Of course winning the World Title puts that extra bit of cherry on top but winning and keep winning is what makes you succesfull.
Although this event is not the most prestegious of tournament it can and has in the past given players the springboard to bigger and better things.
Making the trip this year is Defending Champion Neil Robertson, Mark Williams, Kyren Wilson, Jack Lisowski, Luca Brecel, Ali Carter and Mark Selby who has been strugling for results of late.

Eventhough the season doesn't start properly until Ronnie plays, it is still good to have the snooker back.

Hamilton has had his eyes lasered. Be interesting if this makes him play faster.
Lu Ning must win.

Ronnie almost made a maxi:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzrepw0rkFQThe white went in off after he potted the brown, he was very unlucky.
He would have gotten that magical 147 otherwise.
Ronnie is the undisputed GOAT of snooker.
