Snooker: German Masters Qualifiers

[kevshat]

The qualifying tournament for the German Masters begins on Tuesday morning and runs until Friday. As with all the events now World Snooker's live streaming will be in operation for the event so we will be able to watch a selection of matches. Those who don't subscribe can watch the matches on Bet365's live streaming console among others. Unlike in most major championship qualifiers everyone ranked 33-96 in the world enter in the first round here so there should be some decent bets to be had over the 4 days.

Re: Snooker: German Masters Qualifiers I'm going to take 2 in the earlier matches on Tuesday. 4pts J.White (-1.5 frames) to beat M.Couch 11/10 Sportingbet Jimmy White is in decent form at the minute as we saw in PTC9 when he led Judd Trump 3-1 before Trump hit the turbo and reeled off the last 3 frames in no time. Given how well he went on to play that weekend it shows how well Jimmy is playing that he took him all the way. I saw Jimmy play both his UK qualifying matches and his scoring really impressed me and even though this is only over the best of 9 frames I can see the Whirlwind winning this match by 2 frames. Matthew Couch is having a horrible season. He's only won two matches since the end of June and has lost to some players worse than Jimmy White. His form and confidence must be pretty low at the minute even if he did beat Jamie Jones a few PTC events ago. Jimmy White wouldn't normally come into the qualifiers in this round where this is the round Couch would enter normally so that shows the gap in form and current ability between the two men so when all is said and done I would expect Jimmy to run out a winner here and a winner no worse than 5-3. 4pts Y.Delu to beat B.Pinches 10/11 Skybet Anyone who has followed me in the PTC events will know I've taken on Barry Pinches a few times. He's having an awful season and hasn't won a match since the Shanghai Masters qualifiers at the beginning of August. That's a long time to go without a win especially with the plethora of PTC events which have been since then. Yu Delu set his stall out for the season from an early stage. He beat Matthew Stevens in the Wuxi Classic right at the beginning of the season and went on to make 2 PTC quarter finals around that time too. In PTC8 a few weeks ago he proved that form was no fluke as he made it to the last 16 there. He almost qualified for the Australian Open where it took Ryan Day in good form to stop him so the youngster from China knows how to play these qualifying events and with his form and confidence high, in stark contrast to Barry Pinches who must be wondering if he's ever going to win again, I will take the Chinese player to make it into the second round of qualifying here.
