Big shock already today World number 3 Ding Junhui was 5-1 against world number 130 Leo.Fernandez Leo Fernandez won 6-5
And that was his first win since the Welsh Open against Kyren Wilson in Feb 2016
Blimey, wonder what the odds of a fernandez win were in play!
At one stage he was 1000/1
That sounds like bull Paulie, hate to call you out but i bet on snooker and look at odds alot, if someone is that much an underdog i would suggest he was 20-1 at start, cannot see it ever getting to 1000/1 although he is probably one of the worst players on tour it still wouldn't ever get that long for a one off game.
Pretty disappointing coverage so far only on eurosport online, will get more into it when it gets on BBC/ Eurosport, i have been following results and pretty predictable for now other than Ding. Ronnie this eve
