Mark Allen Retains Title
Northern Irish Snooker Player Mark Allen has won the the Haikou World Open in China for the second successive season.
Allen, 27, defeated Matthew Stevens 10-4 to win.
"To win the same tournament two years in a row is a great achievement and I'm happy to retain my title," said Allen.
"The snooker wasn't as good as I had hoped. I didn't get into a rhythm and I didn't score very heavily. The scoreline was flattering and it wasn't as one-sided as that.
"But the result is all that matters. My form has been good for the last few months so I'm relieved to finally get a win. Hopefully I can push on now and win more."
