    didn't even no this was on until a happen to switch over to channel 2 and seen it. love the world championship. is this tournie on once a year because a swear a watched this like 6 month ago it can't be a year already surely lol.

    anyway.. a want hendry to win my all time fav. or higgins for ovb reasons realy do love that guy. like neil robertson to hope he does well.

    agree with you anthony it's out of... robertson, ding junhui and you can never write of higgins he's got the best temperment in the game a would hate to come up against him.

    also ronnie has a great chance but what ronnie turns up is anyones guess, if it's the o'sullivan we know best no one will stop him.

    come on hendry:50:

    Defending champion Neil Robertson is out.. beaten 10-8 by Judd Trump..

    Yer man Mark Allen will go close this year... Him or Selby to win it I'd say..

    As long as Hendry goes out I'll be happy. Poor defence from Robertson. Selby is my guess for this years champion.

    I hope Judd Trump lifts the title. He is a phenomenal talent.

    Robertson actually played pretty well against him, but Trump was more audacious: he took the risks, and he had the skill & the steel to make them come off. :50:
