The 2022 Gibraltar Open (officially the 2022 BetVictor Gibraltar Open) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 24 to 26 March 2022 at the Europa Point Sports Complex. The 14th ranking event of the 2021–22 snooker season, it followed the Turkish Masters and preceded the Tour Championship. It was the seventh -- and currently final -- edition of the Gibraltar Open, first held in 2015, and the eighth and final event of the 2021–22 European Series.
The defending champion was Judd Trump, who defeated Jack Lisowski 4–0 in the 2021 final. However, Trump lost 0–4 to Ricky Walden in the last 16.[1] Robert Milkins defeated Kyren Wilson 4–2 in the final to win the first ranking title of his 27-year professional career. Aged 46, Milkins became the oldest first-time winner of a ranking event since Doug Mountjoy won the 1988 UK Championship.[2]
John Higgins secured the European Series bonus of £150,000, awarded to the player who won the most cumulative prize money over the eight tournaments. Stuart Bingham made the highest break of the tournament, a 147 in the final frame of his first-round match with Gerard Greene. It was the ninth maximum break of Bingham's career and the eighth of the 2021–22 season.[3]
