Bank of Beijing China Open W C and Last 32 Discussion !!!!!
Monday 25th ~Sunday 31st of March at Beijing University Students Gymnasium, Beijing, China
Last year in Beijing Peter Ebdon was a surprise winner of his 9th ranking title after a very disapointing season. Peter Ebdon still strugling in 31st spot in the Provisional World Rankings but somehow from nowhere he produces a great tournament so can he repeat last years feat?
This season there have been 8 different winners of the 8 major ranking tournaments to date.
In July Ricky Walden beat Stuart Bingham to win his second ranking title 10-4, also in July Barry Hawkins overcame Peter Ebdon 9-3 to win his maiden ranking event, then in September after a disappointing 2011-2012 season John Higgins was back to winning ways with a 10-9 win from 7-2 down to beat Judd Trump in The Shanghai Masters final. November saw Judd Trump winning his 3rd ranking tournament with a 10-8 win over former World Champion Neil Robertson who himself was going for his 7th win in the International Championship. In December Mark Selby won the UK Championship with a 10-6 win over Shaun Murphy in the final, and February there was two tournaments won by Ali Carter and Stephen Maguire respectively. Carter beat Marco Fu 9-6 to win in Germany and Maguire beat Stuart Bingham 9-8 in Wales. Bingham's second defeat in a main ranking final of the season, which brings us to March and Mark Allen successfully defending his World Open title with a 10-4 win over a rejuvenated Matthew Stevens.
So with the World Championship around the corner who will hit Sheffield as the winner of the latest tournament of a packed season?
