World Championships 2011: ROUND 1 DRAW !!!

Burnett was on fire in the qualifiers, hitting five century breaks in two matches. But the Crucible is completly different but I doubt Junhui will stuff Burnett like he did to Pettman last year.

Will you be delight when Robertson goes out in the first round?

Er ... what do you think

I meant to say Trump. Freudian slip. If Judd causes a shock upset, I'll be able to come on here and lord up my knowledge.

No way does Trump beat Roberston though. Judd's participation in this tournament is one day only.

Thanks mate, the hatahs will hope you're right !

im pleased Trump got Robbo .....

we want a credible performance from him on the biggest stage

Judd or Robbo ?

Trump will crumble in my view, he will miss easy balls and will end up going 7-2 down after the first session.

Im going to watch that match though Row D, so come on Robbo

It's not about hate, it's a prediction. If the shoddy way he played in the PTCs is any indication, he'll be lucky to do anything against Robbo World Champion. But, you never know. He might have a good run in China, get some confidence.

I don't mind Judd, but I think he will crumble too much hype on him yet again, and to put him as the likely non seeded player to win the tournament with most bookies is a joke. I would have Stevens and Day above him anyday.

Why have you tried to make that quote look like I don't think Trump has a chance

I think robbo will prefer this match up than say fergal because this should be a better paced match for him

Robbo huge favourite, all the pressure is on him and the Crucible Curse looms large. Hope he can handle the pressure and make it a competitive match because a tight, tough win will do JT more good in the long-run

The one time I'm really psyched up for a Ronnie game (when he isn't playing John Higgins), and both sessions are on during the afternoon when I'm at work.

Let's hope Ronnie doesn't pull out on Dale again this season.

Has trump much of a safety game i havnt watched much of him as in can he change his style in different cirumstances

It's much better than most give him credit for.

bookies are clueless about snooker they really are.

making odds on the shootout thats just one example of utter clueless.

anyway since losing to hendo in 05 this is robbos record in round 1 matches

2006 beat hunter
2007 beat day
2008 beat bond
2009 beat steve davis
2010 beat fergal

bring on trump

I don't know where he got that info from, Stevens is shorter.

Robertson will have too much ammo for Judd Trump in my opinion.

As for the rest of the draw the pick of the matches have to be:-

John Higgins V Stephen Lee
Mark Allen V Matthew Stevens

The real snooze fest:-

Ricky Walden V Rory McLeod
Ali Carter V Dave Harold

i think rory has a real chance to make round 2
