i didn't watch it but how the hell did he lose that?

Seems to be a feature with the Chinese lads, when they down and out they come out swinging and start banging in frame after frame of one visit clear ups. Wu at the English springs to mind.

Ali Carter tried similar last night but doesn't quite have it

I went to his local club a few years ago but wasn't allowed to play on ' his ' star table there.

He had bought and installed the table he won the 2015 wc in his house as well.

He was on a max and was put off on the 14th black by some knob of a photograher, missed it and never got his focus back, plus Zhang went up several notches to his regular form, got a crucial fluke and good run of the balls in the decider. Swings and roundabouts mate, you can't predict this game.

Well done Hitman for a fantastic come back to get through to first QF in 25 years apparently

Yes gutsy long red into the green pocket 3 - 5 down, if he missed he was out.

I think just Kyren the Kettering Ferrari between him and 50k pounds and ranking points.

I don’t know what’s going on with me in my old age, but these days I get more pleasure watching certain players get knocked out than I do their opponents going through. Murphy and Bingham are happily gone. I’m just praying Kryten is next.

I get no pleasure seeing any snooker player losing at the top level. I do always support one player though for one reason or another, and tend to be happy they've won by the end (if they do)

Nothing interesting 😆 I just find certain players irritating to watch.

I was referring to your foreknowledge of Murphy's exit, he's playing as we speak you know. Hope your crystal balls are right though. C'mon Baz!

Well, that’s what wishful thinking does for you 😖

[snookerfollower]

That was a special session of snooker from Judd, fair play to Zhang for managing to take a few frames.

Good work Billy, keep it up. 👍

[Billy]

See! See! That’s the kind of thing I mean! Applauding your opponent. Patronising doesn’t do it justice!

[PatBlock]

Speaking of prescience.

I like Holt, don't really want to watch him getting stuffed by Kyren, but I'll keep one eye on it, just in case.

Ah it’s Gaza Wilson mate, hence my interest - possible good contest.

I've been drinking Billy's tea mate. 👽
