Just had a look at the draw and its been most unkind to Luca im afraid...Lawlor,McGill,Gould...tough that.
Maflin/Davis v Ebdon should be interesting too.
Here is way i see final qualifying round end up;

Day v Woolaston
Yupeng v Higginson
O Neill v Doherty
Lisowski v O Brien
Chung v Cope
Joyce v Holt
Hicks v Fu
Mcmanus v Ford
Brecel v Gould
J Robertson v M Davis
Burnett v King
Jones v Campbell
Mcleod v Perry
Burden v Dale
Maflin v Ebdon
Guodong v Milkins

Think young Jack will have his hands full with the Dubliner!

Having said that, I have not been watching the match, so I don't know if he's playing reckless shots, attacking too much, or just missing a lot.

Thanks gents. I hope Jimmy reaches the tournament and Milkins might not be unbeatable in the final qualifier because he goes for his shots and it should be an open game on who's potting better.

Isn't it unhealthy that Gilbert is such a short price against Drago, who makes a lot of careless shots but still can be unstoppable if it's his good day? I expect Tony to get a decent start in the worst case.

I backed Tony before the match, greened out already, keeping all the green on him but undecided whether not to split it 50-50 as something tells me Gilbert can't play as poorly as he did yesterday, so it should get a lot tougher for Drago.

Wide open draw could get a big priced winner this year.

O'Sullivan will not be match sharp, Trump flatters to deceive. If Robertson and Selby stutter and they are in the same half it will be tough to pick a winner.

Draw does look good for the four main contenders, especially Ronnie and Robbo. I'd be rather surprised if both of those don't make the semi-finals at least.
Report Latalomne April 15, 2013 3:15 PM BST
How can anybody make any bold predictions about Ronnie until we've at least seen him wielding a cue?!

During the China Open it was said he'd been practising with Ebdon!!

Campbell's so slow around the table I could see his style really frustrating Ronnie if the balls aren't going in.
