Indeed, he had a favourable draw and a bit of help from O'Sullivan, but it's still amazing to get to a ranking quarter-final at 14. :smile:

Dale is the most successful snooker player to of never made the top 16 not an easy draw

Dale has won as many ranking tournaments as both Judd Trump and Mark Selby. And Doug Mountjoy.

Great achievement by Lu and unlikely to be matched though if China can get two 14yos in the L16 here who knows - he could win more ranking titles than Dale, Trump, Selby and Mountjoy put together before he is old enough to buy a drink in a snooker club in the UK.

Of course. Still, he could have played O'Sullivan and Dott instead. :smile:

Anyway, good start from Murphy, or poor start from Ding rather. I'm sure Murphy will be looking for a lead at the interval here.

Walk in the park for Judd so far as he storms into a 4-0 lead.

Davis again chokes in his attempt for the top 16

Lovely fightback from Ding. Great atmosphere in this match, tense silences with the occasional outburst from the crowd when Ding plays a good shot. :smile:

Mark Allen still not friends with Cao Yupeng.

Top break from Murphy under pressure. This has been a great match so far, one of the best in the tournament. :smile:

Can't forget Murphy had Maguire docked a frame for forgetting to take his chalk with him most other people would have lent him some. Standards in the game have changed.

Good day of snooker. :smile:

It's a very intriguing quarter-final lineup. I'll be watching Trump-Allen in the morning and Robertson-Lu in the afternoon. :smile:

[sberry]

The way Walden and Selby are playing their L16 game you could be watching them in the morning.
