Quite happy with the draw from a Selby point of view, looking at the winners groups if he gets through his group he will play in a group with the winner of groups
8 11 15
So only Mark Allen is the real danger that stands in Selbys way of reaching the final group, if Selby plays well
Higgins, Dott and Maguire not coming down from Scotland
Guessing Ding, Bingtao, Yuelong, Xintong, Guodong and Haotian are all home in China atm as they are all currently top 32 players so I am sure would normally play, as they try to play most things
Interesting list there, thanks for Ronnie's route surprised he is playing really. Could be a tough one to call, a great chance for some lower ranked players or is it non ranking? Looking forward to this shouldn't really matter too much no crowd.
Wasn't really fair to those who literally couldn't make it, if it was ranking especially as with only the World Championships left tour survival could rely on it.
I am thinking of someone like Luo Honghao who is 65th(but with Peter Ebdons Retirement is technically 64th) and about £250 above Joe O'Connor, would be harsh to see Luo lose his tour card because he was stuck in China, whilst Joe could play
Tweeted that yesterday and you can clearly see he is in a club, means he hasn't been practicing the last couple of months so he will be abit cold.
As Selby said in the interview I sent you people with a table at home will have a slight advantage now as they have been able to practice the last 2 months.
Also Trump and Ronnie lets face it there natural talent means they dont really need to practice lol
Look forward to this, going to series link it so i dont forget. Should be good , glad to have snooker back on our screens. So hard to pick out someone tbh, i agree Ronnie and Trump are so natural they could just turn up, not sure they would put the practice in others would. Well see hopefully the majority have tables, i think i read something saying most do. Very surprised Neil doesn't, love watching him so hope he does well still.
Judd Trump 6 Points Elliot Slessor 6 Points Daniel Wells 1 Point David Grace 1 Point
Judd Trump is through no matter what happens in his final match, he is level with Slessor but has a better frame difference and head to head with Slessor and cant be overtaken

So you are probably looking at Bingham, Perry and Carter, so a tougher route into the final group if it pans out that way
Murphy isnt coming over from Ireland
Higgins, Dott and Maguire not coming down from Scotland

Same as Thepchaiya, guessing he is in Thailand

Was surprised Neil Robertson doesn't have a table at home.

ITV4 FROM 2.50
Alexander Ursenbacher has been replaced by Thor Chuan Leong
Not because Ursenbacher tested positive, but because he has had travel issues getting over from Switzerland
Probably people like Doherty maybe, but even they probably use a club.
Even inside the top 32, lots of them still use clubs, but as I say was very surprised Robertson used a club and didnt have his own table.
Glad Selby has his own table tho means he has been able to practice the last couple of months
A good start and an earlier 3 poins for Trump
