Given the world's draw and the form they've showed in this tournament, Higgins, Selby and even Trump look better lays at the chocs than ROS and if all 4 top seeds do get to the Semis, he could well be vying for favouritism with Trump.
Am I right in thinking not all the qualifiers are even in the market yet? ![]() |

O'sullivan looks like he's in the semis already,Mc gill and Ding or Maguire to beat he couldn't have picked a better draw for himself players that he has beaten all the time..If mark allen or williams gets through he will be 6/4 tops and iff trump and robertson are out he'll be odds on.

It's very dangerous thinking like that thegiggilo until we see the full draw. Someone like A.Carter or Zhou could easily take him out in R1, and McGill is likely to trouble him in R2 should they meet. And, O'Sullivan's playing schedule this season would be a big concern for me. It is highly likely to catch up with him at Sheffield.

Won't have to worry about A.Carter anyway gobe, soon as Pang Junxu takes him out
![]() Not really sure i understand ronnies playing schedule this season though, is it "just play in everything while crowds are gone and i can enjoy the peace and quiet" sort of thing? Maybe make no difference but think i'd prefer him going in fresher anyway. |

Haha, yes that's a nasty one for The Captain, especially over 11 frames. Yes, I think O'Sullivan has basically played in everything because it has all been in the UK, behind closed doors, and he's thought he was bound to win a couple of tournaments. There have been times this season when he has looked jaded, and he hasn't enjoyed any natural breaks from competition, as he has in previous years, when there has been a tournament in China, Germany or Gibraltar etc.

I suppose he didnt play in the German this year or shootout so did skip a couple. Gibraltar too, though only cos he withdrew late after the players. And as to why he'd bother farting his way through the league or series or whatever it was, no idea on that front. Said before i think conditions helped him last year, I've no doubt he appreciated the near empty arena more than most, so won't have that factor on his side this time. Theppy was a lovely R1 draw too, a nice practice round to ease your way into the competition. A carter/mcgill combo would at least push him out of his comfort zone, take a bit out of him. So R1 draw could be quite significant i think.

He probably missed The German as you had to pre-qualify, and he won't do that any more, even if it was to played the Cat A prison that is Milton Keynes! I've got big negatives against everyone, so I have to get one badly wrong...unless it's License picking the trophy up on 3rd May
