Haha try and relax and get a good nights sleep man. Maybe a sedative or three might help.

I see they've ditched their experiment with having two matches finishing on day one after last year both ended 10-2 meaning the days snooker was over by 8 o'clock.

I think Dotty wins this one again, 10-7 or not.

To get myself in the mood I just rewatched Sexy Fergal vs Selby from last year.

Changing the order meant I got a lot of half matches when I brought tickets. Each session used to have a corresponding end time. So, for example 2.30 Saturday on Table One always used to end on Sunday at 7.00pm. It made buying full matches easier.

Apparently I predicted a 10-4 loss for Fu. What was I thinking there?

Maybe you were thinking Fu's eyes will not be healed yet?
