Sun nice draws there mite be a few we surprises

[Mark187187]

Trump/ Un-Nooh is my pick of the first round. Should be entertaining. Otherwise, I can easily see 6 seeds dropping without it being particularly surprising. Of the last few years, I can't remember the top 16 being less representative of the current best 16 players.

I see 6 Seeds that I almost expect to lose, then there are the won't be surprised ones....

I think the level of play at the top of the game has been poorer this season than it has been in a long time. Most of the elite players haven't been close to their top form this year: Selby, Ding, Higgins, Murphy, Williams, Hawkins.

Can't disagree with that either. Only three I'd risk putting my money where my mouth is are ROS, Marc Allen and Neil Robertson, followed by Judd and Kyren as odds on but by no means guaranteed.

JT has got his work cut out. If he comes through the first round he could go deep this year...

did he find his cue ?

Trump v Un Nooh best first round match, I expect Robertson to win this year as he's had a great season and has the mental stamina for the long matches.

Allen is in my expect to lose list )

Last I heard his demons were back in his head.....

Trump/ Un-Nooh is my pick of the first round. Should be entertaining. .

It'll either be superb toe-to-toe action or a massacre in Trump's favour - hopefully the former.

Not sure kayen... I'm sure a goodfella here will know.

I heard Ollie Lines's turned up, so presumably Judds did too

Do we know that Judd's went AWOL?

[Mark187187]

Do we know that Judd's went AWOL?

Lines mentioned it on twitter when he said his was missing. Afaik Judd hasn't mentioned it at all.
