The deserted Crucible

Woohoo, the 2020 snooker world championship is underway, the qualification round has started.

Watched good ol Jimmy White beat a Russian youngster tonight, hope he makes it to the Crucible Theatre.

My money is on Judd Trump, maybe he will be the first to defend his title in Sheffield, and the "Crucible curse" can finally be broken.

Of course the tournament is a closed doors event, so the special atmosphere of the venue won't play a role this year. No TV commentator whispering "You could hear a pin drop!" What a pity!
