Where to watch: Eurosport

Ronnie O'Sullivan: Still good, annoying. Chances: 8/10
Mark Joyce: Might rubbish himself. 1/10
Anthony McGill: Unlikely to rubbish himself; unlikely to win. 4/10
Ricky Walden: Will give more consideration to his shots than anyone else. 3/10
Ding Junhui: Depends what mood he's in; usually sulking. 5/10
Stuart Bingham: Unlikely to visit a tattooist next month. 4/10
Stephen Maguire: Didn't rule the game for the next 10 years. Unlikely to rule this tournament either. 4/10
Jamie Jones: Don't like his technique. 3/10
John Higgins: Would be a very unpopular winner. 7/10

Sam Craigie: Nope. 2/10
Mark Allen: Angry, inconsistent. 4/10
Lyu Haotian: Should do better than last time. 3/10

Neil Robertson: Has improved as hair declined. 8/10

I've had two whole pounds each way on Mark Williams this year. That's a £4.00 expenditure, far more than I ever bet on anything.

He's looked amazing in spells this season and 33/1 just looked ridiculously overpriced. I know he has a hard draw but get past Higgins and I think everything will start to open up.
