World Championship - April 21st - May 7th

[kevshat]

At last we now know the 32 players who will be gracing the Crucible in the World Championship which begins on Saturday. It's always a great fortnight of snooker but this tournament promises to be the best yet with so many potential winners. The draw takes place at 1.30 on Monday and can be heard on TalkSport and then the action begins on Saturday morning with John Higgins beginning the defence of his title. As usual the tournament will be broadcast on the BBC and on Eurosport so an excellent 17 days of snooker awaits us. I'll post the draw up once it has taken place but all thoughts/bets/discussions in here :ok

Re: World Championship - April 21st - May 7th First round draw:

John Higgins v Liang Wenbo Stuart Bingham v Stephen Hendry Graeme Dott v Joe Perry Stephen Maguire v Luca Brecel Shaun Murphy v Jamie Jones Stephen Lee v Andrew Higginson Ali Carter v Mark Davis Judd Trump v Dominic Dale Mark Williams v Liu Chuang Ronnie O'Sullivan v Peter Ebdon Martin Gould v David Gilbert Neil Robertson v Ken Doherty Ding Junhui v Ryan Day Mark Allen v Cao Yupeng Matthew Stevens v Marco Fu Mark Selby v Barry Hawkins That is the correct draw bracket so the winner of Higgins/Wenbo plays winner of Bingham/Hendry and so on.
