2018 Mosconi Cup - Viewer's Choice Match

For those who don't like to click on random links, here is the start of the press release:

For the first time fans watching this year’s partypoker Mosconi Cup will have the power to decide which players face off in a singles match.

The players to contest the first fixture of the second day’s play on Wednesday, December 4th will be chosen by a Fans’ Choice vote, conducted at MosconiCup.com. Fans will be able to select one player from each team with the player from each team who receives the most votes going head-to-head in Wednesday’s opening match.

Thanks Bob
 
There are usually two singles matches on day 1, right? Whoever the fans pick first I assume can’t be picked last by the captains.

I have a feeling the fan pick will match up first what should have been last.

The statement says that the fan pick will have no influence on which players are eligible to play in other matches. That means that we could see two Shaw/SVB singles matches back-to-back.

I missed that. That’s an awesome prospect, especially since SVB took him 5-1 on day one last year. Exciting stuff.

This fan's choice is Mario He vs Alex Kazakis.

One thing that the US don't want is SVB versus Kazakis. Alex is the man in form at the moment. Replacing Mario with the Greek has just lengthened USA's chances even further. I just cannot see Europe needing a fourth day now.

Agreed that Alex is a very fine player. I've seen him live many times and have been impressed.
