Coral Tour Championships

[Fader]

Starts tomorrow. A small event but some top players are here. Here is the draw :

1pm - N.Robertson Vs D.Junhui
1pm - J.Trump Vs J.Higgins
7pm - M.Selby Vs Y.Bingtao
7PM - S.Murphy Vs M.Allen

The good thing about this event unlike the Gibraltor this is a "first to 9" match and elimates any bad luck taking you out of a match. Trump will be looking to win back-2-back events here and he is also reigning champ here. I believe it's going to be shown on ITV4 also.

Looking at the draw, the semi-final looks like being Trump Vs N.Robertson and then the other looks wide open. I think the value is in that bottom half and in my opinion I can see that being Murphy Vs Bingtao. Based on that I'll take these two each-way.

Trump Vs Higgins has been pushed to tomorrow due to Higgins not being able to make it on time. Now, Murphy Vs Allen is at 1pm.

I'll take Murphy on the -1.5 handicap. Murphy has a good record against Mark Allen and has already beaten him in 2020, last month, 6-2. Also 10-3 in the Shanghai Masters in 2019. I like Robertson for the other match but am alittle put off with Robertsons lack of form recently. That and a little girl of 1yr old now makes me think he could be alittle knackered. I'll see how he does against Ding.
