Dominic pleasantly pleases on this tournament. And hope this lasts and further on move of the tournament.

Another 6-0 looks likely for the Pastry Cook at the moment

John Higgins - Ryan Day 4-2
the best news of this week so far...at the start of this tournament i didn't give him many chances but now...John's chances to qualify had changed

keep on the good work John

I would like to see John Higgins qualify. Having said that, Ryan Day is a very promising player in my opinion. When he is on, he is totally amazing. Too bad he was missing some shots. I though he might stage a comeback when Higgins missed after that 60+ run.

[toupihiggins]

ye..i feared about a possible comeback at 3-0 but lucky that didn't happen...i agree with you,Day it's a very good young player and i would put him side to side with Mark Allen/Jamie Cope/Tom Ford which are all them having great talent.

As many people said....nowadays it's very hard to win a tournament with all those new young players

[The Boss]

Day is 27, so he's not that young. He's reached 2 ranking finals but i can't see him winning one

Thank god Dott ended his 10 match losing streak. For me Graeme needs to slow down. Today he rushed a lot of safety shots which he luckily got away with and his break off shots were awful.

Breakoff shots were awful indeed. But apart from that, he played well and I am hoping the win comes very soon

Dott has been doing a lot of experimenting with break offs this past year or so.....doesnt look like its helped much, if at all

Hopefully he is saving his wins for the World Championships.

well during Masters I didn't see they were so bad as today... hope that he and coach will sort it out

Ding is giving me a solid impression those last few months - we all knew he is a fantastic player but to me it seems his attitude has somehow changed for the good and his playing tactically and defensively - when necessary - on a high standard. I really have to change my opinion about him - I think he will go very far in Sheffield as well.

I had the same thought aswell today. His shot selection has improved a lot this season and he does have a favourable draw. However at 8/1 it isn't really worth it.
