Hossein Vafaei

[Medzdidz]

Tough first round match for him against Judd Trump. Any match is tough though as there is only 32 players in the competition now.
Just saw that his World Ranking is now 18 , having a great season so far. I wonder how much coverage he gets back in Iran?

When is his first match?

[Medzdidz]

His match is scheduled for Wednesday at 14.30 GMT.

Good luck to him. At this level, he's in the World Cup of Snooker and anything is possible!

I put a 50p each way bet on him to win at 80/1.

LOL, I had also put $10 on him to win the whole thing (80x odds).

Really clumsy from Hossein... He should have just kept this to himself, especially after O'Sullivan has been so complimentary towards him.

Imagine if they meet in the tournament now. They should both come in to wrestling entrance music.

You don't disrespect the GOAT like that

He might have some valid points, but he could of worded them better. Probably one the reasons he took up snooker is Ronnie.. so yeah. It's not like Ronnie hasn't done anything g at all to make the sport bigger.

Anyone watching Vafaei-Trump? Just checked the scoreboard. He was down 3-0 but now 3-1.

[diz]

Do I smell a comeback? Now 3-2

[diz]

3-3 now!

Well the seventh frame was a disaster

[diz]

Lol. Found a stream and haven’t seen Vafaei make a single point in the last two frames!
