I can't see any of those previously at the crucible qualifying. Fu with the best chance (he played well in Hong Kong).
Would love to see PoomJaeng back and clapping at his own shots again

Dan-Cat would like to point out that this isn't possible, because both are in the top-16.

I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name, but this is ridiculous

Or does he have a symbol, like the late artist formerly known as Prince?

My Eurosport subscription automatically renewed for another year and it still works

so it appears for now then people that previously had Eurosport player and have continued to renew it can still use it on the Eurosport website and Eurosport app. I'm hoping that will continue for many many years and they won't get rid of it.
