And so is Takahashi, Okumura, Ralph Souquet, and at the earlier stage of the tournament, Parica and Ismael Paez. By the way, a Efren-Ortmann match is in the cards. That should be amazing, only my TV won't show it. Does anyone know what their record against each other is like?bandido said:So is Tony Drago, Steve Davis, Nick Vandenberg, Danny Harriman, Charlie Williams, Danny "Kid Delicious" Basavich and Taiwanese boy wonder Wu Chia Ching.

Gremlin said:Hello All,
I won't miss any of em except Charlie and Danny. Archer, Strickland and Morris are still in it so there is always a chance for the USA. Who's idea was it to have two American Players play each other in the first round? That was kind of strange even if the stats called for it? If Manola is hot he will give Busta a real hard time.

The other matches do not seem as interesting, although Majid (whom I've never seen play but only heard about) seems to be gearing up for an upset, possibly playing Chao two rounds from now.
Renegade said:I've a feeling Luat won't do so well against Hsia, given his performance in his last match against Davis (although he did win in the end). I hope efren beats ortmann and bustamante defeats his opponent so we'll all be treated to a really good game between the two filipino cueists.
That is precisely why I'll go with Kang over Luat. Don't worry though, sjm, I picked Chao over Majid, although the latter seems to be burning hot.sjm said:That a shame, Renegade, because Luat looked like the Luat of old at this year's BCA open. Sad to learn has hasn't maintained that form.
