Embassy World Professional Snooker Championship
Cliff Thorburn , the number 3 seed, is expected by many to fight his way to the final this year, and after his successful season so far he has the confidence to win his second world title. He is expected to beat Bill Werbeniuk tonight. DENNIS TAYLOR was also expected to begin his second match in defence of his title - probably against JOE JOHNSON.
DAVID VINE expects to introduce highlights of both matches from Sheffield.
