The first ranking event of the season begins in Australia on Monday. Some of the very big names have given this a miss but it is still a decent enough line up. Draw, format and schedule here: http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?event=396

Tournament preview: 1pt ew J.Higgins to win Australian Open 20/1 Coral (1/2 1-2) In years gone by Higgins probably wouldn’t have cared much for this tournament, in fact it is only the third time he has entered it, but he does so knowing he needs some ranking points and with some big names missing this is as good a chance as any to pick some cheap ones up. 4pts G.Greene to beat M.Holt 6/4 Stan James Gerard Greene played five days out in the World Cup and also came through qualifying for this tournament before that so he should be match sharp and at 6/4 he looks good value to take care of a Michael Holt who is playing his first match in almost three months.
