Göttingen day one thoughts

Well, after the dumpster fire that was the UK Open, we don't need to wait too long to try to start a rebuild, we've got sixteen games and the first round lineup looks pretty good. Will go, as always, with the data as short-medium-long-composite.

Gilding/Labanauskas - 81/75/73/76

Doets/Masalin - Insufficient data on Masalin (by one leg lol)

Evans/Preis - Insufficient data on Preis

Zonneveld/Barry - 70/71/71/71

Menzies/Krohne - 71 (only long data on Krohne)

Veenstra/Hempel - 72/57/65 (no short data on Hempel)

Ratajski/McGuirk - 71/64/65/67

Joyce/Wenig - 34/42/51/42

Chisnall/de Zwaan - 46/50/67/54

van Duijvenbode/Vandenbogaerde - 87/75/76/79

Woodhouse/Horvat - 60 (only long data on Horvat)

Gurney/Bialecki - 43/48/56/49

Cullen/Brulinski - Insufficient (no) data on Brulinski

Springer/Gotthardt - 59/59/63/60

O'Connor/Suljovic - 55/57/56/56

Nijman/Reyes - 69/67/66/67

Of those that we don't have full data on, Preis was very up and down in the quali, looking really good in some and mediocre in another, Horvat looked a fair bit off the pace, Hempel looked good in the last couple of rounds but mediocre before then, while Krohne was kind of the same as Preis, although his down games he won 6-0 anyway so may have been foot off the pedal types of things. Masalin picked things up in the final game but was more or less 80's apart from that, while Brulinski beat some big names but only broke 85 in the single match. Markets are just coming up so will look at actual bets in a tad. Couple of lines to note - Wenig is legitimately at around the same stats as Joyce who seems to have come off the boil of late, Gilding does have a little bit of an inconsistency disadvantage over Labanauskas but there is a solid statistical differential, while the inverse can be said of Gurney and Bialecki.
