He probably is the strongest in the top half and I think hes been warming up nicely to the tournament. He should atleast make the semis. COME ON SELBY.

I want a selby williams/ selby ronnie/ selby dale/ selby higgins/ selby murphy final <ok> Or if not, replace selby with ebdon :redneck: I would love to see ebdon and dale have a good run this year actually.

A one-time ranking winner is the strongest in the half <laugh>

Going by that logic you are saying Hendry is the strongest in the top half?

That's not the same logic <laugh> Selby is third favourite, but he's got far less pedigree than Robbo and Ding who are born WINNERS <ok>

Even though Robbo is the only one I like of the four, Robbo-Trump and Allen-Stevens are crackers. Shame about the dull matches of Dott, Murphy, Carter, Ebdon and Allen, but the rest have some degree of interest. Will be following Selby-Robbo Mk 2 closely :chin:

anyone else agrees with me?

nothing is safe .....if so why bother playing all those frames and sessions.

last year it wasn't safe that Dott would reach the final but he did

dont write off hendry doing some serious damage.

consistently he might struggle but on his day he is more than a match to most.

I think all this talk about Mark Selby being a one-time ranking event winner is a bit harsh, given that he's won the Masters twice. It might not be a ranker, but it's on a par in terms of prestige with the rankers. He should be acknowledged more as a one time ranking event winner, and twice Masters champion.

The same could be said of Joe Perry though. That's not a guaranteed win for Hendry.


Could be a tough one but perry really hasnt had much to boast about recentley and he may put to much pressure on himself to pull out a good result. But it was only 3 years ago he made the semis!

Oh yeah, Hendry is favourite. Neither man are super consistent, but Hendry is slightly more. I'm just saying Hendry can't turn up, thinking he can snake hiss about and go through to round 2.

Though, I think Hendry won't do that.

They keys have been past around since 1999, without ever making their way back to Hendry. Hendry might as well be having a swinger's party in his house.

as in i know he will go for everyhting and leave me sitters alot of the time

Robertson sees things exactly as i saw it when Hendry played Trump in Germany.
