Who will become Snooker World Champion this year? Ronnie O`Sullivan is out, lost his match vs. Barry Hawkins. Will it be John Higgins? Or will this year an asiatic champion be crowned? Marco Fu plays a good match while Barry Hawkins seems like he has forgotten how to use a cue properly. Or will the champion be Ding Junhui?

After the first session, the standing is 5 - 3 for John Higgins vs. Alan McManus.
It will be interesting, if Mark Selby can save his butt in the match vs. Kyren Wilson, or if Kyren will continue to win the frames.
