The draw for next month's World Grand Prix in Hong Kong has now been finalised, with a number of mouth watering first round ties, including 41-time ranking event winner and defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan taking on China's talented Si Jiahui.
The elite field is made up of the top 32 performers on this season's Johnstone's Paint One Year List. With world number one Judd Trump top of the pile, he takes on the 32nd placed Gary Wilson. World Champion Kyren Wilson is currently in 2nd spot and will cross cues with Matthew Selt, who is in 31st place.
One of the highlights of the opening round sees Johnstone's Paint Masters winner Shaun Murphy renewing his rivalry with BetVictor Welsh Open runner-up Stephen Maguire. John Higgins takes on Ali Carter, while three-time World Champion Mark Williams will face 2015 Crucible king Stuart Bingham.
This year's event will be the first time the tournament has been held outside of the UK. It takes place at Hong Kong's state of the art Kai Tak Sports Park, with a record £700,000 prize fund and a winner's cheque of £180,000. This will be the first ranking event held in Hong Kong for 35 years.
