championship final five months earlier, this time achieving a 17–15 victory in a match described by commentators as one of the best matches ever played in the tournament's history, to reach his second World Championship final and first for seven years. His opponent in the final was two-time defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, who had won all five of his previous world finals. O'Sullivan led 3–0, 8–3, and 10–5, but Selby then won six frames in a row to lead for the first time, eventually sealing an 18–14 victory for his first world title. Winning the World Championship, he became the ninth player to win snooker's Triple Crown of World, UK and Masters titles (and the second of the season after Robertson), and the twelfth player to win the World and UK Championship "double" in their career. With his World Championship victory, Selby also retook the world number one spot.

Selby has been a fan of Leicester City Football Club since childhood. His 2014 World Championship victory happened on the day that Leicester City celebrated their promotion to the Premier League with an open-top bus parade. Two years later, he won his second world title just 13 minutes after the team sealed their first Premier League title. Selby is also a fan of darts and has played in exhibition matches at Ibstock in Leicestershire, beating Eric Bristow in 2007 and taking on Raymond van Barneveld in 2009.

2013

After a moderate start to the season, Selby had a strong run in the second-highest ranking tournament, the UK Championship, reaching the semi-finals of the event. He led eventual winner Ronnie O'Sullivan 7–5, fell 7–8 behind, before levelling the match at 8–8. In the deciding frame, however, O'Sullivan made a 147 break to win 9–8.

Selby progressed to the quarter-finals of the German Masters and then reached the final of the Welsh Open, where he lost 6–9 to Ding. Another semi-final followed in the World Open and despite seeing a 5–2 lead slip to a 5–6 defeat against Mark Allen, he looked to be in form at just the right time in the season.

However, Selby was forced to withdraw from the second round of the China Open with a neck injury. His withdrawal was also a precautionary measure to be ready for the upcoming World Championship, for which Selby declared himself fit the week before the event. He played Barry Hawkins in the first round and was beaten 3–10. After the match Selby admitted he had only managed nine hours of practice in the lead up and that there were certain shots he was physically unable to play. Despite the disappointing end to the season Selby was guaranteed to end it ranked number one following Judd Trump's early exit from the tournament.

Selby lost his world number one spot to Judd Trump after the latter's victory in the inaugural International Championship in China. However, just five weeks later, Selby won his third ranking title and largest of his career, the UK Championship, to regain the top spot. He defeated Michael White 6–3, Ryan Day 6–4 from 0–3 down, and Neil Robertson 6–4 from 0–4 down to reach the semi-finals, where he beat Mark Davis 9–4 to progress to the final. Already assured of overtaking Trump regardless of the result, Selby beat his good friend Shaun Murphy 10–6 to win the tournament.

Selby also participated at the Players Tour Championship. He successfully defended his Paul Hunter Classic title with a 4–1 win over Joe Swail in the final. He then lost in the final of the Antwerp Open 1–4 against Mark Allen, and won the Munich Open by defeating Graeme Dott 3–4 in the final. He then finished number one on the Order of Merit, and qualified for the Finals, where he lost 3–4 against Jack Lisowski.

Selby then went on to win his third Masters title, beating Stuart Bingham 6–5 from 1–5 behind in the first round, Mark Williams 6–1 in the quarter-finals, and Graeme Dott 6–5 from 1–4 and 4–5 down in the semi-finals. He then defeated defending champion Neil Robertson 10–6 in the final. He reached the quarter-finals of the German Masters, but lost 1–5 against Barry Hawkins. He lost in the last 32 of the Welsh Open 0–4 against Joe Perry, and lost his number one position to Trump. Selby then reached the quarter-finals of the World Open, but lost 3–5 against Neil Robertson.

At the China Open, Selby became only the fourth player in history to miss the final black on a 147 attempt, and only the second – after Ken Doherty – to do so in a televised match, in a 5–1 defeat of Mark King. He then reached the final by defeating Ricky Walden 5–2, Mark Williams 5–1 and Murphy 6–2, but lost 6–10 against Neil Robertson. After the event he regained the number one spot from Trump. He finished off the season at the 2013 World Snooker Championship, where he beat Matthew Selt 10–4 in the first round, before losing 10–13 to eventual runner-up Barry Hawkins in the second round.

