Who will be The 2012 World Snooker Champion?

[SnookerFan]

It would be easier to pick a winner if everyone wasn't so bloody good.

Someone needs to say something!

I know! I mean, can't we just have a couple of good players, and everybody else be of a really low standard? I meant, seriously.

Jimmy White could have got an easier first match,Liu Chuang (prediction) thursday week,toughie.

Or perhaps the tournament places could be raffled off? I'd watch that.

Don't give Barry Hearn ideas...

I'm going for a Judd v Ding final with Ding a close winner. If not Mark Allen from the bottom half of the draw
has got to be a serious threat this year.

I hope Stephen Lee

[coomsey76]

Same as it would be good to see Stephen Lee win it and cap off his season in style!!

[streamer45]

It's time for the Jester from Leicester to win the big title

[Masterdoctorgenius]

no way that stephen lee gonna win this

u need stamina and he lacks that

17 days are too much for him

think ronnie osullivan will silence the doubters again with the winning his 4th worlds

After the Masters I was quite convinced that it had to be either Trump or Robertson. Now I´m much in doubt. Stamina is probably a problem for Stephen Lee, and I doubt that O´Sullivan can keep his concentration for a whole tournament. Selby, Ding and Mark Allen could also be potential winners.

[kellie-text]

With a gun at my head, i'll say Robertson. So hard to pick a winner this year though. Lee could be a good each-way bet.

I would like to See Mark Williams Win it but I have Gut Feeling Ronnie is gonna Win it.


Gaz.

Real tough this year. Players like Higgins and Williams haven't really shown much form this season (albeit, Williams made two final apperances at the start of the season). Selby will probably go deep, with all the qualities he does have as a snooker player, he just doesn't win as much as he should.

Personally, I'm hoping for a Ding win. Higgins did a Welsh/WC double last season, hoping that Ding can do it this year. In saying that though, he does have an extremely tough draw - the bottom half looks tougher than the top.

For some reason, I think Maguire has a really good chance.

[grimreaper]

Robbo for me.

I say this every year but I think its probably the hardest draw ever to make a prediction. You can literally make a case for at least 10 players to have a possibility to win it.

For what its worth I think the winner will come from the bottom half of the draw. Can't believe nobody is giving Ebdon a mention here, he's just won in China and has a great record at the crucible. And nobody and I mean nobody will relish playing him.
