World Championship Draw

[jrc750]

are there any steaming sites beside bet365 where u have to pay?

the only 2 site i could find are Wii-cast (table 2) and Meevos (table 1) on
fromsports, but they are offline right now.

Whats this got to do with the draw ??

[singchin]

sorry i was thinking of the Championship League Snooker thats on right now.

Im happy robbo and stevens are in opposite halfs

and the best part of the draw for stevens was the allen and maguire section

good luck robbo and stevens

[steedee]

Ding has been my bet for this for months now, this draw makes me even mor confident!

Should the crucible curse kick in early and Robbo lose the first round it will be interesting to see how far Judd Trump gets. its not the toughest quarter with Fu/Gould and then Dott/Carter (probably) to come he could and perhaps should (if he ever wants to live up to the hype) make the semi's.

Because of Ding's poor record at the Crucible I make Selby a confident tip to make the semis at least. The other three quarters are wide open. Neil Robertson and Mark Williams are potential winners but are just as likely to lose in Round One, although Robertson may have a possible Round Two rematch with Martin Gould. I do think O'Sullivan's tough draw could make him knuckle down to the task and he could make a run to the semis.

For what it's worth my semi final line up at the moment would be Dott v Selby and Allen v O'Sullivan with Selby edging O'Sullivan in the final.

Can't wait for it all to start.

Martin Gould could have a very similar championship to last year, playing Marco Fu in the first round and probably Neil Robertson in the second.

Interesting to see what happens this time if Martin were to go 11-5 up again against Robbo... :snooker:

now that would be interesting indeed, i don't think he will lose from 11-5 up a second time in a row

[circle]

hmm

I fully expect Higgins to beat Lee by at least 10-4!

[thedynamite]

tie of the round has to be robertson v trump gonna be an open championship this year

[Mr Snooker]

Also Ryan Day V Mark Williams should be good, mark could well go first round

[Rane]

I still see John Higgins and Mark Williams as the favorits this year, obvious only one of them can reach a final. Quite tough a tough draw for John Higgins though, but I still hold him favorit against Lee, it´s a shame for Lee, as he´s playing really well at the moment.

Neil Robertson has gotten a quite tough draw, but I still fancy him to win, and then maybe a repeat against Gould next ? Neil could be the man to break the cruicible jinx, as he´s so relaxed and has this great record in the business end of the tournaments.

And what about O´Sullivan. It looks like one of the easier draws, but he hasn´t really seemed to be interested in long lasting matches this season, so will that change ?

[Rane]

I´m actually also surprised to see, that Williams and Day has only meet each other two times and Day has won them both, but when Williams fell down the rankings Day went up and visa versa.

[Ronnie's tip]

Ronnie needs to beat Murphy, Higgins and Williams before the final. Impossible for him. He'll go out against Higgins.

Assuming he survives Dale?!

I personally miss seeing him play good snooker throughout a tournament but sadly I can't see it happening this year.
