Snooker 2025

[Facecloth]

All Leicester tie for Selby v Woollaston.

[EastAnglianFox]

No chance Ronnie pulls out now 

[kingfox]

Said to my mother yesterday that Ronnie is bound to draw Carter  

 

Higgins vs O’Connor

Williams vs Wu

Hawkins vs Vafaei

Robertson vs Wakelin 

 

The other standouts for me. 
 

And at least the opening Sunday morning will be worth getting up for, as Zhao has drawn Jak Jones. 

[RowlattsFox]

Yuelong can potentially be tough for Trump.

[kingfox]

The last time Mark Allen met Fan Zhengyi at the Crucible 

[isaidno]

O'Sullivan vs Carter will be tasty.

[The Bear]

Gilbert gets Si Jiahui on Monday and Tuesday night, which is tough but still a decent draw all things considered. Has Selby in the next round if he wins though. 

[The Bear]

Kyren Wilson (1) v Lei Peifan

Jak Jones (16) v Zhao Xintong

Neil Robertson (9) v Chris Wakelin

Mark Allen (8) v Fan Zhengyi

-------

Ronnie O'Sullivan (5) v Ali Carter

Zhang Anda (12) v Pang Junxu

Si Jiahui (13) v David Gilbert

Mark Selby (4) v Ben Woollaston

-------

John Higgins (3) v Joe O'Connor

Xiao Guodong (14) v Matthew Selt

Barry Hawkins (11) v Hossein Vafaei

Mark Williams (6) v Wu Yize

-------

Luca Brecel (7) v Ryan Day

Ding Junhui (10) v Zak Surety

Shaun Murphy (15) v Daniel Wells

Judd Trump (2) v Zhou Yuelong

 

 

Can't see many upsets but I reckon Carter will grind down Ronnie. And Brecel is bobbins nowadays.

 

Wakelin has had a good season but I think Robertson is back to good enough form to beat him. Could be a tight one though.

[Noahfence]

I’ve got Selby winning it

[isaidno]

Wilson in a lot of trouble. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Big trouble now 

 

Wilson and possibly Robertson heading out early doors is massive for the others fancied.

 

 

[Lionator]

Selby will be happy with Wilson out. One of the only others that could beat him at his game. Probably a good chance of our first Chinese world champion 

[Bert]

Wilson looks like a sad puppy at the best of times, even more so now

May have gone early with this 

[EastAnglianFox]

Wtf is this guy doing 

[kingfox]

A final frame decider on the opening day, love it! 

[The Bear]

Cheerio Kyren. 

[kingfox]

Well, we’ve just seen why Lei Peifan is a ranking event winner. 
 

That pesky Crucible curse strikes again. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Not Kyren’s biggest fan but to interview less than a minute after losing that is very classy

[kingfox]

This went well.

 

[kingfox]

Hawkins vs Vafaei into a decider

Wakelin 9-8 up on Robertson 

 

This has been a sensational night of Snooker.

[Super_horns]

Few seeds struggling early on .

[EastAnglianFox]

See ya Robbo

 

Id say he looked tired, but he always does.

 

Cracking first couple of days this, long may it continue.

 

Any reason why Selby is last to play on Wednesday when he wasn’t last to be drawn?

 

[kingfox]

What a dramatic first two nights of Snooker, that last frame of Wakelin vs Robertson was chaos.

The format/schedule got released a week before the draw was made 👍🏻

[Nalis]

Feels like a wide open draw.
