I'm talking as a neutral here, for a World Championship opener this is A+++, one of the best in the tournament's history. I wouldn't be surprised if Bazza 'ad a crafty little say in these two being drawn together

You say Judd Trump vs everybody is the tie of the first round. When the German Masters was on, you and Wild were arguing for a month beforehand, saying this was the best tie. Saying it was time Hendry passed the torch. Saying we'd see Stephen Hendry being schooled by the guy who was looking to improve on the quarter final appearance he got four years ago. Saying Hendry would retire after this match, as he'd be so embarrassed.

Let's face it, saying you are neutral about anything Judd Trump is almost as big a whopper as saying I only like Michaela Tabb for her refereeing skills.

I didn't say Trump vs Gould was tie of the round Well it actually was but I forgot the match was on Doesn't it tell you that JT is on the way up that he's making venue after venue after venue (been to more than Ronnie this year ), whereas last year we never saw him apart from the PL ?!

China is winnable

I think this is an ideal draw for Neil, playing somebody who he should beat but he knows that if he doesnt play his game then he's at risk of going out early doors - Moving onto the contest I reckon Neil will win, probably 10-6 or 10-7. Judd's got form for making a nuisance - led Murphy on his other appearance here.

The interesting thing here is that he's a slow starter, and over 25 frames it was enough. Going 6-0 down over 19 will be a tall order. - But against someone with a Crucible duck, it could be something to fight against. In the unlikely event that Judd ends up 6-3, 7-2 or 8-1 up, It'll be interesting to see how he responds more than Neil as we all know that Neil can come back. Food for thought on that is that in only 1982 when Knowles ended the first session 8-1 up did he immediately close out the match pre the interval. - 1986 Mike Hallett had Dennis Taylor climb back from 8-1 to 8-6, - Jason Ferguson let slip a 6-3 lead over Stephen Hendry so It'll be interesting to see how Judd copes with holding a lead, and a big one

Like I said, Neil should win, but if he doesnt play - and remember he's first up, then it could turn pretty grim.
