The 2025 German Masters is an upcoming professional snooker tournament that will take place from 27 January to 2 February 2025 at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany. It's the twelfth ranking event of the 2024–25 season (following the 2024 Scottish Open and preceding the 2025 Welsh Open). The winner will receive £100,000 from a total prize fund of £550,400 and a place in the 2025 Champion of Champions invitational event.
Judd Trump is the defending champion, having defeated Si Jiahui 10–5 in the 2024 final.
Format
[edit]
The event will take place from 27 January to 2 February 2025 at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany.[1][2] Qualifying will take place from 16 to 19 December 2024 at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, England.[1][3]
The WST implemented a new format for the four Home Nations events and the German Masters this season. In qualifying round one, players seeded 65–96 face those seeded 97–128. In qualifying round two, the 32 round one winners play those seeded 33–64. The 32 round two winners then play the top 32 seeds in the first round of the main stage.[4]
All matches up to and including the quarter-finals are played as best of nine frames. The semi-finals are best of 11, and the final is a best-of-19-frame match played over two sessions.[3][2] The defending champion is Judd Trump, who won his record third German Masters title in 2024, winning the final 10–5 against China's Si Jiahui, who was contesting his first ranking final.[5][6][7][8]