Selby started the season with a 3–5 defeat to Andrew Pagett in the qualifying rounds of the 2013 Wuxi Classic. The tournament was the first to use a new format requiring the top 16 players to compete in the qualifying rounds. In minor-ranking tournaments, he was runner-up in the Yixing Open, where he lost 1–4 to Joe Perry, and the Rotterdam Open, where he lost 3–4 to Mark Williams. In November, he won the Antwerp Open, defeating Ronnie O'Sullivan 4–3 in the final.

At the 2013 UK Championship in December, in the seventh frame of his semi-final against Ricky Walden, Selby compiled snooker's 100th officially recognised maximum break in professional competition. He received £55,000 for the achievement, in addition to the tournament's highest break prize of £4,000. The next day, he lost 7–10 to Neil Robertson in the final, having been ahead 5–1 and 6–3.

He began the defence of his title at the Masters by defeating Mark Davis in the first round and John Higgins in the quarter-finals, winning both matches 6–5 and extending his unbeaten record in deciding frames at the Masters to 11. He then beat Shaun Murphy 6–1 in the semi-finals to reach the final against Ronnie O'Sullivan. After falling behind 1–7 in the first session, Selby lost the final 4–10, receiving the runner-up prize of £90,000. At the German Masters two weeks later, he was eliminated in the second round by Kurt Maflin 5–3. He defeated Alan McManus 5–1 in the quarter-finals of the World Open, and Marco Fu 6–4 in the semi-finals, but lost 6–10 in the final to Shaun Murphy.

At the Wuxi Classic, the first ranking event of the season, Selby lost 3–5 to Liang Wenbo in the last 32. He won the minor-ranking Riga Open in August, defeating Mark Allen 4–3 in the final, but lost 5–6 to Allen the following month in the semi-finals of the ranking Shanghai Masters. He made an unexpected early exit from the ranking International Championship in the last 128, when 19-year-old tour rookie Oliver Lines recovered from 0–4 behind to defeat him 6–4. He reached the quarter-finals of the invitational Champion of Champions tournament in November, but lost 1–6 against Judd Trump. He suffered another disappointment at the UK Championship, losing 4–6 to David Morris in the last 64.

In his first-round encounter with Shaun Murphy at the Masters in January, Selby fell 1–5 behind before recovering to tie the match at 5–5, but lost the deciding frame and the match 5–6. This was the first time he had ever lost a deciding frame at the Masters, having previously won 11. The following month, he defeated Judd Trump 5–4 in the quarter-finals of the German Masters. During the match, Trump made his second career 147 and second against Selby; it was the fifth time that Selby had witnessed an opponent make a maximum break against him, the most of any player in the history of the game. He then beat Stephen Maguire 6–2 in the semi-finals to reach his first ranking final of the season. He came from 2–5 down against Sean Murphy to win the final 9–7 and claim the title.

At the China Open in April, Selby became the first player to win a second ranking title this season. He advanced to the final without facing any player inside the world's top 16, and then outplayed world number 56 Gary Wilson to win 10–2. He therefore had two statistics against him in defence of his world title, as no first-time world champion has successfully defended the title the following year and no winner of the China Open has won the World Championship in the same season. He led Kurt Maflin 8–4 in the first round, before his opponent reeled off five frames in a row, but Selby then took the 18th frame and the decider to win the match 10–9. His reign as World Champion ended in the second round, however, with a 9–13 defeat to Anthony McGill. Despite this setback, he finished the season as world number one for the fourth year in a row.

Selby defeated Neil Robertson 6–4 in the quarter-finals of the International Championship to reach his first semi-final of the season, but then lost 4–9 to John Higgins. He did not drop a frame in reaching the third round of the UK Championship where he defeated Jamie Jones 6–5, later acknowledging that his opponent had deserved to win the match. He then eliminated Dechawat Poomjaeng and Matthew Selt both 6–1, before being whitewashed 6–0 by Robertson in the semi-finals. In early 2016, Selby lost to Ronnie O'Sullivan in the quarter-finals of both the Masters and Welsh Open, but won the Gdynia Open with a 4–1 victory over Martin Gould.

Selby won his first ranking title of the season at the Paul Hunter Classic, defeating Tom Ford 4–2 in the final. His semi-final with Stuart Bingham at the Shanghai Masters was a meeting between the top two ranked players in the world, Selby winning 6–5, having been 3–5 behind. After taking an early 3–1 advantage over Ding Junhui in the final, Selby eventually lost 10–6. He was defeated 6–2 by Judd Trump in the semi-finals of the European Masters. He then won 9–3 in another semi-final encounter with Bingham, to reach the final of the International Championship in Daqing, China, winning the event for the first time by overpowering Ding Junhui 10–1. Selby dominated their encounter, winning the last seven frames in a row, in the most one-sided ranking event final since the 2012 Haikou World Open when Mark Allen had defeated Stephen Lee by the same scoreline. Selby made seven breaks over 50 while Ding managed a top run of just 47.

