  • Excellent 147 from Marc Allen, glad he'll take something out of the match presuming Chris Wakelin wraps it up. Have really enjoyed watching Chris come up through the ranks last couple of years. Seems like a nice guy, and is only 33 so plenty of time left to pick up some titles

    • With Selby out O'Sullivan must be fancying his chances. If he gets an eighth it'll be one of the greatest sporting achievements full stop I grant you that. However it will slightly coloured by how easy his route to the final is going to play - it's not until the final it looks like he'll face serious opposition - just have a look at his potential opponents. Nothing to scare him there until the final.

      L16 - Pang Junxu
      QF - Si Jiahui / Ben Woollaston
      SF - Lei Peifan / Zhao Xintong / Mark Allen / Chris Wakelin
      F - John Higgins / Xiao Goudong / Hossein Vafei / Mark Williams / Luca Brecel / Ding Junhui / Shaun Murphy / Judd Trump

      • I like this idea from Mark Williams, cheeky, nearly pulled it off as well.

        All of us, glorious parts of the whole!

          On normal pockets that would have worked.

            Yes, very probably.

            • Xiao hedging his bets a bit too much there, on the snooker and twice on the black, you've gotta break eggs sometimes Mr Cueman.

              • Frame 12 Higgins v Xiao, once this happens, you just know we're in for a fun finish.

                It's amazing isn't it, that one shot so nearly cost John the frame, but instead, gives Xiao the chance he needs, as well as a possible lifeline for John, which in the end played a big part in him winning it.
                Only snooker can do this.

                • JV having it both ways, he says the blacks in an ideal spot to lay snookers then calls Higgins snooker ' genius '.

                  Oh well, again Xiao son you asked for this.

                    • How do players blank out sniggers from the crowd, that are clearly a result of something that’s been said in the commentary box? Plays a terrible shot, then there’s a brief pause before a laugh ripples through the crowd. The poor player must be wondering what’s been said.
