Selby V King
The Master from Leicester!
What a year it has been for last finalist.
He has picked up his first ranking title in Wales, and landed the second biggest prize in the game at Wembley.
As a result The Jester From Leicester has become one of the hardest men to beat on the circuit, and is the bookies second favourite to go one better than last year.
King, has been around forever though and what he may lack in ability and current form, he more than makes up for in sheer determination and guts.
If he gets the chance to cause an upset he won't back away, we are just not sure if he will get that chance.
Likely to be "smiliest" match of the round, between two of the 'happiest' players on Tour.
