Who looks on form so far?

As the first round draws to a close I think it's fair to say that the matches so far have been of varied quality... Some merely sorting "the wheat from the chaff" as in-form players swept away those who didn't find their feet on the day like the 10:2 victory of Ronnie O'Sullivan over Dominic Day.

The low point so far must be the grinding battle between Rory McLeod and Ricky Walden which saw spectators leaving the arena as it was getting late, but the draw did throw in some very juicy matches, like the unpredictable battle between two of the top current performers, Judd Trump and Neil Robertson.

Indeed, fans of Judd Trump must be quietly pleased with the outlook as the second round (last 16) draw takes shape with no Higgins or O'Sullivan in his half of the draw - some say he's still too young to win the World Championship?

We'll see!
