Century breaks

41 players achieved a total of 76 breaks of 100 or more points. The most successful player was the tournament winner Judd Trump , who managed 11 century breaks alone , 4 of them in the final. There he was on the way to a maximum break , but failed with the last, 15th red ball. In the previous frame he was already on the way to a maximum, but pretended to be on the 10th red ball.

On the other hand, Stuart Bingham achieved a maximum in the first round match against the Chinese Lu Ning . It was the 154th official 147 break in snooker history and the third of the season. It was the 6th maximum in Bingham's career, only three players had achieved more by then. This also gave him an extra £ 5,000 for the highest tournament break.
