Qualifying

[fkhan]

I'm sure I saw on FB that Matchroom live is showing the qualifyers from 21st, I tried to watch the coral on it but I couldn't see it, do you have to subscribe? I've registered but when you look at Events there's nothing in the schedule.

matchroom.live is free to register.

did they bump yours during the sports-drought?
My subscription was about to run out when the WSC was originally due to finish....

phew!

So who will make the main draw of the World Championship?
Usually in the old times, when the modus was similiar to this year almost always 5-8 players, who had to play more than one qualifying match made the draw. It's different this year though, cause everybody has to win at least two matches to qualify.
Still when I looked first at the draw I was tempted to pick nearly all of the latter entries, meaning players ranked 17-48.

My picks:
Joe Perry
Ryan Day
Luo Honghao
Michael Holt
Graeme Dott
Mark Joyce
Jak Jones
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh
Gary Wilson
Martin O'Donnell
Michael White
Sam Craigie
Jimmy Robertson
Matthew Selt
Liang Wenbo
Ali Carter

Reanne v Hicks on one of the telly tables. Prob watch some of that.

I see two players have withdrawn already Lukas Kleckers gets a walkover Sydney Wilson and Amine Amiri a walkover Hamza Akbar into the next round.

Interesting to note the progression or reanne evans in these world championship qualifiers , she lost 7 - 10 to ken doherty in 2015 , good lord was that really five years ago ? she looked decent but her achilles heel seemed to be getting out of snookers , since she’s lost respectably to lee walker and dominic dale , maybe she should work on the war of attrition aspect and stamina not giving anything away as well as escaping snookers , assuming she gets good practice i don’t see why with a little improvement she couldn’t qualify tbh

[Mr Snooker]

My predictions for the 16 Qualifiers are

1 Joe Perry
2 Ryan Day
3 Stuart Carrington
4 Ken Doherty
5 Graeme Dott
6 Matthew Stevens
7 Jak Jones
8 Thepchaiya Un-Nooh
9 Gary Wilson
10 Matrin O'Donnell
11 Lyu Haotian
12 Scott Donaldson
13 Jimmy Robertson
14 Joe O'Connor
15 Lucua Brecel
16 Alan McManus

This is quite tough to watch. Lots of misses from both players.

An understatement really , probably the worst standard I’ve seen
