The UK Championship Draw has been made

If anybody is interested.

Judd will play David Lilley in his first match for two tournaments running.

Ronnie plays Michael White.

John Higgins plays Michael Georgiou.

Barry Hawkins gets a quick rematch against Reanne Evans.

Ali Carter plays Jimmy White.

Ding plays compatriot Zhang Anda.

Mark Selby gets Ross Muir.

Theppy lad is playing Stephen Hendry.


Actually, some interesting matches there.

Interestingly enough, Hendry and Theppy clashes with Ronnie O'Sullivan. Obviously, Ronnie will be the marquee television match. I would've thought they'd have put Hendry and Theppy on at a time where it could've been on Table 1.

Yes, I know it'll be on the App. Yes, I know I should get myself into the 20th Century.

Selby plays Muir on the Wednesday afternoon.

Clashes with the Mark Williams vs Lei Peifan match, Hendry vs Reanne and Ding vs Zhang Andha. That's by far the least interesting match of the four, but will probably get him on Table 1 due to being World Champion. (Though you can argue that Mark Willams is the weaker match. But I suspect more people would be interested in the Mark Williams match.)

i think he means why did marco fu ask for an invitational tour card for this season, but has so far not entered any events (similar to hendry for most of last year).

probably he wanted to have the option to partake, but the ongoing pandemic situation means that is not yet the case.

You read wrong.

Eurosport is showing the last 128 on their main channel.

How many days annual leave do you get? I swear you must have already taken 50 days lol.


You're joking. I've had like three days off since the beginning of May.
