    This is my 2 mins selections for a lucky 31.
    Zhang Anda to beat Mark Allen 10-8 @9
    Zhao Xintong to beat Liam Highfield 10-5 @5.5
    Mark Williams to beat Antoni K 10-4 @6
    Baz Hawkins to beat Matty Stevens 10-4 @7
    Dave Gillbert to beat Ding 10-7 @10

    When I have some decent time, Ill have another pop at the later first round matches.
    I didnt look at your selections until after Id put mine on, I see we are close on Zhou and Ding. :good:

    Highfield needs to take advantage of Xintong here… 4-3 down but the Champ is closing his eyes and yawning a lot. He’s bound to improve in the evening session so Highfield needs to smell blood and get infront

    If anyone can break the curse it will be Xintong. As predicted he’s gone up a gear in the 2nd session and Highfield needed a lead this morning.
    If Zhao can take out the next two frames you’ll be off to a flyer in the correct scores, Landafar… :good:

    “the Champ is closing his eyes and yawning a lot.”

    I didn’t know he was a TRF member.

    Ill need some good scoring from Williams today, Hopefully Hawkins will give Stevens a couple of frames. The Anda Allen match could be a 10-9 either way.

    Ding and Gilbert start this morning, so all mine will be over by tomorrow.

    Theres an article on the beeb website as to why snooker played in silence. It didnt mention the Ken factor, but I agree he should not be anywhere near a micro phone.

    Good start for Wu in your L15 :good:

    I cant complain with 2 from 5 in the 31, its paid for the L15.

    Lost Anda in my two win selections, was thinking about Allen, but had my fingers burnt by him in previous years. So for another in the bottom half to replace Anda, added Hawkins @28s.

    Typical of the media putting so much pressure on Stan Moody by comparing him as snooker’s Luke Littler.

    We haven’t had a Luke Littler in any sport before, dominating at such a young age. Now the media expects one to pop up every couple of years.

    Moody is a good player but nowhere near capable of winning a World Championship at his current level. He’s young and can improve but he’s not for me.

    So, which player do you think has the worst hairstyle? I say Judd Trump 😂

    LOL Richard88. I now wonder if the result of this match will foretell the future of the Strait of Hormuz.
