2024 Champion of Champions

[Cue crafty]

Well done Xiao. Wonder what his secret is. Seems to have found a bit of form from somewhere.

Maybe 17 years hard slog to earn your first ranking titles helps loosen the arm a little and also helps a player lose that fear that's always there in the back of the mind.

Xiao Guodong is becoming my new fav Chinese player. Used to be Liang Wembo before things went tits-up. I was also a big fan of Mark King after meeting him at The Crucible. Hope I don’t jinx Xiao lol.

Any other favourites Nifty, I'm thinking of putting a bet on lol.

It surprises me Shehab hasn't won a match this season after beating Moody in Sheffield in the Crucible qualifiers, probably a bit unsettled in the UK i don't know.

Absolutely no need to go for a re-rack there.

Not a bad draw for Ross Muir, Jimmy eternity White then Robert Milkins.

Maybe. Jimmy and The Milkman are still very dangerous. Depends what mood they’re in. Ross will be steady as normal.

Personally see it as a good draw for Jimmy - he's more than capable of beating both. Would be cool to see him at the UK.

It seems that Xiao only comes alive when he's behind.
