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!
