Last year, Brazil’s Igor Figueiredo made history by becoming the first player from outside of Europe to lift the prestigious World Seniors trophy.

The 47-year-old beat Ken Doherty 5-2 in the blockbuster final, and he returned to the Crucible as defending champion this week.

‘The Darling of Dublin’ was once again in the field, looking to secure a unique Grand Slam by adding the World Seniors crown to his World Professional, World Amateur and World Under-21 titles.

But he suffered a shock first round exit.
