I think one round for Ronnie and he should be safe. Must be destiny for him to stay in the 16. If he gets through the rest of the season with decent performances she should get back to top 8 next year. That's unless he threatens to retire again

Ronnie's 1st round match against Marco Fu is on Wednesday afternoon. I believe the tournament is being shown on the BBC Red Button and website, BBC2 Wales and Eurosport.
Ronnie's place at the Crucible (and Stuart Bingham's) is now confirmed after Mark Davis lost to Ding this afternoon.
Steve Davis is through to the last 16 after beating Ali Carter 4-3.
So our 16 automatic qualifiers for the World Championship will be: Mark Selby Mark Williams Judd Trump Neil Robertson Shaun Murphy John Higgins (will be seeded 1 as defending champion) Stephen Maguire Graeme Dott Ding Junhui Mark Allen Martin Gould Ali Carter Matthew Stevens Stephen Lee Ronnie O'Sullivan Stuart Bingham

The players ranked 17-32 (and therefore only having to win one match to qualify for the Crucible) look set too, with only Michael Holt still capable of climbing in and he'd have to win the Welsh Open to do it: Mark Davis Ricky Walden Andrew Higginson Stephen Hendry Marco Fu Barry Hawkins Jamie Cope Marcus Campbell Joe Perry Peter Ebdon Tom Ford Dominic Dale Ryan Day Fergal O'Brien Mark King Ken Doherty
Steve Davis and Jimmy White are both in the top 48 and will be two wins away from the Crucible. Tony Drago and James Wattana are in the next batch of 16, while former Crucible semi-finalists Joe Swail and Ian McCulloch find themselves outside the top 64.
It's worth mentioning only 90 players out of a possible 99 entered the Welsh Open, with some not bothering as they have no chance of keeping their place on the Tour. It remains to be seen whether everyone will enter the World Championship.

I think it starts at 1pm. The matches in the early rounds are best of 7 (first to 4).

Awesome performance by Steve Davis and he's actually climbing the rankings after a poor season last year. Poor Ali Carter looks a finished man to me. I think he'll compete the rest of the season then pack in. He's going to lose a bucket load of points in the next cut off so he'll struggle to keep inside the top 32 unless his season picks up.
I feel sorry for Mark Davis. As soon as he's within a sniff of the 16 he chokes it.

In other news, Barry Hearn has announced plans for a revamp of the World Championship.
Under the plans, all players on the Tour would begin in the very first round, in a tennis-style 128-player draw, with no-one automatically qualifying for the televised stages.
The long format matches would remain but there will be an increased prize fund with the winner receiving £1 million.
Hearn intends to put the plans into action after the current TV contracts have expired.
