Please note all times are provisional and subject to change.
Much of the Eurosport coverage is on Eurosport2 because the tournament clashes with the first week of the US Open tennis from New York.
Monday’s TV matches are:
Joe Swail v Mark Davis
Fergal O’Brien v Michael Holt
Ken Doherty v Gerard Greene
This means we don’t get to see Jimmy White, who is appearing in the TV stage of a ranking event in the UK for the first time since the 2006 World Championship.
But we're sure to see the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins and Maguire as the week progresses.

Well, not in the first round... ;-)
ya!!! it mast be 1\4 with Ronny))
Dave,
I take it this means that TG4 are not covering two matches in the early part of the tournament, like the Chinese tournament didn't in the summer. (Even though, because there wasn't a divide you saw the other match.)
I know this question gets asked time-and-time again, but: why on earth can't the broadcasters put a camera on the next table...It has been done before.
Thanks, Joe
They have the facility to move cameras from table 1 to table 2 if the main match finishes early, so we may see some of the other matches as well
