It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

"in the 73-frame final." - hyphen should be an en dash per MOS:DASH
"The world snooker championship was not contested again until 1964." - why was this the case?

The citation needed tag needs sorting out at the end of the second paragraph needs addressing

"The 1957 World Professional Match-play Championship was held at Saint Helier, Jersey," - maybe include the dates of the tournament?
"During the dead frames, which had an audience of around 80 people, Rea compiled the highest break of the match, a 92." - in which dead frame was the 92 break made?
The term break should be wikilinked only on the first mention to the appropriate article
"making an 85 break during the session." - in which frame was this break made during that session?
"With the six evening frames shared between the paid," - spelling error
"Williams then won the following frame, and added another which he won on a re-spotted black." - repetition of "won"
"The final was over 73 frames." - maybe added the dates the final took place on
"The highest break of the first day was 67, made by Rea." - in which frame was this 67 break made?

The Jersey Evening Post, which has a fuller report than other sources, mentions an 88 break in frame 4 so I've added that in. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:14, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"In the evening, Williams won the first frame with a 65 break that received that the Jersey Evening Post reported" - think the text in bold is unneeded
For the same sentence, the Jersey Evening Post should be italised since it is a printed publication
"with the highest break in the afternoon session just 34, by Kennerley." - some words missing from this sentence

The table can have a header included and the refs in the table moved to the header and in numerical order

All the references obtained from Google Newspapers should be mentioned as such in the via= field

Shall put the review on hold to allow the editor to address or query each of the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 13:05, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, MWright96. I've amended the article in response to all of the points above. Let me know if anything else is required. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:24, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