He beat John Higgins 6–5 at the UK Championship in a high-quality quarter-final match lasting five hours, in which Selby won on the colours in the deciding frame. This was followed by a more routine 6–2 semi-final victory over Shaun Murphy. He developed a 7–2 advantage over Ronnie O'Sullivan in the final, before it was reduced to 7–4, followed by four breaks of 130 or more over the next five frames, two by each player, bringing the score to 9–7 in Selby's favour. He then finished the match with a 107 break to claim his second UK title, completing the second Triple Crown of his career. He failed to progress to the semi-final stage of any of the next seven tournaments, before making it through to the final of the China Open in April, where he took the final three frames against Mark Williams to win 10–8 and claim his fourth ranking event title of the season.

No one came close to beating Selby as he progressed through to the semi-finals of the World Championship. In his quarter-final match, he heavily defeated Marco Fu 13–3 with a session to spare. He faced Ding Junhui in the semi-finals, going 16–13 ahead before Ding closed the gap to 16–15; Selby then won the 32nd frame to reach his third world final in four years. He fell behind 4–10 against John Higgins in the final, before recovering to win 12 out of the next 14 frames, and finally closed out the match 18–15 to win his third World Championship, becoming the fourth player—after Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan—to retain the world title at the Crucible. Selby made a record £932,000 during the season. The World Championship was his fifth ranking title of the season after he had never previously won more than two titles in one season. This tied him with Hendry and Ding as the only players to have won five ranking events in a single season.

Selby started the season with a 3–5 defeat to eventual champion Neil Robertson in the first round of the Hong Kong Masters. His first ranking tournament of the season was the China Championship where he was defeated 4–5 by Zhou Yuelong in the second round. He failed to progress past the fourth round of the Paul Hunter Classic in defence of his title, losing 1–4 to eventual champion Michael White. He was defeated 2–5 by Lee Walker in the first round of the World Open, followed by a 2–4 defeat to Stuart Bingham in the quarter-finals of the European Masters, and a third round exit at the English Open where he lost 1–4 to Xiao Guodong.

Selby successfully defended his International Championship title in November, to claim his first ranking title of the season. After surviving a fightback from Mark Allen, who trailed 3–8 and 7–9 in the final, Selby prevailed 10–7. As reigning World Snooker Champion, he qualified automatically for the 2017 Champion of Champions, but was defeated 4–6 in the quarter-finals by Luca Brecel. He suffered another quarter-final defeat at the Shanghai Masters, losing 3–5 against 2011 finalist Mark Williams. Defending his title at the UK Championship, he was eliminated 3–6 by Scott Donaldson in the last 64.

In January, he played Mark Willams in the first round of the Masters, in a repeat of the previous year's event, where Selby had won their first-round encounter 6–5. However, this time the finishing scoreline was reversed as Selby lost the deciding frame (only the second time he had done so at the Masters). He retained his China Open title in April, for his third in four years, defeating Barry Hawkins 11–3 in the final. Later that month, his two-year reign as World Champion ended in the first round of the 2018 World Snooker Championship, where he fell to Joe Perry 4–10, unable to recover from a 2–7 deficit in the first session. In winning the match, Perry became the first player to beat Selby at the World Championship since Anthony McGill had defeated him in the second round in 2015. Despite this disappointment, Selby finished the season as world number one for the seventh year in a row.

At the start of the season, Selby reached the semi-finals of the International Championship, losing 4–9 to Judd Trump, and in defending his title at the China Championship, he lost 3–6 to Shaun Murphy, again in the semi-finals. He achieved his first Home Nations Series victory in October 2019, defeating David Gilbert 9–1 in the final of the English Open to win the Steve Davis Trophy. The following week, he lost 2–5 to Stuart Bingham in the last 16 of the World Open. In the Champion of Champions, he fell short 2–6 to Mark Allen in the group final.

