Shanghai Masters & China Open
August 10, 2010
Shanghai Masters
The Shanghai Masters is now in its third year, having been introduced in the 2007/08 season, and following a recent spurt of snooker playing in China, it is now the second ranking event to be played in China.
This is the first full ranking event of the Snooker season, and is played in September.
China Open
The China Open is now in its sixth year, having been re-introduced in the 2004/05 season.
The growing popularity of Snooker in China has resulted in an extra wild-card round being included; before the first round, sixteen of the top Chinese players showcase their abilities at the Beijing University, Students Gymnasium in Beijing.
The China Open is the last ranking event before the World Championship, although the qualifying tournament is held in December.
