    Williams and Higgins is the one match that I thought might be good, the other matches it seems they put the top 16 against the lesser-known ones. A lot can happen in one frame - it's definitely not guaranteed that the higher ranked players will win, although they can obviously deal with the pressure a lot better so they have that advantage.

    Great to see Drago back ;)
