Who do you think will win?

[Mitsuko]

Will it be another surprise or will a "favourite" win?

[Caroline]

Of course I think Ding can win it again

[elvaago]

My money's on John Higgins. He has something to prove.

[April madness]

I think Steve Davis can win it. Again

[elvaago]

I'mgoing to be a doubting Thomas here, but I don't think Hendry, Davis or White will ever win any tournament ever again.

Please prove me wrong, fellas!

[April madness]

Ah, I forgot Jimmy still has a chance to win it too! Oh well, if not Davis, then it can be Ronnie or Dott

[Mitsuko]

The person I think will win will be out of: -

- Ding Junhui
- Stephen Lee
- John Higgins
- Mark J Williams

[Caroline]

Hi Mitsuko! Why doesn't you include Ronnie in then? I think he stands a good chance in such long format matches if he is determined to win this time.

Will it be another surprise or will a "favourite" win?

I think the bookmakers will have Ronnie, Higgins and Ding as the favourites. I would agree with them if this is the case. I dont think Ronnie will be a runaway favourite for anything anymore though. Two or 3 years ago he would have been clear favorite for everything, but he has been famously inconsistent recently and the other players are closing the gap on him.

Also Robertson now has to be included, as hes proved he can win tournies, beating O'Sullivan along the way. An "outsider" or newcomer like Day or Selby could also do it if they have a good run. At the moment they would have more of a chance of winning than old Hendry has of getting it together.

Gee i was proved wrong to many times when i tried to make a prediction about who's going to win a tournament...
But i would name Ronnie and Higgins this time as possible winners in my opinion.

And as "second favorites" ...if i can call them like that, i would name Ding , Day and of course Neil Robertson , tho in a way i doubt Neil will have such a good run as he had at the GP.

[RaNeN]

Favourite!!! and its gonna be "The Rocket" Ronnie O ' Sullivan!!!

Mark my words!

[mcmanusrules]

Im going to say Peter Ebdon-

Ding vs Day
Gray vs Stevens
Dale vs Carter
Selby vs Ebdon
King vs Higgins
Hamilton vs Lee
Perry vs Hawkins
Mark Davis vs Doherty
Harold vs Hendry
Greene vs Williams
Swail vs Maguire
McCulloch vs O'Sullivan
McManus vs Murphy
Cope vs Davis
Bond vs Robertson
Holt vs Dott

Day vs Gray
Carter vs Ebdon
King vs Lee
Hawkins vs Doherty
Hendry vs Williams
Maguire vs O'Sullivan
McManus vs Cope
Robertson vs Dott

Gray vs Ebdon
Lee vs Hawkins
Williams vs Maguire
McManus vs Robertson

Ebdon vs Lee
Williams vs Robertson

Ebdon vs Williams

Ebdon WINNER

[Juza]

I think Neil Robertson can make it back to back ranking titles. Ronnie O'Sullivan has been playing well so he is one of my favourites. And i also think ( and hope) that Matthew Stevens will do well.

[gensdon]

i think it'll be ronnie this time if he concentrates on winning, not "enjoying" himself too much, second up will be ding, or else, there will be someone we could have never guessed again...

[hegeland]

I'm praying for the best in history - Stephen Hendry.

If he just practises enough and gets some confidence back, I can see him lifting the tophy next month.

Otherwise it will be Ding - again.
