I would like either Ebdon or Hendry to come through, but i just cannot see that happening.

I think Ryan Day will have too much consistency for Hendry, who over the last two rounds has been given a raft of opportunities by first Allen, then Ding - although to be fair, he still has to put them away.

I have just backed Swail to overcome the 9-7 deficit (sp?) against WenBo, as said above Swail has a decent record in this competition and I think he will be able to follow up he fine mornings work to come through this.

Am really enjoying watching the coverage this year, just a pity i missed the Maximum this afternoon, does that mean Ronnie means business this year? Its an oft discussed topic but its a real surprise that Ronnie has only wn this titel twice, it says more about his demons than his talent.