Selby's ambition of winning all four Home Nations titles and a £1,000,000 bonus ended in the quarter-finals of the Northern Ireland Open, where he was defeated 4–5 by John Higgins after recovering from 1–4 down. He took more than six minutes to play a shot at one point during the seventh frame of this match, leading to criticism from the Eurosport commentator Neal Foulds. He won the Scottish Open in December, beating Jack Lisowski 9–6 in the final to pick up the Stephen Hendry Trophy. Having also won the English Open earlier in the season, he became the first player to win more than one tournament in the Home Nations Series in a single season.

In February, Selby reached the quarter-final stage of the last Home Nations event, the Welsh Open, where he was defeated 1–5 by Ronnie O'Sullivan. He also qualified for the Players Championship, based on the one-year ranking list; in the first round, he whitewashed Mark Williams 6–0, but was then knocked out in the quarter-finals by Stephen Maguire in a deciding frame 5–6. In March, he also participated at the Gibraltar Open, but was eliminated in the third round by Lyu Haotian 1–4.

2012

Selby announced he was "90% fit" just before the start of the 2012–13 season as he continued his recovery from the disc bulge in his neck. His first event was the Wuxi Classic where, ironically, he played Hawkins in the last 32. Selby this time won 5–2 and then breezed past Jamie Cope 5–0 to set up a quarter-final match with in-form Stuart Bingham, which Selby lost 4–5. Selby then won seven matches in a row in reaching the quarter-finals of the Six-red World Championship, but there he lost 5–7 by Judd Trump. He then suffered a shock 3–5 first round defeat to Jamie Burnett in the Australian Goldfields Open.

2011

At the 2011 China Open, Selby beat Tian Pengfei, Robert Milkins, Ali Carter, and home favourite Ding Junhui, but was defeated 8–10 by Judd Trump in the final.

At the 2011 World Championship, Selby set the record for the most century breaks compiled in a world championship match when he made six in his second round tie with Stephen Hendry. It was also a record for a best-of-25 match and took Selby's century tally for the season to 54, setting a new record for the most centuries compiled in a season.

Selby started the 2011–12 season by winning the non-ranking Wuxi Classic with a 9–7 victory over Ali Carter. He continued his form at the Shanghai Masters, where he won his second major ranking event by defeating Mark Williams 10–9 in the final, having trailed 7–9. The win also meant Selby usurped Williams as the world number one, making him the ninth player to hold the top spot and the first to do so without having previously won the World Championship. He also won the minor-ranking PTC Event 4 (also known as the Paul Hunter Classic) with a 4–0 whitewash over Mark Davis, having edged out Ronnie O'Sullivan 4–3 in the semi-finals. Selby would later finish 5th on the Order of Merit and therefore qualified to the last 16 of the Finals. He beat Ding Junhui in the Finals in Galway before losing 0–4 to eventual winner Stephen Lee in the quarter-finals.

Selby's wife Vikki Layton, who often attends his major matches, is a former Irish international pool player born in Ipswich. They announced their engagement in August 2010, and were married in Mexico on 24 May 2011. Their daughter Sofia was born in 2014. They have a swimming pool at their home in Leicester, although Selby himself is a non-swimmer.

2010

On 17 January 2010, Selby won his second Masters title after reaching the final for the third time in as many years in a repeat of the previous year's final, where he lost to Ronnie O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan took a commanding lead at 9–6 leaving him just one frame from victory, but Selby played some of his best snooker of the season to overcome the three-frame deficit, taking the championship 10–9 and the £150,000 winner's cheque.

2009

The following year in the Welsh Open quarter-final, he was handed a writ by a member of the audience, supposedly his former manager George Barmby. Selby reached the final of the Masters again where he was runner-up to Ronnie O'Sullivan, and also reached the quarter-finals of the 2009 World Championship, losing 12–13 to Higgins, who again went on to win the title.

He opened the 2009–10 season with two first round defeats, before coming from 4–8 down to beat Jamie Cope 9–8 in the first round of the UK Championship, scoring six breaks of over 40 in those five frames.

2008

On 20 January 2008, Selby won his first major tournament – the Masters at Wembley. En route to the final, he had edged out Stephen Hendry, Stephen Maguire and Ken Doherty, all on a 6–5 scoreline (having been 3–5 behind against both Hendry and Maguire). In the final against Stephen Lee, after leading 5–3 at the break Selby took control and reeled off five consecutive frames (eight-in-a-row overall from 2–3 behind) to win convincingly 10–3. Selby's play in the final was of the highest standard, with four century breaks and two consecutive tons to cross the winning line. His final-frame effort, a total clearance of 141, equalled the tournament's highest break and was Selby's best in competitive play.

