BASILDON professional Stuart Bingham will face snooker legend Steve Davis when he makes his Masters debut in January.
Last week Bingham won the qualifying event to earn a wild card entry to snooker's most prestigious invitation tournament, beating fellow Essex star Ali Carter 6-3 in the final.
It has now been confirmed he will face Davis, six times world champion and three times winner of the Masters, in the opening match of the event at Wembley Conference Centre on Sunday, January 15 at 11am.
"It's a dream come true to be playing at Wembley, especially against Steve who has done so much in the sport," said 29-year-old Bingham.
