Anthony McGill and Martin Gould aside, he has faced some serious dross. Either that or players who were too young to make an impact or players who were too old to still challenge him. Incredible luck of the draw.

This is almost as easy as Stephen Hendry's list of first round opponents since 1990.

Muppet is certainly an appropriate username. (For a man carrying a life-changing brain injury sustained during an overly passionate orgy with ladyboys in a Thai hostel).

He would have lost from 9-5 up on Yan Bingtao only for a massive fluke.

Ha ha. You and Pinkballs are well suited. Two pint-sized little trolls who live on the Net.
Sorry I don't post here very often. It would be good to get to know you better. Do you ever get out of your mum's basement...?

I presume you are called Muppet due to the frequency with which men insert their hands in your anus.
I admire you for your boldness.
