Ssb - o'sullivan and selby set to clash again

[MySockPuppet]

Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Selby could be about to renew their rivalry in the first Players Tour event, which gets underway on Friday.

O'Sullivan and Selby will clash in the last 32 if they each win their first two matches, although Selby could have to play Ryan Day in the last 64.

Selby pulled off two dramatic victories over O'Sullivan last season, in the Wembley Masters final and in the Betfred.com World Championship quarter-finals.

O'Sullivan starts out in the last 128 against Welshman Andrew Pagett, who is back on the circuit this season having played on the main tour during the 2008/09 campaign.

Selby's opening match is against David Grace, the former European and English amateur champion.

Fans' favourite Jimmy White starts out against Gareth Green, former UK and Masters champion Matthew Stevens begins his bid against Accrington's Chris Norbury and Shaun Murphy faces Birmingham's Mitchell Mann.

Peter Ebdon meets Polish cueman Krzysztof Wrobel, Mark Williams will play Marc Harman and 15 year-old Luca Brecel, who won the European amateur title earlier this month, will play former Grand Prix champion Marco Fu in perhaps the last 128's most intriguing tie.

The eventual winner pockets a cheque for £10,000 and receives 2,000 ranking points.

The full draw is here.

can we watch this event via live streaming this friday???

I don't think so. I truely hope that PTC tournaments will be streamed at some point. I see that the main objective with these competitions were to give players more playing opportunities but also they should keep in mind that it's audience which makes a sport big and definitely TV and internet crowds are bigger compared to the ones that actually attend to tournaments.

But one step at a time.

"Good morning,

Unfortunately the event next week [this week now] will not be televised. In regards to the Players' Tour Championship events, currently only the final stages in March 2011 will be televised

Kind regards
