The 2023 Wuhan Open was the first world ranking event staged in China since 2019, and the first ever in the city of Wuhan, and it proved a great success.
Judd Trump won the title, beating Ali Carter 10-7 in the final.
WST Chairman Steve Dawson said: “It was fantastic to host a tournament for the first time in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province and a vibrant city of 11 million people. There is a vast appetite for snooker among fans in China and they have enjoyed the return of our star players. We look forward to working with our partners on building a bright future for snooker in the region.”
