In theory there could be a conclusion in every Session from this evening, and is what Bazza has said that wants, but it doesn't happen?

It's a bit strange that Fu and Lyu start their match already this morning, but only finish it tomorrow evening.

Well if you bet on Selby, Allen and Wilson then you should have a QF, unless Murphy recovers from near death\paralysis :wink:
In theory Hawkins is a QF Banker, and could face Day rather than Ding - admittedly he would need someone to beat ROS to get to the Final.
With Ding and Higgins having looked rather dodgy\susceptible lately; Selby only kind of back in form (I don't think he looked that good in China, bar one match and Woollaston should have won, ie been 5-1 up not 3-3) and with a tough Quarter; and ROS looking knackered in China it could be the year of the next tier?

I remember Judd being confident for the title and loved seeing it because you don't see it in snooker and then that loss he will never be let forget happened

Cheap start to the tournament for me - a couple of matches I'd pay to see are scheduled for morning sessions, Ronnie is tomorrow afternoon and will be permanently sold out, and there are a quite a few dull sounding matches(Selby vs Perry, Carter vs Dott) I'll keep my powder dry for the second round I think.

Odds to win at one of the popular betting sites. I think Selby as great value at 7/2. Those odds suggest he has a 2 in 9 (22%) chance of winning. I think it's much higher than that. Wilson and Allen at 28 to 1 also seem like value bets to me, while O'Sullivan is at 9/4 only because many casual fans bet on him and the line adjusts to that. I think the true odds are more like Selby 3/2 and O'Sullivan 4 or 5 to 1.
O'Sullivan - 9/4
Selby - 7/2
Trump - 7/1
Higgins 11/1
Ding - 12/1
Robertson - 14/1
Williams - 20/1
Hawkins - 22/1
Murphy - 25/1
Allen - 28/1
Wilson - 28/1
Day - 33/1
Bingham - 33/1
Maguire - 80/1
Lisowski - 80/1
Everybody else is 100/1 or more.
