Mark Davis currently stands at 18th in the provisional rankings. 700 points of 16th place and with a decent chance of reaching a semi final could Mark Davis be the most unlikeliest player in the history of snooker to reach the top 16 and gain a direct place at the Masters?
Davis has actually played in the Masters when he defeated Cypriot Mehmet Husnu in the final of the 2002 B&H Championship. Unfortunatley for Mark he lost 6-5 to McManus in the wildcard round.

If he makes it then good on him, places shouldn't be refused just because he's not a 'big name'.

Stevens will lose his Bahrain runners up points from 08/09 at the start of the next rankings so he may drop out of the top 16 before the Masters

yeh that would help keep him in the top 16 for the Masters but hes almost done enough to make the top 16 for the 1st cut off after the World Open but any extra points he can gain in this and the World Open will help as then he wont be under major pressure at the UK and the last few PTCs to get the points he needs, cos we know what happens when Stevens needs points
Anyway back to Davis and yeh i think hes a stick on for the top 16 at the next cut off point but ill be honest to admit i dont like him.

Stevens is still 17th with points factored in for this week so far. The main problem also the players just above him that are in reaching distance are all still left in the tournament with one guaranteed a quarter final spot.

I've been backing Mark Davis in all predictions events since his 6 reds win last December and he's also in my fantasy team. He's not letting me down. If he gets top 16 then I say he deserves it. About time obviously.

Yes good player, was suprised with the form he showed in last years china open was it? where he made a 140 or something and that had some good stat to go with it? Hes playing very well at the moment and with the new rankings he deserves it and im sure he would be glad to say hes entered the top 16 in his career, and who knows what position he could climb up to this season.

yeh hes got so little points to lose (5950) i think from the rest of the season so hes going to def hit the top 16 at some point soon this season.
Hendry is due for a big drop soonwith all the points hes has to lose
King was a loss today away from being in line to losing his top 16 place, as it is now hes going to survive again
