Monday sees the start of the season's second ranking event, The Shanghai Masters.Last year it was won by Dominic Dale (pictured) but I think everyone knows that he probably won't do it again.
Monday is the Wild Card Round. A Qualifier v A Young Chinese hopeful. These include Xiao Gudong who has won two tournaments already in the Pontin's Series. It'll be a case of young v old when he takes on Jimmy White.
It'll be interesting if that'll be the match on Eurosport, or if it'll be Judd Trump, who plays (try and pronounce this!) A Bu La Jiang. Also playing are Anthony Hamilton and Ricky Walden.
Liang Wenbo, China's new star (he's just got Ronnie in the First Round of The Grand Prix) plays Attahasit Mahithi in a Third Round Qualifying match with the possibility of playing Mark Allen on Tuesday at 3am BST in the Fourth Qualifying Round, Mark replaces Dominic as a qualifier as Dale qualifies as last years winner.
Dominic kicks-off against Davis at the start of what should be a great tournament!
