Mark Selby’s record in the Masters makes for a puzzling read. In his first seven appearances at one of snooker’s most prestigious events, which makes up one-third of the sport’s triple crown, he made the final on five occasions, winning it three times, including on his debut in 2008.
But after reaching the 2014 final, where he lost to fierce rival Ronnie O’Sullivan, Selby hasn’t won more than a single match in any of the 10 editions since.
