Ronnie O’Sullivan to face local teenager Liam Graham at Scottish Open, Judd Trump to take on Sydney Wilson

Ronnie O’Sullivan has been pulled out against Liam Graham in the draw for the Scottish Open.

O’Sullivan is often heavily favoured at whatever venue he attends, but that may be tested at the Meadowbank Sports Centre as he will face local teenager Graham.

The 19-year-old secured the first win of his professional career when beating Cao Yupeng at the British Open, and will face a huge test against the seven-time world champion next month.

Judd’s Trump’s stunning winning run came to an end at the hands of Stephen Maguire on Tuesday, but he will head to the Scottish capital on a high and will be up against Sydney Wilson.

Gary Wilson is the defending champion, and he will open the event against Elliot Slessor – with matches involving the top 16 in the world held over to the main venue.

Two-time Scottish Open winner Mark Selby will take on Sean O’Sullivan, while 2018 victor Mark Allen will play Jamie Jones.

World champion Luca Brecel will be in action against Iulian Boiko, while home favourite John Higgins will face Oliver Brown.

Jimmy White secured qualification earlier in the season, and he will await the winner of the match between Jimmy Robertson and Amaan Iqbal in round two.
