The 2020 Dafabet Masters draw was made this afternoon and confirmed following Ding Junhui’s 10-6 victory over Stephen Maguire in the UK Championship final.
Judd Trump will be defending his Masters crown as he won the event 10-4 against Ronnie O’Sullivan. O’Sullivan, on the other hand, has decided not to participate due to focus of other commitments. This meant that the 17th ranked player (Ali Carter) qualifies instead.
It is worth noting that David Gilbert will be making his Masters debut. There has been at least one debutant every year since the 2016 Masters.
The full preview will be written next year!
