The Rothmans Grand Prix
Willie Thorne v Warren King Les Dodd v Mike Hallett Willie Thorne is one of snooker's most attractive players, though he often finds it difficult to win matches in the early stages of major tournaments.
Warren King is more than capable of upsetting the World's seventh-ranked player in this first-round match.
Les Dodd, ranked 69, has already defeated Kirk Stevens to qualify at the Hexagon, and a close encounter with the experienced Mike Hallett is likely.
