Mark Allen well aware of his impressive record against ‘all-time great’ Mark Selby Mark Allen is expecting a serious challenge against Mark Selby at the Masters on Thursday night, but is well aware of his impressive record against the four-time world champion.
I’ll need to be somewhere near my best to beat Mark Selby but I’ve beat him many times before, he’s beat me and I expect another close match.
Allen beat Selby again as recently as last month at the Riyadh Season Championship and is in a small group of players who can boast a winning record against him.
The Pistol and the Jester meet in a heavyweight quarter-final at Alexandra Palace, with Allen looking good in a first round win over Si Jiahui and Selby really impressing in a demolition of Ali Carter.
I beat him in Saudi recently and beat him in Saudi last year.
