Fu Drawn to Face Wattana

Sheffield: Hong Kong snooker ace Marco Fu Ka-chun will meet Thailand's James Wattana Pu Ob-orm in the opening round of the Embassy World Championship at the Crucible on April 17.

The 20-year-old Fu is playing his first season on the professional circuit and has already made a name for himself, so much so that British bookmakers had him at 40-1 to win the World Championship.
