Ronnie wont win, I think he got a let off against Campbell and his game is no where near good enough to win this year.

I do think Selby or Robertson will win.

How did he get a let-off against Campbell? He was dominating throughout and hit seven 60+ breaks....

Sure he played well, But if that was against any player like Selby or Robertson, they would of punished him more than Campbell..

Like Hendry said, Capmbell could of been 4, 5-1 up.. Yet he messed up, I can tell you, Any top 8 player would of won that much

Ronnie probably only did what he had to to go through im sure if he needed too up his game he would of done but it wasnt required that match.. he is still the player to beat i feel to win the tourney, we have to remember that he aint played competitive snooker for months so 7 60+ breaks in first round of world champs is good..

The Dott vs Ebdon game is the worst game yet lol

I like ding just his record in the world championship is awful

5 people I think can win it

O'Sullivan: Regining champion and break can be good for him

Robertson: Won last 2 tournaments

Selby: Could win the triple crown done great in the majors

Murphy: Been doing well in most tornements and has not won one yet this year. This Could be his

Higgins: Never rule him out.

Other possible contenders.

Ding: doudt he will do well but never no could be his year

Carter: Last years runner up been runner up twice.

Trump: Still a great player. Could win it.

My opinion!!

Who I think will win it: Selby

the second top 16 player is out
first Mark williams now is John higgins out
Mark Davis played very well

You can never go against O'Sullivan with the natural ability that he has, but he has played one competitive match in a year and it really did show against Campbell. I think the occasion and opponent affected Campbell - as soon as Ronnie comes up against one of the big boys he'll struggle, and we all know what happens to that psychopath when he starts to struggle....

lmfao ^^ psychopath what a word

I think Ronnie will quit again.

Still think he will win it

Anyone see Poomjangs pink to the top pocket lmao?

( I know i spelt his name wrong )

Selby wont win in my view he only just scraped through the UK Championship and played badly in the first session with a highest break of 46.

out of those in Round 1, Mark Davis impressed me the most followed by Carter, Ding, King, Ronnie (not vintage Ronnie though). that poomayeng also made me laugh good stuff

i think from what i saw the first round so far murphy - trump will be the final

Ronnie has a very good chance now to win it for a 2nd year in a row

Higgins, Williams, Maguire, Allen are all out.

Anyone see Dominic Dale do a me on 96? .

yes what a clown

Not you by the way! Dale!

Oooh Robertson

Another one bites the dust!

Murphy playing great at the moment
