Favourites and dark horses

[Rane]

Hello

I have got this idea about writing who is your favorites to win the title and who do you consider as dark horses.

I consider Ronnie O´Sullivan, Mark Selby, Stephen Maguire and Shaun Murphy as favorits.

My dark horses are Stephen Hendry, John Higgins and Ken Doherty.

After a while I try to make some statistics on what people thinks.

robertson would be my dark horse also

He showed what he was capable of doing last season when winning 2 tournaments, and with a poor season this time he might be fresher than most players and have a good world championship.

The form players this season are without a doubt, osullivan, maguire, murphy, and selby. All 4 players have been consistent through out and tiredness from a long season could maybe take its toll during the 17 days of the world champs.


my moneys on Ding

As defending champion im not sure if JH should be considered a dark horse.
I agree with everyone elses choice of favourites though - Ronnie, Maguire, Murphy, Selby and JH.

My dark horses woule be Cope or Allen. Both destined for a big break through soon IMO.

Dark horse - Fu. Has matured as a match player this season and scoring far more heavily than he did before. Great temperament but now also proving hard to beat.

Favourites - O'Sullivan, Maguire, Selby and Murphy - quite easily the top 4 players in the world at the moment.

My tip to win - Maguire.
