Same. Supposed to be my Easter break from uni, and I have odd jobs to do.

Good luck to Ding, and Bingham.

which is wrong in my view.

Selby should be the favourite, Ronnie now probably 2nd since Trump already out.

Ronnie
Hawk
Robbo/Fu/Higgins

Selby/Guodong/Robertson/Fu is mouth-watering, but Selby definitely has the edge there. Robbo can't be counted out, but there's a danger of Fu having reprieved man syndrome after surviving that first round.

O'Sullivan/Murphy/Ding/Liang. If Murphy wins, the draw opens up a bit. If ROS wins, I find it very difficult to see Ding or Liang beating him in the QF, for obvious reasons; Ding is mentally weak against ROS, and Liang is too twitchy.

Wilson/Bingham/Allen/Higgins is a tough call for the first semi-finalist in that part of the draw. I couldn't even pick one.

Hawkins looks good on paper to reach the semis at least: Dott in the L16, and then Mags/McLeod in the QF. He's definitely one to keep an eye on.

I doubt Ronnie will win this one again in just 2 sessions, but if this carries on like this then there's only one winner, and easily a 13-5 or 13-6 scoreline.

Murphy trying to out pot Ronnie just doesn't work.

The only players I've seen that can do that were Hendry, Trump and Hunter.

Totally wrong though spinning a bo25 match out like this.


It always works out that three of the 2nd round matches are played over three days.

Maguire's and Selby's matches are the same.

But as Cloud Strife said earlier and he has a point What else can he do His safety game not up to much God people say Hendry did not have a safety game But to out do Davis he had to compete with him at that and he did and did it very well much better than Murphy can anyway.

Sod all to do with that its how it is and how its been for best part of 40 years.

I wonder if Murphy will follow in his hero Teresa May's footsteps and 'empty chair' The Crucible' for the second session, thus handing O'Sullivan the match with two sessions to spare?

He may even fall down in his hotel shower accidentally on purpose....

"Last night I slipped in my shower when trying to pick up the bar of soap and suffered an injury that procludes me from beating O'Sullivan on 'Table 1 at The Crucible'. I apologise to my fans that I will not be able to continue in this event. However, I hope to return in Riga in June. I will be visiting the same doctor as Judd Trump did for his shoulder injury. I thank you all for your time and wish you a very happy 2017 and don't forget to vote for The Conservative Party on June 8. I am just off to make love to my wife. Thank you all once again".
