Mark Selby Dominates with Stunning 643-Point Performance, Storms to Victory in 2026 Championship League Invitational
Mark Selby is riding high after securing yet another significant victory, this time clinching the title of Group V in the 2026 Championship League Invitational. The 3-1 win over Zhao Xintong in the final adds to Selby’s ever-growing list of achievements, further cementing his reputation as one of snooker’s elite players. The fast-paced nature of modern snooker means that century breaks are piling up for Selby at an astonishing rate, and it’s almost impossible to keep track of them as they come one after another. However, it’s not just his ability to score freely that’s turning heads, but the sheer dominance he displayed earlier in the day.
In his two group-stage matches, Selby put on a masterclass of precision and control. Against Stuart Bingham and Wu Yize, the Englishman registered an impeccable 643 points in total, while both of his opponents finished their respective matches with a goose egg—scoring a total of zero points between them. The staggering stat highlights Selby’s level of composure and consistency, as he dispatched his opponents in clinical fashion, showcasing his complete mastery of the game.
The victory secures Selby’s place in the upcoming Winners’ Group, where he will have the chance to defend his title and take on the best of the best in snooker. Given his form and the way he’s been playing, the question on everyone’s mind now is whether Selby can extend his dominance and continue to add to his growing legacy as one of the sport’s finest players. With centuries coming so quickly that they’re almost too numerous to count, Selby is in peak form, and it’s clear that his pursuit of further titles is far from over.
