mate he is a quality player just hasnt enough belief in his game

I can't see Higgins losing in round 1. I'll be astounded if it happened but stranger things have happened. Put it this way, Hawkins will need a 7-2 session 1 lead to stand any chance.

Yeh but you're talking about John Higgins at the end of the day, no fluke that Hawkins is still yet to make an impact in Sheffield, he's found his level and it's a long way behind the top guys.

Hey this topic's open after 17days locked lol

yes really looking forward to the World now.

the matches of the 1st round for me has to be the following

Ronnie O'sullivan v Liang Wenbo

Mark Selby v Ken Doherty

Allister Carter v Jamie Cope

I think any of these matches could go the other way, but most likely seeds will prevail
