Either way, somebody of Davis' profile would no doubt have a very busy schedule.<br /><br />I don't see it as a bad thing that a good few top players have not entered.<br /><br />It gives the lower ranked players an opportunity to pick up points that they might not otherwise have.<br /><br />Two players non entry though, does surprise me. Ken Doherty and Liang Wenbo, both just inside the top 32 and 16 respectively, might be squeezed out provisionally and will be playing their next match on the back foot.KILDARE CUEMANnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-13265677320818748222010-06-15T22:26:28.476+01:002010-06-15T22:26:28.476+01:00Wattanas on the tour this season as he was among t...Wattanas on the tour this season as he was among the top 8 on the 1 year list of these outwith the top 64.<br /><br />Im chuffed to see Figuerido get on the tour, its a cracking story the way his career has gone and it would be great to see him rise up the rankings.<br /><br />Einsle deserves a chance IMO, when he was previously on tour as a teenager and under the old ranking system it was nigh on impossible for tour newcomers to survive.<br /><br />Anymore word on whether Brecel may be fast tracked onto the tour for this season?Witz78noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-59467719079641658672010-06-15T19:37:07.525+01:002010-06-15T19:37:07.525+01:00I think Wattana has survived courtesy of the one-y...I think Wattana has survived courtesy of the one-year list.<br /><br />Regarding Einsle, he was only something like 19 when he had his debut season, and is he really going to be any worse than the likes of the Northern Ireland no. 1, or the Asian wildcard Nomination?John Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-25850331626539420172010-06-15T18:51:49.663+01:002010-06-15T18:51:49.663+01:00I said 66 as John Parrott is retired, I know Watta...I said 66 as John Parrott is retired, I know Wattana is 68, but I was wondering if he would qualify off the order of merit?jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-63298370469489355192010-06-15T17:53:28.398+01:002010-06-15T17:53:28.398+01:00dont agree with einsle wildcard he is simply not g...dont agree with einsle wildcard he is simply not good enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-31895097730357177782010-06-15T17:30:24.474+01:002010-06-15T17:30:24.474+01:00So is James Wattana still on the tour?
