Ferret and JJ also

Nijman had trouble getting over the line in Wolves, but if he plays anything like he does there, he won’t give Cullen a chance

[Dfc180]

I'm looking forward to Burton vs Merkx the most

You must be posting it twice

It's going to be that good I'm going to watch it twice as well

Qualifiers to win

Buntz
Gotthardt
Sosing
Merkx
Griffin
De Zwaan

[skweezit]

good draws for my americans!

stowe buntz, once past Kenny & van Barneveld,
gets to arm it out TO THE DEATH
or a race to four sets,
whichever comes first,
with the world champ luuuuuuke Humphries.

and lenny gates will bring much needed emotion and excitement against that very stoic Cameron Menzies
in their match.

it's going to be great!

[oche balboa]

I think a new thread should be started when the Schedule is out

[DeepFriedRat]

Ferret and JJ also

Jonny will hope Goto wins because if he doesn't, Mansell will be a nervy game
