Yeah Ashton is stupidly overrated I think. See her around 9/4 while I would say realistically she should be around 5/1 IMO

I'm looking forward to seeing how the international qualifiers compare to the Pro Tour rank and file in a reasonably long match format.

Leaving out the 8 qualifiers with tour cards (Burness, Burton, Hunt, Kirk, Lam, Marijanovic, Petersen, Rodriguez) and the 3 who qualified through domestic tours (Evetts, Harris, Nentjes), I wonder how many wins from the other 21 would constitute a good showing...

My feeble guess:

Nitin Kumar v Jeffrey de Zwaan
Lisa Ashton v Jan Dekker
Jose De Sousa v Michael Barnard
Raymond Smith v Alan Tabern
Boris Koltsov v Chris Dobey
Jim Long v Mickey Mansell
Jeff Smith v Josh Payne
Craig Ross v Toni Alcinas
Karel Sedlacek v Keegan Brown
Yordi Meeuwisse v William O’Connor
Yuanjun Liu v Brendan Dolan
Darius Labanauskas v Matthew Edgar
Paul Lim v Ross Smith
Lourence Ilagan v Vincent van der Voort
Anastasia Dobromyslova v Ryan Joyce
Daniel Larsson v Robert Thornton
Seigo Asada v Krzysztof Ratajski
James Bailey v Steve Lennon
Diogo Portela v Ron Meulenkamp
Chuck Puleo v Dimitri Van den Bergh
Noel Malicdem v Jeffrey de Graaf

Agree with those, even though I'm not sure Ilagan can keep up with VVDV. From the others I would say Jeff Smith and Larsson got a decent chance

Malicdem has thrown some really good stuff on the Asian Tour as well, little stage experience that I know of, but he has a decent first round draw, I'd say he has a good chance against de Graaf

There's bound to be a shock somewhere as well, plenty of players who are good enough on their day to punish a tour player who dips below their best

I think Portela may have a shot over Meulenkamp.

Nobody mentioning Sedlacek over Brown though?

Lennon has got to fancy his chances against Norris and so has Keegan against Jelle.
Vvdv could turn over Darren Webster if he gets past Ilagan.

Brown is inconsistent indeed but he did have some decent perfomances at the Grand Slam. We haven't seen much of Sedlacek honestly and I think Brown will be too much for him, even though I'd love to see the Czech win personally.

As for Portela, sadly I don't think he's anything more than an above-average Challenge Tour player at present. Only been playing the tour for a short time so I think he may improve but at present I don't see him beating Meulenkamp. Though Ron hasn't had a good year on TV

Talksport will be covering the Worlds live from 20th December, apparently.

Probably not a coincidience that this is the day after Round 1 is completed. Personally I'm tremendously interested in Round 1.

Bring that on. This year I'm pretty confident about the Flying Scotsman's chances....
