Lisa Ashton will be back in action today at this afternoon's session at the UK Open, where she will face Aaron Beeney on the main stage.
Away from its normal home of Butlin's Minehead, this years will see the multi-board tournament played behind closed doors at the MK Arena in Milton Keynes.
2020 saw Ashton, alongside Fallon Sherrock reach the UK Open finals, the first women in over a decade, since Anastasia Dobromyslova competed in 2008 and 2009.
Play on boards 2 - 8 get underway from 11am (GMT), with all the action from the main board kicking off at midday (GMT) on ITV4 for UK viewers, and DANZ, RTL7 and PDCTV for rest of the World viewers.
