It's not that unlikely really. In the UK the second seed will play the 127th.

In the home nations draw the top 32 are protected (iirc).

So it's only 1 in 96* for Trump to get a rematch. And 1 in 3 that it'll happen to one of the top 32.

*Ignoring any effects such as ranking updates between the two events and some players only entering one event. Which are likely marginal.

Well, Amiri is only jointly ranked 120-128. There are other players who haven't won a single match, so yes it is very unlucky for him. However, I assume he's being sponsored to play, so getting two matches against the World Champion is probably a reasonable windfall.

It's prohibitively expensive for overseas players to participate in UK tournaments, something like £3000 expenses per tournament minimum. Those who decide to live in UK might be able to get by on £25k, and then do a deal with a local club for practice facilities.

It will start whenever Ronnie plays his first match.

Ronnie's first match won't be on TV it will be on stream.
