It starts in 3 weeks time..

Ronnie O Sullivan is defending champion

Who are you betting on winning ?

For me Im money on Selby Or Ding

Ding for my money.

ronnie

selby or ronnie

as a Ronnie Fan i hope he wins it

Judd Trump vs Dominic Dale
Mark Williams vs Michael White
John Higgins vs Mark Davis
Barry Hawkins vs Jack Lisowski
Stuart Bingham vs Sam Baird
Matthew Stevens vs Marco Fu
Ali Carter vs Ben Woolastan
Neil Robertson vs Robert Milkins
Mark Selby vs Matthew Selt
Ricky Walden vs Michael Holt
Ronnie O Sullivan vs Marcus Campbell
Shaun Murphy vs Martin Gould
Ding Jun Hui vs Alan Mcmanus
Stephen Maguire vs Poomjang ( lol )
Graeme Dott vs Peter Ebdon
Mark Allen vs Mark King

Ding is a waste of money every year he fails he is over rated imo. Murphy, Selby on best form

Ding is definately not overrated..

I think the break that ronnie as had will help him and he will come back playing better then ever.
But i dont mind ronnie or selby winning it..

If Selby is playing well then I really can't look past him. May not have the flair of players like Trump and O'Sullivan but he is a much better match player and is unbelievably consistent.

Wouldn't be surprised if Mark Allen does well again, also expecting a very good showing from Barry Hawkins this year

If Ronnie comes back fired up he will be a better match player than Selbie, even with the flare!

shame that luca bressel isnt in it
future world champion

good start for ronnie 7-2 in the first session

Jack Lisowski is a good outsider... Already beaten Mark Selby and Judd Trump this season.

Yeah, he's decent but he's young and over the longer format I just can't see him beating any of the big boys. I'd be shocked if the winner doesn't come from Higgins, O'Sullivan, Selby or Robertson. They are just such a class above the rest of the players

Robertson is on good form. Anyone can win it though. Apart from Ding

I can see you're not a fan of Ding

I reckon Robertson has a good chance this year, depends on what Ronnie turns up.

If ding can keep his head he is one of the best break builders in the game and had a massive chance, maguire (or bum chin as I call him) has been playing great, Higgins didnt start his match great at all against mark Davis, ronnie looked well like ronnie, Robertson has been the standout player fr about 3 seasons now but I would throw my money each way at mark Allen great break builder and he amuses me with his comments, not afraid to say what the rest are thinking, selby has a good chance Of Course as he has been winning but not playing exceptional, 2 seasons ago he was hammering 40+ cents in a season but his all round and is immense.

Umm can someone do scores for each match? (virtuoso) lol or can i keep track somewhere!?!? Thanks!

bbc for the UK. not sure for foreigners
