Is it luck or judgement that arguably the four biggest names, Parrott, Mcmanus, Ding, Wattana (fame not form) are split on one per day?

Robert Milkins 4-4 Mark Allen ( that is quick!)

I would say coincidence, since the four days seem to match the four quarters of the drawsheet. I mean, it is not as if they have hand-picked the matches; each quarter is on one day.

Ok, the final results of the opening session are:

McCulloch 7 - 2 Dale
Milkins 4 - 5 Allen
Gray 6 - 3 Parrott
Selby 4 - 5 Walden

[Miss Walker]

Nice comeback from Ricky Walden!

[The Statman]

Parrott was in first in the eighth, with 48 or somesuch, when 4-3 down - could turn out to be an important moment in the match.

Scores at end of first session

Ian McCulloch 7-2 Dominic Dale
Robert Milkins 4-5 Mark Allen
Ryan Day 6-3 John Parrott
Mark Selby 4-5 Ricky Walden
