The snooker Grand Prix event gets under way today at the Preston Guild Hall. See Below for the last 32 draw
The German Masters has not even finished 24 hours before the lads head straight back on the baize to battle it out for a £100,000 prize in Preston.
The momentum appears to be with the over 40’s this season but will that trend continue this week? Anthony Hamilton just won his first ranking title at the age of 45.
Last year’s winner Judd Trump has yet to make an impact this year. Could this be the turning point of the season for the young Bristol potter?
