With so many big names out can Neil Robertson win his home tournament? Or will there now be too much pressure?


Checked out the head to heads recently and it's largely in favour of Ding, but Ebdon wins over the longer formats (China semi and 2006 UK quarter). Of course that could mean if Ebdon beats Ding he'll go on to win the entire event.

And Overdrive will be gloating about Ebdon winning the same amount of rankers in three months as Selby in his whole career, Selby sucks, etc. :zzz:

So either Ding wins and Robbo wins the tourney or Ebdon wins and wins the whole tourney. Also Robbo has no problems beating lots of qualifiers to win rankers :-D


So what do people think of my theory? Now that Ebdon has won, do you think he can win the whole thing?

Well he was in brilliant form here until the second frame. Looking likely that the winner of Murphy and Ebdon will go on and take the whole thing.
