My plan for today is to hit the hotel bar at midday for a couple of cheeky lunchtime pints.

Head to the Barbican, where it opens an hour early. Maybe collect some autographs or selfies.

Hopefully see Ding.

On a bad day Fu can play like an amateur, so if Bond beat him it wouldnt surprise me.

Thing with Fu is you never know when a great performance is coming from....

last season he also started crap, then played brilliantly at the Scottish Open that he won, not to mention the UK and Masters.

That is true. I think he is perpetually altering his cue action and is rarely happy with it. Superb player to watch when he is on it.

SNOOKERFAN UPDATE!

Hotel bar a bit dull this afternoon. Barstaff not as chatty as last night. Seem busy checking people in and out. Some of the cleaners just wondered for a blackcurrant squash each.

Ding definitely playing, yeah?

Knowing Ding, he'll probably lose.

Beautiful set up, decent crowd. Much better than that time I went to Crawley.

Fernandez plays in my local club. Lovely bloke but I fear for him today. Hope he does himself justice.
