ROS hopes Holt can convert his 8-4 lead against Slessor...

Is there any that chance I'll be able to stream Lisowski's second session?

you never know
only Miah v Maguire is listed as TV table so far

It seems, Michael Mann pulled out after first session of his match with Ryan Day, at least according to live scores. Some surprises already, Bingtao out and Martin Gould trailing 2-9.

Mann- yes I saw the score and wondered what had happened.

If it is correct about Mitchell awarding the match to Ryan after trailing 8-1 after the first session will they show another of the evening's final matches on the live streaming service.

he does that quite a lot, i wonder if it's because he aims so low on the cue ball, or his timings out sometimes for whatever reason, seems to happen too often to be just a dud tip.

Yes to cueing low, but that chalk.....

"Jimmy has played careless to get into this position" And I thought the improper use of adverbs was a more recent phenomenon among sport commentators. Things weren't any different 30 years ago.

Don't get me started on the death of the adverb

[blahblah01]

Jim should be 5-4 ahead seemed like another miscue on black at start of final frame, but right in this match, come on jim

He's using Taom?

Yep, Taom that claims to eliminate miscues lol, in reality it's increased them.

I was being kinda rhetorical, lol: but I thought it reduced kicks but caused more miscues

Lovely clearance from Tian to take the match, the little cannons on the 10th and 15th reds were delicious, wish I'd been able to watch it all now.

Yan Bingtao out in a final frame decider to Tian Pengfei, also good win for Matthew Stevens a 10-9 winner over Yuan Sijun. Matthew Stevens the twice finalist will now play Ken Doherty the 1997 World champion for a place at the crucible the head to head record is 9 wins each plus a draw could be a close contest between two veterans of the game. I do hope they show it on the live stream broadcast.

Tian through. Will play Wakelin. Great opportunity for both of them. Great clearance by Tian in the decider. I think his ranking should be higher. Major underachiever IMO.
