Higgins: Defending champion

The draw for the Betfred.com World Championship has paired defending champion John Higgins against Barry Hawkins.

However can the Scot go on to repeat his 2009 success over Shaun Murphy in Sheffield this time around or will there be a new name on the famous trophy?

Can Ronnie O'Sullivan discover his best form to secure a fourth crown, or will Stephen Hendry roll back the years for title No.8?

World No.3 Neil Robertson reached the semi-finals last time out, but can he build on that run and go all the way?

Or will a 30th appearance at the Crucible yield a seventh title for Steve Davis?

Let us know your views on who will win the World Championship via the form below...

MY money is one Mark Williams with fantastic odds of about 20 to 1. He's back to near his best and can match anyone now.

I don't think there will be many surprises this year. It's probably down to Higgins and O'Sullivan for the title. Neil Robertson's long pots and Ding Junhui's fantastic safeties will make the two of them almost impossible to beat. I'd personally love to see Steve Maguire go far as he plays at my local snooker club. I think of these players could go all the way. My wild card would probably have to be Mark Williams as I saw him play some incredible matches last year.

I love snooker and I love the World Championships, luckily I have got tickets for the second year running and will be going to watch our local snooker hero Mark Selby. It will be a good championship, O'Sullivan has a very difficult task with Wenbo, Williams and Hendry or Selby the possible players who stand in his way from glory. Mark Allen is a good bet and Ali Carter only if he can get past Jamie Cope. Selby as well but he will have some difficult tasks.
