The seventeenth Players Championship tournament of the season gets underway from 1 p.m. in Milton Keynes. The field of participants consists of 128 players, including many of the sport's top names.
Remarkably, Mike de Decker and Ricky Evans were paired together in the draw. De Decker won Players Championship 16 on Thursday by defeating Evans of all people in the final. So Friday afternoon is an immediate rematch and chance for revenge for 'Rapid Ricky'.
