[missneworleans]

8 qualifying matches won in a row for Tony!
6 with 5-2 score
and Wattana is through too yay

[missneworleans]

Is it still possible that they give Wenbo a wildcard?

Nope that would be stupid
they must give wildcards for unknown players dont they?

[Wim]

Stevens might be an overrated player but nevertheless Flemish Haneveer peformed very well : a 5 - 2 win !

[missneworleans]

Matthew is out and Jamie looks like through-with Waldo and Wenbo he has a chance to be at top16

[Mr Snooker]

Sorry about that, globalsnooker, I didn't really think it mattered though.

So Drago on telly, again!
And Wattana there too to represent Asia (so they shoudn't give a wildcard for him then ).

About wildcards - so some of the qualifiers are going to face wildcards initially, right? It means not a guaranteed R1 match, isn't that a little unfair! Hope Tony does not crash out in that one now

& off-topic: wondering how is he travelling back to Malta, if he doesn't like to fly? boat everytime?

Well, the televised stage doesn't always mean there will be a camera rolling at every table, but lets hope so.

Yes, the six lowest ranked qualifiers will have to play against a Chinese wild-card, and as a "newcomer" on the Tour, Tony will be one of them (along with Haneveer, Lawler, Wattana, Milkins and Dunn I think).

wondering how is he travelling back to Malta, if he doesn't like to fly? boat everytime?

I think Tony lives in London, in fact I think he moved to England after turning pro.

Got me there, not all the tables are televised.. It was lucky that Tony played a welshman in Wales Open, probably.
But maybe then they will be interested in showing wildcard rounds on telly since chinese guys will be playing in those?
At least that...

And maybe Tony will get his game sharpened in wildcard round for the match against Perry

I think Tony lives in London, in fact I think he moved to England after turning pro.

Well then if it's just 1 or 2 times per year, why not a boat, of course... Anyways, anyone coming from an island has no choice but to take quite some planes in their life.
(Not that planes are generally that easy to avoid these days.)

Stevens might be an overrated player but nevertheless Flemish Haneveer peformed very well : a 5 - 2 win !

Dont think he,s over rated muck , just suffering with his form for a while like most players do . He,s a top player and will bounce back mark my words .
