English Open 2025: Quarter-Final Drama Unfolds as Shock Exits Shake Title Race
The 2025 English Open has reached its thrilling quarter-final stage, with just eight players remaining in the hunt for the title. As the first event in the Home Nations Series — which concludes with December’s Scottish Open in Edinburgh — the English Open marks the fourth ranking tournament of the snooker season.
This year also marks the 10th edition of the English Open, first established in 2016. Defending champion Neil Robertson, who claimed the title last year after a tense 9–7 win over Wu Yize, will not be repeating his success. The Australian was knocked out early in the second round, losing 4–1 to Welsh talent Jackson Page.
With Robertson out of the picture, the competition is wide open, promising a day of high-stakes, high-quality snooker. All eyes will be on today’s quarter-final clashes as the remaining players battle it out for a place in the semi-finals.
The tournament offers significant prize money and ranking points, adding even more pressure and prestige to today’s matchups. Fans can tune in to live coverage across multiple broadcasters, with full schedules and viewing options available online.
The road to the English Open trophy is heating up, and by the end of today, only four will remain. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer to the sport, the quarter-finals promise compelling drama and top-tier snooker action.
