  • world champ seeds

    i noticed earlier there were a couple of threads refering to the quality of the top 16. Think I am right in saying thus far only two unseeded players have made it through to the second round? Is this a record? Wondering what the most number of unseeded players to make it to the 2nd round was and the least?
    Its not how well you play its how good you look playing that counts!

    This is a qualifiers tournament

    No, so far 4 qualifiers have toppled the so called ""elite" - with Doherty dead in the water at 7-2 down.

    Things are looking bad for the games "greats"...

      of that 'elite' you have a pushing-40 Hendry, a 50-year-old Davis and Ken Doherty who would likely have been pretty long odds for even making the final. The majority of the 'proper' top 16 have either yet to play or are winning their matches at the moment - except Selby, who only just arrived in the top 16 in any case.

        Stats can be manipulated any way you like, but the truth is, the seeds are in trouble - they know it.

          Well given you were revelling yesterday in the statement that 'almost a quarter of the top 16' were out - which means 3 players - I think you proved that very succinctly.
