What's the problem with the Gentleman? I don't think it's a bad draw for Graeme.

I love both players

we could have the first ever Higgins v Hendry at the Crucible and Also the Longest Match they have ever played in the Last 16

Ha! Higgins v Hendry have been pretty poor affairs over the last 5 or 6 years. Mostly this was to Stephen's disadvantage in the past, but now it's a leveler and given John has admitted to be low on confidence it could be a chance for Stephen....

Looking forward to Wenbo v Bingham in round 2

Bingham wont be there but i can see Hendry in the Quarters atleast if he plays Wenbo.

Higgins can be beaten and round 1 is the best place for that to happen, catch him cold so to speak. Wenny is not a debutant so that is a positive and I would say he gets better as matches go along (in that longer format matches suit him).

Wenny is danegrous in my view and will obviously get my support for this one.

Higgins will blame the table no doubt if he loses.

Hendry is flying out to China this week and gets back on Friday, plays Saturday. Nice preparation. Go Bingham

Doesent Matter if hes Flying in to Tudor Square at 1.30pm on Saturday he will still win

Back from school and seen the draw. Will give my thoughts on it but someone mentioned that Eurosport are showing some of this season's finals (hope Shanghai comes up ). Bolted downstairs immediately when I heard that.

That your impression of what Hendry is going to look like on Saturday afternoon?

no thats his impression of being bored that im always right

sonny = never learn and a bit stupid

Robbo got a nice draw

Trump got a virtual bye

Selby/Hawkins - nice match up, could be a classic, could be the match of the round.

I look forward to the moment Higgins will be dethroned but it surely won't be on the opening day against someone like Wenbo. Higgins basically never loses his opening match, the last time he did was in 2006 against a strong Mark Selby and 1995 as a qualifier.

Higgins DOES lose his opening match, he lost vs Ryan Day for one, and blamed the table conditions. Wenny is as dangerous as anyone - especially as he is not a debutant so wont be too disadvantaged, and he seems to thrive in longer frame matches. He has a chance. Higgo can be caught cold.

Hendry will take a first round beating.

I disagree. Since Trump won the UK, he's lost to everybody he beat on route.... Except Dale.

Oooooooh!

you just love Dale, lets be honest here

I know it's sickening. Doherty and Gould/Gilbert for a place in the quarter finals

He lost to Day in the last 16, he beat Stevens in the last 32.

okay, but he has had R1 losses before, I just did not give an example there

I'm sure Higgo does not view it as a dream draw
