Mark Selby v Noppon Saengkham
THURSDAY AUGUST 6 (1000 GMT & 1900) & FRIDAY AUGUST 7 (1430 GMT)
TV Coverage: BBC & Eurosport
World Championship draw and schedule
On what we witnessed in their respective opening matches, it is no surprise to see plenty of support for Noppon Saengkham to beat Mark Selby at around the 11/4 mark.

Saengkham belied a frustrating campaign so far when producing a fine display to beat former champion Shaun Murphy in round one, compiling eight breaks of over 50 as he cruised to a shock 10-4 victory.

In truth, Murphy was never at the races, but that shouldn't detract from Saengkham's efforts and there is no reason why this fine technician can't claim another big scalp now faced with an opponent in Selby who was a long way from his best when beating rookie Jordan Brown earlier this week.

Barring victories at the English and Scottish Opens, inconsistency has generally dogged Selby for a couple of years now and this once ultra-reliable and granite operator might not find Saengkham as forgiving as Brown was.

It's not that Selby isn't capable of producing high-class spurts of snooker that can compete with the very best in the game, it's just that he doesn't appear capable of doing it for very long anymore and I'm sure Saengkham will get plenty of chances to stamp his authority on this match.

Saengkham has already downed one former world champion this week and he might not get a better chance to beat another.

Prediction: Selby 10-13 Saengkham

Best bet: Noppon Saengkham to beat Mark Selby at 11/4

Judd Trump v Yan Bingtao
THURSDAY AUGUST 6 (1430 GMT) & FRIDAY AUGUST 7 (1000 GMT & 1900 GMT)
TV Coverage: BBC & Eurosport
World Championship draw and schedule
Reigning world champion Judd Trump was a long way from his best when labouring to a 10-8 victory over Tom Ford first up and had the latter been just that little bit more composed under pressure, he might well have been the one to progress to the second round.

As it was, Trump kept alive his hopes of breaking the famous Crucible Curse and becoming the very first first-time World Championship winner to successfully his crown the following year. On what we have seen from him this season, he could certainly be the man to defy history.

Trump is already the first man to win six ranking titles in a single season following a wonderful campaign but the more recent signs have been a little more concerning: an erratic return from lockdown in the Championship League; a tetchy showing - on and off the table - at the Tour Championship; and now his slow start in Sheffield.

Put simply, he is hard to weigh up for one so short in the betting but his opponent in the second round, Yan Bingtao, might not be the man to test his form given he has barely taken a frame off Trump in their five previous meetings.

Bingtao is a terrific prospect who has enjoyed a fine season for one so young and he ought to suited by the longer format of the World Championship. Nevertheless, he is entitled to have a few scars from Trump already and he might be powerless to prevent another defeat here.

Prediction: Trump 13-8 Bingtao

Ding Junhui v Ronnie O'Sullivan
FRIDAY AUGUST 7 (1900 GMT) & SATURDAY AUGUST 8 (1430 GMT) & SUNDAY AUGUST 9 (1900 GMT)
TV Coverage: BBC & Eurosport
World Championship draw and schedule
Ronnie O'Sullivan's clash with fellow speed machine Thepchaiya Un-Nooh was billed as the pick of the first-round ties, but it proved to be one of the most one-sided matches of the week as the Rocket blitzed his opponent in a Crucible record time of 108 minutes.

A few days later and O'Sullivan will take top billing again in the most intriguing match of round two, a mouthwatering clash with Chinese superstar and this season's UK Championship hero Ding Junhui.

Ding came out on top when the pair last met at the Crucible, in the quarter-finals back in 2017, and again in York in December, but the head-to-record is still comfortably in O'Sullivan's favour (13-5).

Strangely enough, these two giants of the game both arrived in Sheffield with questions to answer following some modest results since Christmas, but neither will be taken lightly by the rest of the field.

Ding had to work desperately hard to edge past Mark King in round one but a match like that, and being able to come through it, might have done him the world of good given he hasn't always proven the most reliable when needing to scrap and fight.

As for O'Sullivan, he looked razor sharp against Thepchaiya as he reeled off big break after big break - including two centuries. Tougher tests await if he is to be crowned champion of the world for a sixth time, and claim a record-breaking 37th ranking title in the process, but there is a feeling that the stars might just be aligning for him.

Despite being the firm fans' favourite, the absence of crowds at this year's tournament appears to have taken some of the pressure that he is forced to constantly carry off his shoulders and he has certainly appeared in good spirits in recent days.

Always good for a quote and never short of an opinion, O'Sullivan's scepticism about the event in the build up seems to have subsided and he clearly enjoyed his first match, a workout that is sure to bring him forward after a period of extended inactivity having failed to qualify for the most recent Tour Championship.

Make no mistake, he is a big player in a year that might prove his best chance of adding to his five World Championship wins already and Ding will need to be at his very best.

