No thread yet. It will be interesting to see what happens. I think all players have a chance to win it. Anyway there´s a few interesting matches in the first round:

Tom Ford v Mark Allen should be a quickfire match.
Liang Wenbo v Stephen Maguire that sound like an interesting match with two players who have been playing well lately.
Dave Harold v Rod Lawler The match that has been set up especially for Cueman I still remember last year when Harold spent so much time considering an easy safety that he ended up giving a sitter to his opponent.

The ultimate thing would offcause be a repeat of Drago - McLeod. The funniest snookermatch I´ve ever seen.
Unfortunately I couldn´t find a link for the whole match. Drago makes the 57 in 4 minutes, and McLeod then slowly came back.
