Good evening and a warm welcome to the start of the Premier League Season. Neil Robertson and debutant Judd Trump have just started the first frame... Judd has flown out of the blocks with a frame winning century break. What a great start to his Premier League career. Wow a 139 total clearance, a fabulous break and how's that for starters! Don't blink because Robertson has already levelled. This is snooker of the highest quality. Unlucky Trump in the third, got a kick on 62 and Neil has dished. Neil secures the win with another frame winning break. Next up it's time for the Rocket to lift off in defence of his title. Well it's first blood to Marco and no fireworks from either player yet. More fluent by Ronnie now, a total clearance. Watch out Shanghai, the Rocket is firing, back to back centuries. New season, another new cue, it makes no difference. Absolutely brilliant, three tons on the bounce by Ronnie. Marco takes the last with a good break. No league next week but don't forget we'll have live coverage from Shanghai. Join us in Malvern on 17 September as Murphy, Hendry and Higgins launch their League campaigns.
