Yet to make an impression on the latter stages of any tournament on the tour, it's hard to see Pettman doing well here.

Qualified with decent wins over Shaun Murphy and Marco Fu, but such back-to-back successes have been rare.

His reward is a first-round clash with second seed Stephen Hendry.

Was well beaten by Mark Williams on his Crucible debut 12 months ago, going down 10-2.

Will hope to retain more pride in this year's event.
