With the 2010/11 season approaching it looks like it will be only a matter of days until the 96 players who will compete on the tour are confirmed as World Snooker have in the last few days confirmed that both Igor Figueiredo and Patrick Einsle have been handed wildcards. For the latest on the 96, please click here to view my roll call page.

As an aside, unfortunately due to technical issues, or more specifically my computer being completely dead (borrowing someone else’s for this post), updates are going to be sporadic until I am able to have it repaired so apologies in advance!

It will be fascinating to see how Reanne fares in the top flight and hopefully her presence will help to boost the state of the womens game and attract more people to the game. More will follow on this story following the conclusion of the World Championship.
