The 2022 World Mixed Doubles (officially the 2022 BetVictor World Mixed Doubles) was a non-ranking professional snooker team tournament that took place from 24 to 25 September 2022 at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. Organised by the World Snooker Tour and sponsored by bookmaker BetVictor, the event was televised by ITV.[1] It was the first staging of the tournament since 1991, when Steve Davis and Allison Fisher defeated Stephen Hendry and Stacey Hillyard 5–4 in the final in Hamburg.[2] It featured a total prize fund of £140,000, of which the winners received £60,000 (£30,000 per player).
The event featured the top four men from the snooker world rankings and the top four women from the World Women's Snooker rankings.[2] The teams were selected via a draw that took place on 6 August 2022. Ronnie O'Sullivan was paired with Reanne Evans, Judd Trump with Ng On-yee, Mark Selby with Rebecca Kenna, and Neil Robertson with Mink Nutcharut.[3] The tournament was played as a round-robin with four-frame matches, followed by a final between the top-two placed teams.[2][4] The team members made alternate visits to the table rather than playing alternate shots.[1]
Despite losing their first two round-robin matches, Robertson and Mink defeated Trump and Ng 4–0 in their last round-robin match to reach the final, where they defeated Selby and Kenna 4–2 to win the tournament.[5][6] Selby made the event's highest break of 134.
