http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?event=1267There are 119 pros and 9 amateur top-ups in the draw.
The 12 missing pros:
Neil Robertson
Ding Junhui
Liang Wenbo
Fergal O'Brien
Allan Taylor
Jamie O'Neill
Igor Figueiredo
Muhammad Asif
Victor Sarkis
Dechawat Poomjaeng
Asjad Iqbal
Mohamed Ibrahim
Stephen Hendry has entered and has drawn Mark Joyce. It's one of the easier draws he could have been given, but I think it highly unlikely he'll win.
The 4 top seeds have their qualifying matches held over to the main event:
Fan Zhengyi (1) v Michael Judge
Ronnie O'Sullivan (2) v Sean O'Sullivan
Judd Trump (3) v Noppon Saengkham
Mark Selby (4) v Yuan Sijun

not surprised by Ding and Robbo.
Hoping Ding will be back for British Open qualies (does anyone know if he will)
so no-one from Asian Q school has entered - are they having visa or funding issues?

Himanshu Jain is in the draw.
I assume it's funding issues for Asif and Iqbal.
Poomjaeng... Hard to say. I'm not convinced he's bothered about playing on the pro tour. Could be wrong though.

possible Ron vs Hendry in the 2nd round but I think Joyce will spoil the party. He is a solid player.

Why has Ding withdrawn? You'd think he'd go anywhere in the world for a ranking point at the moment.

That would be awesome but yeah Joyce is a good player on his day.
And Ronnie plays his namesake Sean O'Sullivan.

Quite the opposite. He's clearly given up on chasing ranking points.
Actually, Ding did win a tournament today in Xi'an, a teams event (with Fan Zhengyi and Mei Xiwen - a pretty strong team!). He'll be returning to the UK on 8th August.

Sounds like he's given up a bit.

Stephen is a unknown Quantity the ability is there, the question is dedication to practice that's been lacking in his so called comeback.

Let's be real here, Hendry could practice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it will not make a jot of difference. Ronnie will smash him easily.

I was referring to the possible 2nd Rd match. But yeah, let's be real, Joyce will smash him too even if Hendry practices every second of every day until they play.

Hendry's entire comeback has been a massive embarrassment. No other way to describe it.

I've not taken it seriously at all. In fact, I've had a good laugh watching Hendry trying and failing to be a professional snooker player these last couple of seasons.

Isn’t the fact that he hasn’t taken it seriously the embarrassment?
The guy supposedly came back to play at the Crucible again and then didn’t enter the Worlds because he hadn’t played enough, even though it was his choice not to play all those tournaments.
I mean, what the buck?

If you had listened, he was railroaded to take the 2 year card by Barry Hearn during a round of golf. This time hes had more time to think if he falls flat on his bottom this time it would be embarrassing.

Don’t bucking talk to me like that.
I know the story about the golf course, thanks.
It doesn’t change anything about what I said. First he wasn’t entering tournaments because there were no crowds, then he wasn’t entering tournaments because he hadn’t practised enough, then he’s not entering tournaments because he’s had no match practice. It’s become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

just convention. no conjunctions, prepositions and the like in initialisms or acronyms. like how they shouldn't be capitalised in titles of (eg) films or music.
