Match between Ronnie and young Robertson will be a joy to watch surely, but I wont bet on it, my heart goes for young Australian, he was great against Hendry, but Ronnie, however picky he is, he still plays great and seems unstoppable.
Third match between Davis and Hamilton will be a slow one, the one that could go all the way, Davis plays some solid snooker, Hamilton knows to slow down the tempo and play safe game, so it will be a tactic battle, my vote goes to Hamilton here.
Evening match is going to be a total oposite to that, two young guys banging in the balls, Murphy and Maguire, it will be a match, where any mistake would spark a big break and it should be very attractive.