On 17 February 2008, Selby won a close-fought Welsh Open final, overcoming Ronnie O'Sullivan 9–8 from 5–8 down. However, he could not reproduce his Crucible success from the previous season; despite going into the World Championship as one of the bookmakers' favourites for the title, Selby was defeated 10–8 in the first round by Mark King.

2007

In the 2007 World Championship, Selby beat Stephen Lee 10–7 in the first round, having won eight successive frames from being 0–5 behind. He then defeated former World Champion Peter Ebdon 13–8, with five centuries (including three-in-a-row) to reach the quarter-finals. He beat Ali Carter 13–12, from 11–8 up and 11–12 down, in a quarter-final match that lasted well over nine hours. He reached the final by defeating Shaun Murphy 17–16 from 14–16 down, in another deciding frame which he won thanks to a 64 break. Against Higgins in the final, Selby trailed 4–12 after the Sunday sessions, but won all six frames played in the third session on Monday afternoon before the players ran out of time due to the length of the frames. Thus he entered the final session only 10–12 down and closed to within one frame at 13–14, but eventually succumbed 13–18.

Selby's wins over Lee, Ebdon, Carter and Murphy at the 2007 World Championships also won him the inaugural 888.com Silver Chip award for outstanding performance, awarded by the Snooker Writers' Association at the post-championship ball.

2006

Known as a patient, tough competitor with strong safety play, Selby is also a prolific break-builder and has compiled over 600 century breaks in his professional career. His nickname, "The Jester from Leicester", was given to him by snooker compere Richard Beare. Selby is also a pool player. He was the 2006 WEPF eight-ball pool world champion and runner-up at the Chinese Eight-ball World Championship in 2015.

His performances earned him £110,000 (not far off half of his pre-tournament all-time earnings). It was noted by eventual world champion John Higgins, amongst others, in his victory speech, that Selby was the most improved player on the tour. These performances in the 2006/07 season earned Selby a place in the top 16 for the very first time for the 2007–08 season, where he was ranked 11th.

2005

From late 2005, Selby was managed by former snooker professional and fellow Leicester resident Mukesh Parmar. He progressed to the main draw of the World Snooker Championship for the first time in 2005, losing 5–10 to John Higgins in the first round. Since making his Crucible debut, he has qualified for the main knockout stages of the tournament every year, including the 2006 World Championship, despite his final qualifying round opponent Robert Milkins making a 147. He then faced Higgins in the first round again, this time defeating the reigning Grand Prix and Masters champion 10–4, before being eliminated in the second round by Mark Williams.

1999

Selby joined the main professional snooker tour in 1999 at the age of 16, after competing on the non-ranking UK Tour in 1998. He was runner-up to John Higgins at the 2007 World Snooker Championship. He was the sixth player to win all of snooker's Triple Crown events at least twice, having won three Masters titles (2008, 2010, and 2013), two UK Championships (2012 and 2016), and three World Championships (2014, 2016, and 2017). His other ranking titles are the Welsh Open in 2008, the Shanghai Masters in 2011, the German Masters in 2015, the China Open in 2015, 2017, and 2018, the Paul Hunter Classic in 2016, the International Championship in 2016 and 2017, the China Championship in 2018, the English Open in 2019, and the Scottish Open also in 2019.

Below is a list of competition results for professional seasons starting from 1999.

1998

Selby showed potential as a teenager, but did not play snooker at a consistent level until his twenties. He began his career in 1998 on the UK Tour, which was at that time the WPBSA's secondary professional tour. He joined the professional tour a year later at the age of 16. In early 2002, he reached the semi-finals of the China Open, despite leaving his hotel room at 2 a.m. instead of 2 p.m. for one of his matches because of jetlag. In April 2003, aged 19, he reached his first ranking final at the Scottish Open, where he finished runner-up to David Gray who won 9–7. He progressed to the final round of qualifying at the World Snooker Championships in both 2002 and 2003, but failed to qualify for the knockout stages at the Crucible Theatre on both occasions.

1983

Mark Anthony Selby (born 19 June 1983) is an English professional snooker player. He has been World Snooker Champion three times and was number one in the world rankings for more than four years continuously. He has won 17 ranking titles, placing him joint seventh (with Judd Trump) on the all-time list of ranking tournament wins.
