Grand Prix - Quarter-finals discussion

[hegeland]

Terrific draw!!

Judd Trump v Ronnie O'Sullivan
Ding Junhui v John Higgins
Selby/Day v Jamie Cope
Steve Davis v Carter/Parrott

We will have to await the order of play for the matches - but I'd say they will put Ronnie in the evening and Higgins in the afternoon as the main matches.

[hegeland]

Alright, the order of play has been determined. It actually turned out the other way around:

Friday, 17 October

13.30 BST
Ronnie O'Sullivan v Judd Trump
Steve Davis v Ali Carter

19.00 BST
John Higgins v Ding Junhui
Ryan Day v Jamie Cope

I hope Ding can take on Higgins, would be great..

[Rane]

I think it will be a walk over for Ronnie, if he plays to the standard he has shown most of the year.

The evenung matches are tough to call, but the afternoon matces will be easy wins for Ali and Ronnie.

[Blondie]

.......Jamie and Ryan should be a good one, both attacking styles....

[Rane]

If Day can play to the standard from yesterday, I don´t think Cope will have much to do, as his safety game is too weak and he takes too many crazy shots on.

[Monique]

It's a bit of a pity that Higgins and Ding have to face each other at this stage. Both need the ranking points especially as they both will miss the Bahrain event.

Interesting, I was going to say that the evening matches are tough to call, but the afternoon matches will be easy wins for Steve and Judd

[tkt]

somebody know the H2H between Ryan Day and Jamie Cope?
also need H2H between Higgins and Ding!

[JiangYu]

Trump to get whitewashed I feel.

I think in the finals we'll see Day and O'Sullivan but Day will turn out the winner (as long as they don't get drawn with each other in the Semis)

[darrus]

Interesting matches, and I don't think you can predict a winner in either of them. Although I hope for a good result from Ronnie

[Ellena]

It's a bit of a pity that Higgins and Ding have to face each other at this stage. Both need the ranking points especially as they both will miss the Bahrain event.

Why..arent they playing in Bahrain?

Anyone know if we'll have Ros match live on ES ?!

[darrus]

Ellena, they and also Selby are to miss Bahrain because of Premier League.

There's tennis on ES, so...
