They got the hawkeye technique here as well. Barry's not playing well, in front of a very scare audience. The unfortuante thing is, the seats that can be seen by the cameras are much more expensive than the ones further back "on the balcony" where the majority of the seats are and also the majority of the crowd. So when it looks like there are three people watching, it could in fact be three hundred.

me persanally if i was tournament director id have put Dunn v Yang Qingtian on main match table...i think that will be the most competative match .....Yang has experiance of winning Wildcard matches on more than 1 ocation....

So, first matches are under way in just a few hours. The pro players should have no problem beating the wildcards, or will there be any surprises, do you think?
