All the best Matthew :?


Stephen Lee could still get in too if he keeps winning this week so it isn't 'locked' yet

its pretty much locked for Ebdon but Marco Fu is still in danger this week.

but even then if mathew stevens wins in brugge he could get in there.

as it stands after Points taken off next time

1 Robbo 45980
2 Carter 43100
3 Higgins 42720
4 Ronnie 40720

so even if carter wins in brugge Robbo will start the next period as provisional no 1.

Jimmy White has made it inside the Top 64 in time for Seeding cut off point without his win over Robbo Jimmy would have had a Extra Best of 17 match at the UK To play and jimmy not being the most fittest of players might have found that Extra match a bit Knackering.

Steve Davis has managed by the skin of his teeth to hold on to his top 32 place for the UK Championship but the fight To stay there continues next week in Sheffield in PTC5.

2 new Pros Alfie Burden on his Return and Anthony Mcgill has managed to get inside the top 64 in the World so they enter the UK at the 2nd Qualifying Round but Igor Figueiredo just misses out at no 67

and Martin Gould for the first time will be seeded inside the Top 32 which means he will only need to win 1 Qualifying match to make the venue.

Last season UK was

1 v 13
11 v 5
8 v 15
12 v 4
3 v 14
10 v 7
6 v 16
9 v 2

if they make it the same then this is how it would look last 16 potentially
Ding v Ebdon
Dott v Williams
Murphy v King
Allen v Higgins
Carter v Cope
Hendry v Ronnie
Maguire v Fu
Selby v Robbo

but i think the UK is more flexible than the World is.

1 v 9
8 v 14
5 v 15
4 v 10
3 v 16
6 v 12
7 v 13
2 v 11

so it would look like this.

Selby v Ding
Murphy v Cope
Williams v King
Higgins v Hendry
Carter v Fu
Maguire v Allen
Ronnie v Ebdon
Robbo v Dott

but thats random aswell i think

Higgins has a terrible 1st round record at the Masters, lost something like 9 or 10 times. When he gets past the 1st round he does really well but thats the best time to get him.
