Must be John Higgins back in 2011.

No way

What's the process for allocating qualifiers to 1st round opponents?

Pretty crazy stat considering Scotland had the dream team in 1996 of Hendry, Higgins and McManus.

Also Dott and Maguire won Triple Crowns too.

There isn't... Like the FA Cup... Judd Trump will play... Neil Robertson... 😉

It is amazing that.

Btw the Beeb haven't managed to lure Angles back have they?
He's better than the rest of them put together!

6 of the 8 QR4 matches are at 6-5, and another one at 6-4.

77 break from Jack and he wins 10-3

That's a real shame.

First round draw is 8.45 Thursday morning

Probably my favourite commentator/summariser/pundit of any sport in this era. Can't think of anyone else.

He's not mine, he's very knowledgeable, but a bit dramatic, I like Foulds, Hendon, Stephen Hendry

Me too....

I thought Dominic was retiring? Well played to him

Walden wins 10-9.

Bingham, Maguire and Lisowski all through, going to be some tasty first rounders.

Is the 1st round draw being shown anywhere?