Sky Bet go 8/11 about O'Sullivan making three or more centuries in the match and while that won't make anyone rich, it looks fair enough given the amount of centuries scored already this week and the form the Rocket displayed in his opener.

Prediction: Ding 9-13 O'Sullivan

Best bet: Ronnie O'Sullivan to make three of more match centuries at 8/11."

"Ding Junhui v Ronnie O’Sullivan (Friday 7pm/Saturday 2.30pm/Sunday 7pm)

We come to the latest instalment of this soap opera of big stage encounters with Ding squeezing through a decider against Mark King in contrast to the mercurial Rocket who breezed past Un-Nooh in next to no time. As I alluded to in the opening sentences above it’s clear that O’Sullivan loves this set up, he can come and go as he pleases and doesn’t have to put up with all the drunks and anoraks around Crucible Square and beyond constantly shouting his name and wanting a selfie. The basic premise of this is, if he plays at the level he did in the first round it’s going to take a special performance to beat him, he did make mistakes against Un-Nooh and a better player might have got a bit closer but I’m not sure anyone would have beaten him. Their last meeting saw Ding knock Ronnie out of the UK on the way to his only tournament win of the season so Ronnie I’m sure will want to put that right.

Prediction: Ronnie 13-6."

Might be Dutch commentary though .

 

[skogstokig]

quite a few upsets and lower ranked players going deep. whether this is because of the absence of crowd or how well they've been able to practice during the pandemic is hard to say. there's still a sizeable tv audience and big money on the line so the tournament definitely isn't lacking pressure

Barry Hawkins v Neil Robertson
SATURDAY AUGUST 8 (1000 GMT & 1900) & SUNDAY AUGUST 9 (1300 GMT)
TV Coverage: BBC & Eurosport
World Championship draw and schedule
Despite boasting a Crucible record better than most, not many people would have had Barry Hawkins on their radar this year following such a quiet season.

Still, Sheffield usually brings out the best in Hawkins and he was much more like his old self when easing past Alexander Ursenbacher in round one on Wednesday.

Hawkins spoke at the conclusion of that match about how he is refreshed and excited to play again having felt 'drained' prior to the lockdown and he could push Neil Robertson hard in the battle of the left-handers.

At the time of writing, Robertson is third favourite to add to his sole World Championship win in 2010 and another strong campaign means he comes here full of confidence and seemingly well prepared having run out of steam at the quarter-finals stage last year.

Robertson will have certainly been pleased with the way in which he finished his match against Liang Wenbo, winning the last five frames in ruthless fashion, and it will surely take a strong performance to halt his bid.

Hawkins is certainly capable of doing just that, but it would be some ask to produce his best effort of the season with so little form behind him and in a match of this magnitude.

Expect Robertson to have a few too many guns for him on this occasion but this one certainly has the potential to be an engrossing watch.

Prediction: Hawkins 10-13 Robertson

Martin Gould v Kyren Wilson
SATURDAY AUGUST 8 (1000 GMT & 1900) & SUNDAY AUGUST 9 (1300 GMT)
TV Coverage: BBC & Eurosport
World Championship draw and schedule
There was probably no more impressive first-round performance than that of Martin Gould, and certainly no more impressive post-match interview. Gould first beat Stephen Maguire 10-3 courtesy of four centuries and a further five half-centuries, and then spoke about his mental health issues, how he considered quitting the game, and how more men should discuss the problems they're having.

You can only applaud the former German Masters champion who, on his 10th Crucible appearance, is through to the second round for just the third time. Never has he been beyond this stage, but if he performs as he did against Maguire, that could change.

Standing in his way is Kyren Wilson who, with due respect to Gould, couldn't have asked for much more than a first-round bye followed by a match with someone who had to play three rounds of qualifying just to get here. Of course, there's a slight risk that Wilson is rusty and that Gould is razor-sharp, but there must also be concerns that the latter has played 45 frames to get here and he was very emotional having beaten Maguire.

Wilson looks a fair price, ultimately, but it probably won't be a cakewalk and it should pay to play overs in the total frames markets. These two have clashed five times previously - Gould actually leads the head-to-head 3-2 - and each of them has been close, either going all the way or one shy of that. Should that trend continue we'd be looking at a minimum of 24 frames, and over 23.5 can be backed at around the 9/4 mark.

Of course we're over three sessions here and all their previous encounters have been over one, but remove the guesswork as to their respective levels of preparedness, and you've a Crucible specialist against a bang in-form qualifier who has always had ability, and seems to be back in love with the sport - and his new glasses.

Everything points towards a close game and while Wilson gets the vote to win it, we'll just lower the threshold and make over 22.5 the bet at 13/10.

Prediction: Gould 11-13 Wilson

Best bet: Over 22.5 frames at 13/10
