Preview

The oddsmakers make Luo Honghao a slight favourite to defeat Robbie Williams in the first round of the Betway UK Championship and they may be right to do so.

Williams is no mug on the baize and the bookies' odds suggest the clash could be close.

However, Luo has shown enough to think he ought to be capable of dominating the table-time against his opponent.

In their only previous meeting Luo edged out Williams 10-8 in a Betfred World Championship qualifier last season.

Ronnie O'Sullivan starts his title defence with a match against Ross Bulman, who is 33-1 to upset the world number two.
