don't worry, he won't.

I've seen this all before. Impressive in opening rounds, then faces a top opponent, falls apart.


Yeah, in best of 5s and 7s. He will be very tough to beat in these long formats. Last year Ding played out of his skin to beat him.

No.

In tournaments like UK and Masters. In UK he was playing great, faced Robbo, lost in the decider playing one of his worst deciders of his career.

He may reach the semis here, he may not, but win this title? Not a chance.

I know we are in the thick of the World Championship, but outside at the front of the Crucible is a stand-up poster of next season's events and dates.

I have done a small piece on my website regarding the list...

Sheesh, look at October / November. CoC, Irish open and UK quite literally right after one another. Very busy indeed.

IMO he could have beaten any of the seeds that have played so far, except for Higgins, ROS and Marco Fu. Fu played very well.

3 or 4 seeded players might have beaten him but I'm not even sure about that.

Yes, they have been for quite a few years now, since 2009 probably, but this year in particular it's been laughlable at times.
