Shanghai Masters 2009 - Qualifyers and WC round discussions

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.

Great work, Matt! I like it.

Looks like a manageable draw for Ken Doherty, I will be hoping that he qualifies.

Very interested to see how the Guodong/Un-nooh clash finishes up.

Not a nice path for White I agree but otherwise it seems fairly well-balanced and evenly matched. Can see a lot of very close matches there.

Incidentally I have been experimenting with a draw sheet format here for ranking events on my site, has anyone got any thoughts/feedback for me? PM me if you don't want to send the thread off-topic, cheers.

Really like the format of the drawsheet Matt, simple and easy to follow, like the pictures too

If Gray gets through i think it will be quite a tough match for Jimmy and could go either way. If Haneveer beats Gray i would say Jimmy would stand a better chance of getting through to the next round, but still may find it a struggle..

Nice draw for Dott too but would prefer it if he didn't get Pinches given his record.

Jimmy has as Tricky of a Draw as he can Get

I'd definately make him favourite against Gray or Haneveer. I think his head to head against Higginson last season was 50:50 and his chances of winning again should they meet again would be the same. Admittedly Harold would be a tough nut for him to crack if he gets that far. Though if Jimmy really finds some form he could do it.

His draw could be much harder though IMO.

Jimmy will be against Gray or Haneveer in the second round, and after that, hopefully, he will play Higginson and Harold.......i hope he will recover from that injury and will be at his best
