[paulthorne147]

This is my take on things, but you know there will be one or two suprises along the way like every year:

10-4 John Higgins v. Barry Hawkins
10-7 Mark King v. Steve Davis
10-3 Neil Robertson v. Fergal O'Brien
10-5 Marco Fu v. Martin Gould
10-7 Ali Carter v. Jamie Cope
10-8 Joe Perry v. Michael Holt
10-6 Ding Junhui v. Stuart Pettman
10-5 Shaun Murphy v. Gerard Greene

10-4 Stephen Maguire v. Stephen Lee
10-7 Peter Ebdon v. Graeme Dott
10-6 Mark Allen v. Tom Ford
10-4 Ryan Day v. Mark Davis
10-5 Mark Selby v. Ken Doherty
10-4 Stephen Hendry v. Anda Zhang
10-7 Mark Williams v. Marcus Campbell
10-5 Ronnie O'Sullivan v. Liang Wenbo

I think there will be a 147 again this year, standard is too good not to and so many frames to be played.
