Swail V Wenbo
The Cuefacts never lie, or is that the camera? Well anyway, we called in Liang's win over Doherty in the first round and we don't think he is done yet.
Swail is an awkward customer though. The Crucible brings out the bes in the Irishman and he turned many a poor season into a decent one with an extended run in Sheffield.
Not this time though, Wenbo looks the real deal to us. He has played over 250 frames this season and made a 50-plus break in virtually every other one. With seven against Doherty in 15 frames, he continued that average and that is likely to be key against The Outlaw.
Swail has struggled with his scoring all season and is yet tomake his first century. He will need to find his beak-building in order to stop Wenbo progressing further.
