   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "but the first in 17 years since the 2004 British Open." - and
• "this breaks with the tradition of most ranking tournaments" - this broke with the tradition
• The term seeded should be wikilinked to the relevant articles
• "Higgins made his 12th maximum break in professional competition in the first frame of his first-round win over Alexander Ursenbacher, while Ali Carter made his third maximum break in professional competition in the second frame of his fourth-round match against Elliot Slessor." - repetition of the term highlighted in bold

Images

• "Reanne Evans met former partner Mark Allen in the first round, but lost 2-3" - en dash please per MOS:DASH
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:04, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Format

• "The 2021 tournament is being held from 16 to 22 August 2021" - past tense please
• "John Higgins is the defending champion," - same issue as above
• "The event is broadcast by; ITV Sport" - character highlighted in bold is misplaced
• ITV Sport can be wikilinked

Prize fund

• "The tournament had a total prize fund of £470,000, with the winner receiving £100,000. This showed a £270,000 total prize money increase from the last tournament in 2004" - needs a reliable source from the ones already in the article to verify this information
  • removed Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:17, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Tournament summary

• Ricky Walden and the term pot are wikilinked twice in this section and Stephen Maguire has a second wikilink that is unneeded in this section
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "but missed match ball allowing Allen to win the match.[23][16]" - repetition of "match"
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• References in the above sentence should ideally be in numerical order
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "Iranian player Hossein Vafaei defeated Allen 3–2, despite having never defeated him on the prior four meetings." - repetition of "defeated"
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "who had averaged over 30 seconds per shot." - more than
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "Gilbert played Wilson, and led both 2–0 and 3–2, but lost the match after missing a pot using a long rest. Slessor met Zhou Yuelong and won 4–3 to reach his second ranking event semi-final." - The source at the end of this portion of text makes no mention of these events. Another reliable source(s) is required with mentions all this information
  • Added the snooker scene ref. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "before Slessor made a 125 break to force a deciding frame.[42][41]" - refs in numerical order please
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "Aged 46, this was the third oldest person to win a ranking event," - can be either he or Williams
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "only behind Ray Reardon (50) and Doug Mountjoy (46)." - in what years?
  • Added Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• "Wilson, however was "bitterly disappointed", and that he had been "bitterly disappointed" not to win." - same quotes are being used for different purposes
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Tournament draw

• The first column in each of the sections should have the flagathlete templates used as you have done on several other articles

Century breaks

• The term century breaks does not need to be linked here as an extra link
• "Both Higgins and Carter made maximum breaks of 147 during the event. Higgins made one in the first frame of his first-round win over Ursenbacher, whilst Carter made his during the second frame of his fourth-round loss to Slessor.[13]" - The Carter maximum also needs to be verified by a reliable source in this section
