What did Davison interrupt Hang's break in the fifth frame for ? He wasn't at the table isn't that against the rules ?

Only the final frame decider of this match seems to be available on youtube,hope this is a technical issue and whoever's streaming these matches don't make a habit of this

In summery, there is a interesting thing in Haining Open: Higher break usually lose the match. Excluding the final, every round appeared this strange thing.:eek-new:

[DeanH]

the player who caught my eye this event was Leo Fernandez, what a run he had

If Asian Tour just only one stop this season, Leo Fernandez must come back to pro tour

[DeanH]

World Snooker not yet updated their Asian Ranking yet, but I hope his 1/4final place gives him a good rank for, as you say, a pro ticket next year

Some pro's possibly might have had difficuilty coughing up the money to attend this event,the fact that Fernandez could afford it means he's probably at least as well off as a lot of pro's anyway !!
