Who is Jackson Page?
Jackson Page is a 22-year-old Welsh snooker star nicknamed Action.
Page is a former World Snooker Champion and European Champion in younger age groups.
In 2016, he was crowned the Under-18 European Champion before later winning the World Under-18 Snooker Championship.
He turned professional in 2019, the same year he won the European Under-21 Championship.
Despite his youth he has already shown he can tussle with the big boys at snooker majors, with an impressive semi-final result at the World Open last month.
He is mentored by Mark Williams, and has faced O'Sullivan twice before.
On both occasions saw the Rocket come out victorious, with their latest match being a 4-1 win for O'Sullivan at last years English Open.
But he could get some tips from Williams, who shocked O'Sullivan in the Tour Championship final earlier this month.
