who has won the most snooker world championships
World Snooker Championship The World Snooker Championship is the leading snooker tournament both in terms of prestige and prize money. The first championship was held in 1927 and was won by Joe Davis. Davis won the first 15 championships before retiring from the event, undefeated, after his 1946 success. In the 1950s snooker went into a period of decline and the championship was not held after 1952, although an unofficial championship was held until 1957. In 1964 the championship was revived on a challenge basis and in 1969 the championship became a knock-out event again. Since 1977 it has been played at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. The tournament is currently played over 17 days and ends on the first Monday in May. In the modern era (since 1969), the best record is that of Stephen Hendry, who won the title seven times. Steve Davis and Ray Reardon both won six times while Ronnie O'Sullivan has won five titles. The current champion is Mark Selby, who has won the tournament three times.
ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic hold the record for the most singles titles with 30 since the Masters series began in 1990.[1] Nadal and Djokovic held all 9 Masters 1000 crowns starting with the 2013 Monte Carlo title through the 2014 Miami title, which was the first time that 2 players possessed all nine of the titles. The Bryan Brothers have won a record 36 doubles titles, all as a team. No player has ever won all 9 singles titles in his career, with Novak Djokovic winning 8, and Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray each winning 7. However, in doubles, Daniel Nestor and the Bryan Brothers (Bob and Mike) have each won all 9 titles throughout their careers. Djokovic holds the record for 6 singles titles in a year (2015). In doubles, the Bryans have won 6 titles in a single year once (2014) and 5 titles in a single year twice (2007 and 2013).
