Talking Snooker Episode 236 - Masters 2026 Preview with Neal Foulds

We're back for 2026. Happy New Year everyone. Smashing way to kick off the year too, with one of snooker's great voices, Neal Foulds, joining us to preview one of snooker's great events, the Masters. We take a look at every first round match to come at Alexandra Palace, including the clash between defending champion Shaun Murphy and Wu Yize on day one and some absolute crackers like Neil Robertson against Ronnie O'Sullivan. There are various other treats here too, including Neal's own memories of playing at the Masters in the 1980s and 1990s. And we round up some of the other action on the table in recent days, including the 17th maximum break of this season. All being well, we'll return next week to reflect on the first round of the Masters and look ahead to the quarter-finals.
