Tom Ford beating Matthew Stevens is a biggy too. Last time I saw Ford he was shocking against Robertson (UK champs 2011) so I hope he doesn't let nerves get the better of him again!

It's time jimmy white and steve Davis both called it a day now I think both having to qualify they can no longer do it.

I'd have to concur with that assessment for Jimmy White too. He's likely to carry the moniker of the best player never to win the world championship (certainly among those of us unable to remember Eddie Charlton).
White hasn't really been at the top table for a long time. He has lacked the consistency to mount real challenges in ranking tournaments.
He could focus on the Seniors Tour.

You couldn't get much more of a contrast in style than that between Eddie Charlton and Jimmy White.

Another former world champion goes out and the debutant count climbs to 4:
Robert Milkins 9-10 Michael Wasley Fergal O'Brien 9-10 Robbie Williams Peter Ebdon 8-10 Robin Hull Liang Wenbo 7-10 Martin Gould Ben Woollaston 8-10 Jamie Burnett Ryan Day 10-5 Stuart Carrington Michael White 10-7 Matthew Selt Xiao Guodong 10-1 Li Yan
The matches involving Wasley and Williams both went to re-spotted blacks in the deciding frame.
At 122, Robin Hull is the lowest ranked player to qualify for this year's tournament, and I would imagine the lowest ranked for about 20 years.
In the final qualifying round, only 7 of the 16 seeded players managed to win.
The 1st round draw is later today.

Poor Robin Hull, who I believe is Finnish? And last played the crucible in 2002? And has had a hiatus from the sport for 3 years? To get Ronnie in the first round, although if he does surprise everyone then his name will be everywhere.

Even if there were 1000 players on the Tour, there isn't a member of Haven who would take a single frame off any of them.

Unless you are capable of building a break of around 80+ then your chances of winning a frame by luck will be extremely remote. Even if you can build a big enough break your chances of getting the opportunity to do so will be tiny.

It's impossible to tell most of the time. I suspect you know the definition of realist already. Cheers.
