The China Open 2018 starts on Monday, with Ronnie, Mark Selby, Ding Junhui and Liang Wenbo all in action, playing their last 128 match, held over to the venue.
WSS Services have been hard at work to get the venue ready
Ronnie is already in China, and did an exhibition in Zhangjiagang city. This was reported on weibo, and, if I understand the post correctly he was in high scoring mood but didn’t make a 147; 140 was the HB on the day!
Ronnie O'Sullivan 
If Ronnie’s season-long pattern continues, he should lose somewhere around the quarterfinals in China before going on to win the WC. I could live with that…
Hehe
Anyway I think this is the worst tournament for Ronnie if I mention that he fails to reach the last 4 since 2007.
(And just 2 quarter-finals since 2007).
Good luck to you Ronnie!!!
