World Open 2012

[Odrl]

Good win for Milkins in the end. He was looking so nervy, I thought he was going to lose. But a good last frame, won in two visits.

[redictions for wildcard roung only shocks i see are thanawat thirapongpaiboon beating Milkins and Jin Long beating Sam Baird Shame theres No Li Hang he did well in china last season

one out of two wasnt bad

[LittleMissAlexa]

Incidentally Hossein Vafaei Ayouri who Mark King Beat has qualified for the Main Tour next season as World Amateur Champion I believe will he be the first Iranian to be on the tour?

[LittleMissAlexa]

Michael Holts Looking good a couple of tons from him aswell

[LittleMissAlexa]

The Guy Michael Holt just beat should take a lot from this took a man who made 3 centuries to a decider I also have never seen ZHU YINGHUI before is this the first professional tournament hes played in?

[LittleMissAlexa]

a possibility of a former world number 5 and world finalist getting beating by a little known here poor Nigel Bond

[LittleMissAlexa]

i think Lu Ning's making his professional tournament debut as well so well done both of them they may have bright futures ahead of them

[LittleMissAlexa]

Nigel Bond is gone beaten by a relatively unknown Chinese player well done Lu Ning biggest win of your young career

Never heard of him before, but it's a good attitude of him if he can keep his head up when his opponent scores quite heavily.

It's been a surprisingly successful wildcard round from the Chinese perspective, because it looked a weak field on first glance. There weren't that many of the usual players involved, so it looks like they have more strength in numbers than I imagined.

Thanks for that likahokeith, very interesting. Do you have any idea what events count towards these rankings? Because I don't imagine the likes of Ding Junhui are involved in the Chinese amateur scene much...
