Allen gets his campaign underway against Long Zehuang in Brentwood on Tuesday.
And he has already found his form after producing world class snooker at an exhibition event held at Alfreton Snooker club.
Allen, 38, hit back-to-back 147s in front of a small crowd of fans, and even made a joke about his own performance on social media after the feat.
He wrote: “Excuse my positional play in the colours in max two back to back maxis last night in Alfreton exhibition…”
Fans reacted in awe and made Allen know just what an amazing accomplishment it was to achieve consecutive maximums.
One said: “Talk about taking the p*** Brilliant snooker Mark ”
Another added: “Outstanding, brilliant!
A third wrote: “Mindblowing ”

And another commented: “Sensational stuff.”
Allen heads into the English Open on the back of a difficult campaign, with his last tournament win coming at the Players Championship in February.
He was thrashed 5-1 by Xiao Guodong at the Saudi Arabia Masters and prior to that lost at the Xi’an Grand Prix to Barry Hawkins.
