Bio

Although he was runner-up in a minor ranking event in Portugal just before Christmas 2014, it took until 2019 for Selt to reach his first full ranking final, where he beat Lyu Haotian to win the Indian Open in Kochi. He was also runner-up to Judd Trump at the 2022 Turkish Masters, and has made four appearances at the Crucible, coming closest to a win in 2015 when he levelled from 9-4 down against Barry Hawkins before losing the decider. Selt is one of a handful of players to make five centuries in a best-of-11 match.
