A McManus win would be the biggest gap between ranking titles at 23 years

You’d think he hadn’t, the way some people were worrying.

Definitely. Bingham is second favourite.


Can they meet in the final?

I was about to say it sounds good, then I remembered Cardiff.

Hossein Vafaei is still my dark horse for the final, but I am not sure if he can handle televised matches. Tomorrow's match against Brecel will be a good test for him.

He had a few televised matches in that tournament he went deep in where he won a bunch of matches 5-4. Was really impressed with his play.

Bingham’s transformation from journeyman to world champ to consistent tournament contender right now is really quite something, when you think about that

He has turned his career around. Deserves more credit for it.

Bingham. :hatoff:


Don't think I've ever seen that. I wasn't following the tour all that closely around that time. I was holed up in my studio making tunes.

I can’t warm to Bingham. I respect his hard work and achievements but he seems difficult and bald
