Shanghai Masters 2009 - Qualifyers and WC round discussions

[spike]

Li Hang late for the match, or something different?

Yeah could be. Good news for Tony Drago though.

Already 1-0 to Tony Drago in no time... at least on worldsnooker scoring

2-0 already. something interesting going on... Li Hang late for the match, or something different?

[bongo]

I am hoping that Sam Baird does well this season. He is a new professional from my area and from my local association so I will be keeping an eye on his matches.

Tough draw for new Manchester player Craig Steadman - Milkins, Hamilton & Cope

Wasnt expecting him to make any venues straight away, but I think its certain he wont make it this time !

he has beaten milkins 5-1 and 4-0 the only two times they have played and has beaten cope 3 out of the 4 times they have played so he is optimistic,yes its a tough draw but he is under no pressure as he is not expected to qualify ,,,but it would not surprise me if he did

[Looki]

To be fair he would do well to beat Li Hang in the first round, not an easy first match at all.

Yes, I agree.

It's interesting to see how T. Drago will do. Judd Trump waiting for him in the last round so a slim chance for T to get to the venue, I think. Even if he gets past the others, Marcus Campbell will also be hard to beat. Tough start for a comeback.

Yes i agree, as much as i would like to see Tony do well i think he's going to struggle here...even with his (vast experience) i dont feel it's going to be enough against the young opposition of today.

Though on his day he's still capable of playing some pretty decent stuff when he feels like it, so who's knows he could surprise us all. Fingers crossed eh.

has anyone got any thoughts/feedback for me?

I like your format especially with player photos... I wish my favourite attribute of the intertubes could be applied to each player... hyperlinks.

Keep up the good work mate!

I thought that White had withdrawn and given Ken a bye through to play Michie...

I think you're probably right there. The scr and w/o don't make sense half the time.

Cheers guys.

Yeah hope Ken can come through, looking forward to seeing how he plays against Jimmy Michie at the NSC on Wednesday, will watch all of that and post a report up here. Guess he's always been ok in the non-ranking events though so it won't be much to go on.

Fergal's season last year was as bad as his though so it should be a close game if he gets that far.

Hasn't he withdrawn from that match?
