UK Championship snooker 2020 - Mark Selby on crazy shot - 'I probably won't be able to do it again!'

Mark Selby has admitted that he probably could not nail his incredible positional shot again as he chatted in the Eurosport studio. Selby is a triple world champion, and with positional shots like the one he pulled off from the blue against Barry Hawkins at the UK Championship in Milton Keynes, it's not hard to see why.

Mark Selby was in impressive form as he won 6-3 against Barry Hawkins to set up a meeting with Neil Robertson in the quarter-finals of the UK Championship.

The Leicester man hit the 'shot of the tournament' in the victory, and he admitted in the Eurosport studio after the match that he would struggle to repeat it.

The perfection of his positional shot from the blue to separate two out-of-place reds lodged on the cushion was simply staggering, and Selby conceded it would be tough to replicate.

"That was the only shot I had, really," Selby told Neal Foulds and Colin Murray in the Eurosport studio.

"It was probably a one-in-twenty shot, maybe a one-in-twenty-five."

Selby is still not the favourite to win the UK Championship title despite the form that he is currently in.
