Marco v Barry looks to be a good game, and it'll be interesting to see if Selby can continue where he left off at the English. Angles looks to have a tough match against Smurph, so hopefully that'll go his way.

There's lots of snooker between 28th October and Christmas. One of my favourite parts of the season.

Was it just me, or was the Snooker this summer even more sparse than usual? It feels like not much has happened since May.

No, I know what you mean.
There has been some tournaments already, but there seemed to be bigger gaps between them.

Seriously though, absolutely gutted that I won't be going to this. Apparently leaving my better half on her own for the week to look after the kids while I go to watch snooker is 'incredibly selfish'

Haven't seen any live snooker since the international championships was in Chengdu (yes, I was the spectator at those matches)

I get the feeling Ding cares more about spending time with his young family now than his snooker career, if I'm honest.

Form is temporary class is permanent. No reason Ding can’t return to form like Robertson, Murphy and Selby did

Selby is playing this week, in Haining, which is about 2 hours by train from Yushan. Also playing in this strong Pro-am are Bingham, Walden, Davis, Hawkins, Thepchaiya, and many Chinese pros.
Last year Selby beat Li Hang in the final, and there were two live streams on the CBSA website.
