China Open 2010 - Qualifiers Discussions!

[superaussie]

I haven't heard of his opponent. But with Drago, you know the opponent never beats him - the table does with the help of the opponent. That explains why he pots a few and often breaks down. An exchange of dominance between him and the table. But for the sake of the scoreboard, the opponent must pot a few. The opponent works for the table, which is Drago's real opponent

good draw for drago

[Mignon]

Fingers crossed for Tony! I want to see him go to Beijing.

[Mal]

Yes, come on Tony - hopefully he'll win and then it should be interesting playing JP in the next round. IDespite Tony's impressive form this season, think Parrott may actually prefer meeting Tony than some others whose game he doesn't know.

cant believe i missed this... ruined my predict the qualifiers comp.

Maybe you can still go on with it say setting tomorrow morning as a deadline? Still loooong way to go. And everybody will know today's results, so equal starting grounds.
Just that the points gained would be slightly less comparable to other qual predictions, but who intends to compare them much
Oh yeah, but would be very short time frame to post the predictions.

Edit:
Go Tony & Thepchaiya Un-Nooh!

That doesn't give much credit to Tony's opponents if and when they beat him.
It;'s nothing whatsoever to do with scoreboards, or tables. It's all to do with how Tony plays on the day and how his opponent plays.

For the record Lee Page is now in his second stint on the Pro circuit.

Has Jimmy White ever considered to take a chinese passport? In that case there will be chance the Chinese Snooker Federation to grant him wildcard for both China Open and Shanghai Masters every year.

Mm, would be cool Tony 'd make such a passport!

Then wasn't any defiance when they gave Tony a wildcard to play in Malta. But White getting one for the Masters caused a stir

Maybe is has something to do with being local... So nobody objects chinese getting wildcards in china tournaments too.
But Masters is considered as 'world' or 'pro-tour' tournament probably.

According to live scoring, it's 3-3 in the Jimmy Robertson v Stephen Rowlings match but Stephen is leading 47:7 in the 7th frame!

Come on Jimmy!!!

Another good win for Tony, bit of a 'masters' match against Parrott tomorrow.
