Last year, Brazil’s Igor Figueiredo made waves as the first non-European player to capture the esteemed World Seniors trophy.

The 47-year-old triumphed over Ken Doherty 5-2 in a riveting final and is back at the Crucible this week as the reigning champion.

‘The Darling of Dublin’ sought a remarkable Grand Slam by adding the World Seniors title to his achievements, which already include the World Professional, World Amateur, and World Under-21 titles.

Unfortunately, he faced an unexpected exit in the opening round.
