2019 Grand Prix

Don't care much for this tournament. For one reason cause it's another one that has Best-of-7 over the first two rounds.
However thanks to it's seeding formula (it's in the order of this season's ranking list) there are some funny first round match-ups, you usually don't have as early:
Mark Selby - Shaun Murphy
Barry Hawkins - Ryan Day
Ronnie O'Sullivan - Marco Fu (yeah, he has been bad lately due to his eye problems, but he's still a well-known man, really hope he finds his form once again)
Ding Junhui will probably play Jack Lisowski (if Kyren Wilson wins the German Masters, if Gilbert wins, Ding will play Stuart Bingham).

ROS must be kicking himself right now.

Very pleased for Marco. Even if it's only Best-of-7. But it's a win again and also against Ronnie, whom he has beaten rarely lately.

Thanks Jim.

ROS must be kicking himself right now.

His last shot was pure frustration, suicidal.

I see Dong Dong is playing Williams, I was wondering what happened to him

[arsalanjami]

It seems Judd can't close the deal today. Carebear looking strong.

[arsalanjami]

What a shot by Judd to touch that red. Good match.
