Grand Prix 2009

[kellie-text]

Has anyone attending received their tickets yet? I ordered mine weeks ago and nothing yet!

Might be worth ringing them. Mine came a few days after booking them.

Cheers Kellie, just gave them a call. They said they haven't been received from the promoter yet and to call back if I haven't got them by Thursday and they will issue duplicates for me to collect at the Kelvin Hall, should be okay though!

the random draw does make it very interesting, my money is on Mark Allen to win it at 33/1.

some tips on here (plug) www.*************

Rocket casts spell on Wizard

Ronnie puts the pressure on Higgins ahead of Grand Prix

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...595136,00.html

"John is one of the all-time greats and I think he's actually underachieved in his career," he said.

"It sounds a strange thing to say, but it's because of how highly I rate him, and I know some of the other players would agree with that.

"He's the best tactical player ever - ahead of Steve Davis - plus he's a heavy break-builder, so he's got no weaknesses.

"Although he's won three world titles, his game is so well suited to the longer-frame tournaments that I would have expected him to win more.

"He's come into this season automatically feeling full of confidence because he's world champion. That's how I was last year and it's a beautiful feeling."

I agree with Ronnie..

[montoya10]

I agree with Ronnie, John is an all-time great, but he gave me no monent of "Oh, how can a human possibly cue like this!", and so, never played as flashy as Mark J or Ronnie himself did. But I appreciate his strong mental level that made him a world champion as young as 22

By the way, if there was no Ronnie or no Mark, I would probably end up being a John fan

EDIT: Maybe the reason of him not giving me "Oh, how can a human possibly cue like this!" is that he possibly played at the same great level in his entire career and made me used to his style..

Hoping that Ken can continue his strong start to the season today and pull off another win. Won't be easy against Selby but fingers crossed. As I see it, he could go back into the top 32 provisionally with a bit of luck. Will try to update the list after every match.

No overwhelming preference either way in the other three matches. Can see Campbell causing an upset.
