He only rejoined this year. He's sponsored by Darren Morgan sports, maybe they've got spare cash going or he's been saving in the 7 years he's been off the tour.
Dings won considerably more than £500 this season Dan-Cat.

Doesn't count in the rankings though. If he doesn't pick up by the beginning of next season he risk dropping out the top 16 by Christmas/early January when all those tournaments come off.

Wouldn't say drop out of Top 16, but if he doesnt have a fast start he could well find himself on 13th or 14th, close to dropping out.
I still think though he can turn this season around, well kinda of, and I've been saying that his best chance will come at Indian Open. Many top players aren't there and I think he can do well there as defending champ. China Open I doubt Ding will produce many heroics.

Campbell leads the head to head 3-0, but 2 of those meetings were before Selby was a top player in 2006 and early 2007.
Dont think Campbell will trouble him too much here.

Just in. Looks like Selby is playing on for snookers, and he's got one already.

good effort by Selby nevertheless. Definitely one of the best players when it comes to laying Snookers.

already knew of that photo.
That was in the 90s though, even Selby wouldn't try that hairstyle nowadays.

Michael Leslie is coming off a win over Mark Allen in China Open qualifying, and will fancy his chances against a John Higgins who can lose to anyone at the moment, particularly over a BO7 sprint
Ding also looks beatable at the moment, maybe homeboy Lee Walker can pull that off with the crowd behind him. I wouldn't put too much money on that, though...
And Oliver Brown besting Mike Dunn wouldn't be the biggest shock ever, though as it would be an Amateur knocking out a pro', would have to go down as an upset.
They're the 3 matches I would have my eye on, anyway, looking through the draw...
Thanks man
2 out of 3 ain't bad! Hope you made a few quid, Mantorok...

Good ton from Selby. Plays well when other players aren't slowing him down.

Looks like next TV match will be Day v Brown. TBH most of the better matches are already playing this session and the remaining ones aren't that great.

I don't know why they wear waistcoats anyway. Can't be comfortable to stretch over the table with.
Get em in tracksuits, I say.
