Latest News About 2021 World Seniors Championship

Here’s the latest I could verify about the 2021 World Seniors Championship.

• The 2021 World Seniors Championship was held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, with David Lilley defeating Jimmy White 5–3 in the final. This result confirmed Lilley as champion for the 2020–21 season cycle.[3]
• Jimmy White was the defending champion from 2020 and reached the 2021 final for the third consecutive year but finished as runner-up. The final occurred on 9 May 2021 and Lilley won the best-of-9 frames, securing his first seniors title.[1]
• The event featured a main stage with a field of invited players, including former world champions, though travel disruptions due to COVID-19 altered the lineup and replacements were announced prior to the event.[1]

If you’d like, I can pull more detailed match-by-match results for the 2021 tournament (rounds, frame scores, and nationalities) or add context about how Lilley qualified for the Champion of Champions as a result of this win.
