The qualifying event at Prestatyn for Snookers China Open 2009 is now over.
Looking at the results, we see that some former Top 16 players will not be heading for China. They include Steve Davis, Ken Doherty and Matthew Stevens.
Steve Davis lost 5-2 to Stuart Pettman. Davis could only manage a high break of 54, while Pettman had highs of 109 and 99.
Ken Doherty got hammered 5-0 by rising star Judd Trump. It seems hard to believe that Doherty was ranked number 1 only a few seasons ago. Trump had high breaks of 62 and 60.
Matthew Stevens lost a close match by 5-4 to Rod Lawler. Lawler’s high breaks were 70, 70 and 62.
Meanwhile, there were good wins for other former Top 16 players. Nigel Bond, Stephen Lee, John Parrott and Mark Williams all go to China.
The China Open will be from 30th March to 5th April 2009.
