# Grand Prix 1993

Der Škoda Grand Prix 1993 war ein Snooker-Turnier der Saison 1993/94, das vom 18. bis 31. Oktober 1993 im Hexagon Theatre von Reading stattfand. Das Turnier wurde im zehnten Jahr in Folge in der westlich von London gelegenen Stadt ausgetragen. Geändert hatte sich aber der Sponsor: Nach neun Jahren mit dem Tabakunternehmen Rothmans kam der Automobilhersteller Škoda zum Zug.
Bereits im Achtelfinale kam es zur Wiederauflage der vorjährigen Finalbegegnung. Ken Doherty revanchierte sich bei Jimmy White für die Niederlage 1992. Der Ire kam danach erneut ins Endspiel, doch auch diesmal konnte er nicht gewinnen. Peter Ebdon siegte gegen Doherty mit 9:6 und gewann seinen ersten Ranglistentitel.

## Finalrunde

64 Spieler traten zum Hauptturnier in Reading an. Die Top 32 der Weltrangliste waren gesetzt. Ihnen wurden die 32 Spieler zugelost, die sich zuvor in der Qualifikation durchgesetzt hatten. Bis zum Halbfinale blieb der Spielmodus unverändert, das Finale wurde verkürzt und war in diesem Jahr nicht Best of 19, sondern wie schon das Halbfinale Best of 17.
