Jimmy White gets a bye into the 2nd round with a walkover over Martin Gould. This will be Jimmy White's 45th World Championship he has played in every one since 1980, I think this breaks the record of Fred Davis. If anyone finds any free links or websites to live streaming for the World Championship qualifiers please share and I will do the same.

After getting a bye through the first qualifying Jimmy White will be starting his campaign to reach the world championship for the first time since 2006 at 14:30 this afternoon - against Liu Hungyo - a 19 year old on his first year on tour - he reached the Semi Final of English Open earlier this season.

Jimmy has played well, Liam has had some chances.

I don't know what the stats are including qualifiers. However for the 'main draw' (including the challenge era) Fred Davis appeared in 31 tournaments, as O'Sullivan has qualified for this years tournament via Top 16 seeding he'll break that record with a 32nd appearance.

Jimmy White has 25 appearances. Including the 2024 tournament for the 16 seeds in this years tournament it stands at

Ronnie O'Sullivan - 32
Fred Davis - 31
John Higgins - 30
Steve Davis - 30
John Pulman - 28
Stephen Hendry - 27
Mark Williams - 26
Jimmy White - 25
Peter Ebdon - 24
John Parrot - 23
Eddie Charlton - 22
Rex Williams - 22
Shaun Murphy - 22
Alan McManus - 21
Dennis Taylor - 21
Ali Carter - 20
Graeme Dott - 20
Mark Selby - 20
Stephen Maguire - 20

I'll update this once we know the 16 qualifiers as some of those on that list are in the qualifiers.

Jimmy White was eventually beaten by Liu Hongyu in the second qualifying round. Lots more matches to go until we get our 16 qualifiers!

Indeed - the real fun starts tomorrow morning when the higher ranked seeds join in the race.

On who do you think will when - I reckon it's Ronnie's year - after the season he had it would only be appropriate to cap it off with an 8th world championship win.

But I went with Selby last year and he lost in the final so we'll see.

Interestingly a couple of the pundits on Dave Hendon's Snooker Scene plumped for Trump as well.

When asked for their outside shot, one picked Brecel and the other two Gary Wilson.

Elsewhere O'Sullivan's in the press bashing the crucible as a venue again.

Well done to him! Wonder if he can make an impact further on in the competition?

He's got a winnable but tough match against Jackson Page to qualify - so he might not even make it. If he overcomes that he might have a shot at the second round depending on who he draws. He's first turned pro in 2010 and his best performance came this season where he lost to Gary Wilson in the Scottish Open final - to date Noppon's only final. I definitely wouldn't see him as one to go deep in the Worlds.
