All has come down to this.
Mark Selby (1) vs. Fergal O’Brien (45)
Ryan Day (16) vs. Xiao Guodong (44)
Neil Robertson (9) vs. Noppon Saengkham (72)
Marco Fu (8) vs. Luca Brecel (30)
Shaun Murphy (5) vs. Yan Bingtao (63)
Ronnie O’Sullivan (12) vs. Gary Wilson (59)
Liang Wenbo (13) vs. Stuart Carrington (48)
Ding Junhui (4) vs. Zhou Yuelong (37)
Stuart Bingham (3) vs. Peter Ebdon (42)
Kyren Wilson (14) vs. David Grace (51)
Mark Allen (11) vs. Jimmy Robertson (39)
John Higgins (6) vs. Martin Gould (18)
Barry Hawkins (7) vs. Tom Ford (32)
Ali Carter (10) vs. Graeme Dott (29)
Anthony McGill (15) vs. Stephen Maguire (24)
Judd Trump (2) vs. Rory McLeod (54)
Cracking draws so far! My top picks are:
- the Scottish clash between McGill & Maguire (who met in the same stage in 2015!);
- the Chinese clash that I always wanted between Zhou and Ding
- A potential shock for Shaun Murphy to be against 17 year-old Yan Bingtao
- A match for the purists – Bingham & Ebdon and Carter & Dott
- Break-building bonanza between Marco Fu and Luca Brecel!
