Hope MJW wins this title.
Either him or Mavis. Mavis winning it would be fitting, given what happened last year.

Some tournaments and venues just seem to suit certain players, and Ryan most likely loves the tournament. What's not to like anyway.... brilliant venue this.

Actually no. Only a handfull of them have a venue as good as this. The rest of the venues seem pretty much the same to me. This one is special.

Ding got overawed by Leo Fernandez, let alone Higgins.

I know it's down to sponsors, but it would be great to see this get an increase in prize money with the turnout and atmosphere it generates each year.

In an ideal world I would make a big money tournament in the UK, China and Europe. UK and now the China Open have it. In Europe, I think the most ideal tournament would be this one, with a 200 000 grand top prize. Probably never happen though, but that's what I would like to see happen.

So, Walden is basically a paraplegic?
He'll still beat Ding.

Ding is one of the best at opening the reds of the blue.
And then a silly mistake.

Should snooker follow Formula One's lead, and fire the female referees?

German masters main table usually has a nice mix of players on it. Thought Judd and Perry would get the main spot tonight.
