As was the case a year ago, twelve players will be contesting the competition over at the Wuxi City Sports Park Stadium and heading the field will be last season’s finalists, Ding Junhui and Shaun Murphy. Also seeded through to the second round are potential World Cup pairing Mark Selby and Ali Carter.
Entering a day earlier meanwhile will be former world champions Graeme Dott and Peter Ebdon, as well as fellow top 16 players Matthew Stevens and Stephen Maguire. There is also a valuable opportunity for tour newcomers Yu Delu and Cao Yupeng to pit their wits against some top players, while Liang Wenbo will be hoping to begin the season with a positive result following the struggles that he experienced during 2010/11.
The tournament will run between the 7th-10th July 2011.
