Umm, a little early to be certain of that. He'll be 63rd if Un-Nooh closes out against Ursenbacher. Probably safe is where I'd put it at the moment - if Robbie Williams made The Crucible, and Ian Burns did so and won his opening match, they'd both pass Jimmy. Probably won't happen, but not impossible.

was that some jinxing? <laugh> a few bad shots from Igor, and Green closes to 9-8
Un-Nooh won 10-5

Just a small blip it appears!

And looks like Lisowski hasn't kicked on. He was 4-0 and 6-3 up on Carrington and ended up losing 10-7. Poor.


Walker will be sore on that one to lose from 9-4 in front. People have mentioned the Welsh too but at the end of the day he's only 20 and he can put it down to experience.

Lisowski seems to have completely gone off the radar this year, and its not overly surprising he's not qualified.

I think one of the reasons Luca does quite well at the World Championship is because he is a Snooker World Championship addict. He absolutely loves the Worlds! Apparently he records all the matches and watches them back; I think he gets inspired by that extra emotional intensity. :-)

Sorry, I don't know, I hear and read a lot about snooker. I heard that about Luca, but can't tell you exactly where I heard it.

I really hope Luca goes far in this years world championship.

He has many years ahead of him, I think if he doesn't do it this year then it's not a disaster. Still one of the most exciting prospects in snooker. What is he now, about 19? He's got 11 years of improvement.

Would be good to see him qualify and get a run at it so making the last 16 of the event. It's going to be very difficult to qualify because he's got two tough matches to qualify but on his day he can beat Ford and Stevens
