It's been best of 7 for the early rounds for a while.

I do love this tournament. Not just because I was there last year when the Rockstar had a maxi, and I only decided to go the morning of the final. It was my birthday, and I had a birthday lunch planned which I cancelled as I was driving up the M4 . Ace memory :)

Very good pink.


The blue was better.

Also I'm going to stick my neck out and say the longest frame record will be beaten this tournament.

MJW didn't play well, Haotian was all over the place though, should have been a closer match. Nevertheless I do think MJW has a good chance of having a good tournament here, he may face Murphy at Last 32 stage but this short format might help MJW's quest.

Ronnie up next then :-D

Against Calabrese, bit of a shame this Australian player hasn't been inspired by his fellow mate and top pro Robbo, can't see him winning a frame against Ronnie to be honest, 4-0 for me, unless he starts well then might be 4-1.

It was supposed to be 12pm, but I think since MJW's match finished early they went 1pm to accomodate with the fact BBC Wales starts their coverage at 1pm. Can't blame them for doing that, I think it's only the TV match though that starts at that time.

Tornado Tony will play Ebdon, real contrast of styles there.

Hopefully like you say he can be inspired, but Ebdon has been playing well recently so it may prove very tough for Tony to beat him.

So far, how many upsets were there?


PTCs tend to produce big name players more often than not.

Most of us would prefer best of nines, or best of 11s. But I don't think bo7s are as much of a lottery as people think.

They're just a bit too short.
