Good idea, and have the events be in order of increasing importance so pros can use the likes of Wuxi and World Open as warm ups or turn up a month late for the biggies so they have time with their families.

GJ, is there anyone left in the draw who you wouldn't support if they were drawn against Trump...?
The Milkman - Trump final is a real possibility.

A Trump - King final would pack the fans to the rafters!
Don't worry though. King will never get past the Milkman.

no offence to king but hes a journeyman
I dont mind young players like white beating seeds but journeymen winning can ruin good matches

Desperately trying to get the Welsh vote.
White is patently not good enough. He is due a thrashing in this tournament.

Did you actually see the match? King actually played well, that missed pink in the last frame aside.

King is actually quite a good player.
I always expect him to lose but he defies the odds!

He is a steady player but does not have that X Factor which makes you a champ.

Agreed.
If he reaches the final though, he will be cannon fodder to either Trump or Ronnie.

You don't know what the future holds. In time he may be considered a better player than Jimmy.

I said probably..
And I believe he can win it, has the right attributes to do it.
Just needs to avoid Hawkins now
