Be a decent run to the quarters

You've got one of, if not the hardest draw you could have got lol, but good luck, I'm sure you can make it competitive at least!

A big game in the tour card race, and also a big one for French darts, it would be good if Tricole could do well and get a bit of publicity for the game over there
Potentially Tricole could take advantage of Vandenbogaerde being tense, but Vandenbogaerde might be relaxed given that's he's 50, so the worst that happens is Modus + Seniors + 2 shots at Belgian ET HNQs.

Razma, Gilding, Dirk, Kim, Bunting, Schindler, Rydz, Rock and Clemens are the ones most under threat imo, De Decker and Pietreczko would probably be favourites for their games if they can get past round 1, Clemens-van Veen is a pick 'em, Joyce, Veenstra and Woodhouse are 3 of the form players from the ProTour list, Dirk has been injured and I wouldn't put any money on Schindler to get through in the bearpit atmosphere which is sure to accompany him if he plays Fallon (which I think he will as Capy has been average and will probably wilt too)

Razma
(De Decker or Horvat)

Wright
(99.9% to be Jimbob)

Gilding
(Kist or Littler)

Dirk
(Miss Keegan or Krcmar)

Huybrechts
(Veins or Robb)

Van den Bergh
(Slevin or Hempel)

Rydz
(Pikachu or Suzuki)

The seeds in most danger imo

Should get past Joyce but Bunting is a tricky one.

I'd not be confident that Sherrock will win even if Wattimena Wattimenas.

There is certainly more pressure on Mario, although he may also be OK regardless, Radek needs to win 2 games to overtake him and Hempel plays a player who has been better than him this year

+1 on the Sherrock comments

Arch choker Wattimena followed by archer choker Uter is the dream draw.

Noppert should be the end for her if she got that far

"The up-and-coming Luke Humphries".

I'm surprised they didn't write "Former World Youth Champion".

Seniors will not give him invites and slim chance he travels to England to play shitty tour events

Dimi obviously has history with Hempel, but that version of Hempel a couple of years ago was in much better form tbf, even if Dimi himself was playing better then too

Mickey Mansell 28 Brendan Dolan
Q Zong Xiao Chen

Zong Xiao Chen should bring a bottle of baijiu as a gift for Mansell.

Potential 2nd round game Mansell v Dolan. Guaranteed weekday afternoon session scheduling for that one.
