Will only miss the morning session tomorrow and not all fussed about seeing the conclusion to Allen v Mann unless Mann somehow beat Allen from here.
GL Ding.

Will miss the morning session too.
Ding should play, I hope, but Gouldy won't be easy for him. Allen should finish it off v Mann.

Didn't realise Liang held a lead over JT in the head-to-head. Wow, another seed falling?!
Gould/Ding should be close, as should Perry/Wilson.
Andre, what's the seed to qualifier count now?

Seeds 6-5 Qualifiers
With Hawkins and Allen up 6-3 against lacklustre opponents, will probably be 8 seeds at worst.
Edit: Also saw somewhere that last time 3/4 top 4 seeds fell first round was 1982 if anyone's interested.

With Trump v Liang, depending on what matches you include/discard, only match they've had longer than bo7 was that match at the UK a few months ago.

Yeah, it's a bit distorted because Ronnie won't get on a plane.

Tomorrow's matches are very watchable indeed.
I always love watching Ding play and I like watching Perry, Kyren in there too is a bonus. Not to mention Trump. Good lineup.

Basically, in 2016, if your name ends in 'o', you're screwed:
Bingo, Robbo, Murpho, Magso. Trumpo?

If you'd heard of Magso and Murpho you'd have known why they lost.
Trumpo and Dingo; there could be a lot of blood spilled in this years first round.

Someone said something about depression. Apparently, he's a sufferer.

I wonder what Hendry will say tomorrow if he gets a chance about Robbo going out in the first round.
In the final session of the Walden match he was saying that the seeds put themselves under unnecessary pressure in the first round and that he doesn't understand why. He thinks there shouldn't be any more pressure than usual because a seed should be better than a qualifier, or some bullocks like that.

Hendry tweeting about Judd loosing to Barry Hawkins at the masters "Would Robertson have lost that match?"

Thanks!
I wanted to hear it in his own words and the video seems to be private so I don't know how you found it. Total sympathy for him in regards to mental issues, must be amplified in a place like the crucible.

At every level, snooker is brutal. Kill or be killed.
So many pros have had issues it's unreal. Being indoors all day can't help either. Not talking to many folk, solo practice or just a small inner circle of practice partners. Then into the ring again.........
