There was me thinking the matches were mid day tomorrow and didn't think about the time difference. So I'm going for the following in tomorrow's 2 matches. First, I'm taking Selby -2.5 frames. It's abit risky because I do think Fu will want to compete here but I just think Selby's form and the all round quality of his safety game means that he should keep Fu below 3 frames. In the other match, I'm going to take "Either player to win 3 frames in a row?" as a "No!" I think 13/8 is a nice price. Especially as it's a "first to 5". I think Higgins is playing Trump at a good time. On the flip side, Trump seems to always beat Higgins and so i'll go with this. 4pts Selby (-2.5 frames) to beat Fu evens bet365 4pts Either player to win 3 frames in a row? No! 13/8 bet365

Selby/Robertson final, I reckon

Covid. Williams has stepped in.

absolute serial let down. Just lost to Dobey , 82 average. Route just gets easier and easier for MVG

An event we've not seen since 2017 in which Neil Robertson won, we're in Hong Kong for this invitational event. Just 8 players here. 2 matches a day tomorrow and Friday. Semi finals on Saturday and the final on Sunday. I like Mark Selby this weekend. He looks to have put his issues behind him recently and looked solid at the British Open. I think he beats Marco Fu tomorrow and then he would face Trump or Higgins. I don't think he would fear playing either of those. I actually thing Higgins would cause the biggest issue for Selby. I'll take him to win this event. 3pts M. Selby to win Hong Kong Masters 9/2 bet365

I was tempted with PP offering every player hitting 3+ 180s. 10/1.

Can fully understand that, with Lewis. It's a tricky card, tonight.

That's round 1 completed then and Round 2 gets underway tonight. Just the 4 matches today and tomorrow so perhaps it wont be another midnight finish. Here's tonights lineup : Lewis Vs Dobey Wright Vs Ratajski MVG Vs Bunting Clayton Vs Van Den Bergh I like Lewis to beat Dobey tonight. Lewis looked really good in beating De Sousa and that was a decent look De Sousa, too. He has been in abit of form now for a while as we've seen with various Players Championships events, also. My slight concern is that Dobey has won won the last 5 head-to-heads between the pair but the last match was 2 years ago and I feel like Lewis is getting back to some nice form in the last 6-12 months. I feel like Lewis is the best "double in" player of the 2 and as we've seen, that's very important. I think we'll see Wright and MVG through tonight. I think even if Bunting gets into a good position, because I do think MVG is still vulnerable, I reckon he'd bottle it. It's the final match that looks to be the closest. Despite Van Den Bergh performing the better of the two, Clayton has a real way of winning matches that he shouldn't. I think he is the better "big time" player now and if Van Den Bergh gives him a sniff then you know he is going to take it. 5pts Lewis to beat Dobey 4/5 bet365 -------------------------------------------------- 2pts Wright, MVG & Clayton 3/1 paddypower 1pt Lewis, Wright -1.5, MVG -1.5 and Over 4.5 sets Clayton/Van Den Bergh 14/1 paddypower

Ugh, bloody Searle was awful. Smith saved me somewhat tonight. Noppert looked good and I'll need him with just a couple outrights left. Blimey.

3 for me tonight. First is Searle to beat Razma and hit the most 180s. Searle likes a 180 and I think he beats Razma. I feel like this is the same bet as Searle winning in my eyes as Razma isn't a huge 180 hitter. Ross Smith takes on Gilding in a very 50/50 looking match. The winner could go deep here. I was tempted with just going for Smith to have the most 180s (evens most places) but I'll take a gamble on him winning the match, too at 12/5. Finally, I'll go with the treble of Searle winning 2-0, Cullen to beat Heta, as I feel like he is the better "big time" player between the two. I think Michael Smith Vs Nathan Aspinall will be a good match. instead of risking Smith to win, I'll take him to hit the most 180s. He has a better rate this year and I feel like he could need the scoring power if his double troubles come back to haunt him. 5pts R.Searle to beat Razma AND hit the Most 180s evens paddypower 2.5pts R.Smith to win AND hit the Most 180s 12/5 paddypower 2pts treble - Searle (-1.5 set handicap), Cullen, M.Smith to hit most 180s Vs Aspinall 7/1 bet365

The 5/2 comes in. Very close to both winning but the outright picks didn't perform last night.
