Kelly Slater: “Mick with the Hardest Draw”

According to Kelly Slater’s round three picks, Mick Fanning will have the hardest heat draw of the title contenders, when he faces Jamie O’Brien after the Pipe Masters resumes. KS suggests that Mick will be hoping it’s Backdoor. Because if Mick loses this round, it could be all kinds of bad for his world title hopes. Though, Filipe must get past trials runner up Mason Ho. Either way, the suspense is killer. There’s a very good chance this’ll all unfold tomorrow. Round three match-ups: Heat 1: Gabriel Medina vs. Jordy SmithHeat 2: Bede Durbidge vs. Keanu Asing
Heat 3: Italo Ferreira vs. C.J. HobgoodHeat 4: Kelly Slater vs. Michel BourezHeat 5: Mick Fanning vs. Jamie O’Brien
Heat 6: John John Florence vs. Taj BurrowHeat 7: Filipe Toledo vs. Mason HoHeat 8: Joel Parkinson vs. Kai Otton
