Ronnie O'Sullivan Grand Prix Odds

The Ronnie O'Sullivan Grand Prix odds shortened considerably after he came back from a two frame deficit to defeat the young up and coming Chinese player Liang Wenbo 5-2 in the first round. O'Sullivan played some of his worst snooker in those first two frames and he really should have gone three down had it not been for Liang's inability to be ruthless when it matters.

The ‘rocket' will now play defending champion, Marco Fu and will need to be at his very best if he is to get through to the quarter final. The snooker veterans acquitted themselves well in the first round, Steve Davis won impressively against world number seven, Neil Robertson, while John Parrott also progressed with a 5-3 win over Mark King.

The Grand Prix is unlike any other tournament on the world snooker circuit, in that the draw is not governed by the seedings. Each round is drawn on a random basis meaning that any one can play anyone. The draw for the second round produced a couple of potentially excellent matches, Stephen Hendry will play John Higgins in an all Scottish affair, while two of the biggest improvers Mark Selby and Ryan Day are thrust together it what might be the match of the round. Betting has O'Sullivan at 2/1, Mark Selby 4/1, John Higgins 9/1, Ding Junhui 11/1, Ali Carter 18/1, Ryan Day 18/1, 22/1 Jamie Cope, Joe Perry, Marco Fu, 25/1 Peter Ebdon, 28/1 Stephen Hendry, 33/1 Judd Trump, 50/1 Bar.
