Have the wildcards for the Shenzhen Open. So the first 4 games are in the last 96 round. A couple of new wildcards so limited form. THe other games are the held over last 64 games for the to p16 players. Then they reach the last 32 were 17 plaeyers are alreadt qualified! Will put the draw for that up on Tuesday sometime when other rounds completed.

The 4 wildcards are beaten and the remaining last 64 matches are below, today and tomorrow morning.

Trump whitewashes his young Chinese opponent and seems to have a bye to the next round as well after McGill withdraws. Williams lost to Fan Zhengyi in a decider, earlier on. Fan is missing the killer instinct. Having amazingly won a ranking event with limited previous form, my ratings have him back inside the top 32 but only 49th on official. He tends to go close in games but usually fails in the decider so a better effort from him today.

Will put the last 32 draw up tomorrow as the tournament takes shape.

My current rankings of professionals compared to the Official rankings. The difference between them have the nigher negatives as higher ranked on my ratings. Higher positives favour the world rankings.

Thise in darker green only have half a season on official rankings so artificially lower on those rankings. Orange only one and a half season, plus Highfield, Jun and of course Chang Bingyu also only one and a half seasons.

Last 32 and now everyone on the same stage. Except Judd Trump who has a bye after McGill withdraws.

Bit carnage - O'Sullivan loses to Jiang Jun, Xintong to Donaldson who needs the point to survive on tour. Walden beat Ding and Grace beat Higgins and Holt knocks out Xiao. Three shocking defeats in a row for Xiao as he slides down the rankings.

This in draw order, Trump plays the winner of Si v Wilson match.

Just to mention 3 big centuries in a row from Wakelin yesterday the highlight performance of the round.

These are the current earnings this season of the top 16. Ding and Higgins well off the pace though Higgins missed 3 events so far but still off the pace. Ding is set to drop out of the top 16 soon unless he finds some form.

Last 16 tomorrow with just 2 sessions now starting 7.00 in the morning UK time.

Top half a lot weaker than the bottom with Kyren Wilson a great chance to restore some top form. Wakelin another top performance today and should give Neil Robertson a good game. Wu Yize startiing to recover his form after the euphoria of the Crucible win. But he is in a tough half with Murphy and Slessor in great form, and then the prospect of Trump or Selby in the quarters.
