SHANGHAI BUILD-UP


Ali Carter, Mark Allen and Mark Selby have been in China for the last week doing promotional work ahead of the Roewe Shanghai Masters.

This is an important part of being a professional in any sport and it also helps players to build their own profiles.

I wish more of it was done in the UK, although the Chinese media is rather more interested in snooker than their British counterparts.

At least Ali and the two Marks aren't going to have any problems with jetlag having got used to the time difference between the UK and China.

Smart move getting there early leaving time to adapt to the climate. Is Selby really tall or are the other two dwarfs?

Selby said as much on his latest blog, about getting used to the climate out there

The other two are indeed dwarf-like.
Selby being tall can call a waiter to order the watermelon.

the other two are a few inches shorter than average and selbz is a few inches taller than average.

is jet lag worse going or coming back?

These three have to be good bets, you might want to revise your predictions Dave!

I'll settle for being dwarf-like. I'd get Vertigo if I tried to balance on those heels!!
