I think McManus is going to win this as John will probably go for everything. I hope he doesn't win because I really want to see more of Issara Kachaiwong

i wonder if doing favours would come into the game now? John is already into the next round and could let Alan win, being his countryman. Ronnie said it yesterday, he likes Fu, and did not mind losing to him.

I think the refs should get and extra £15 every time thay clean a ball!

Dan will probably kill me for saying this, but I think it would be a big shame if McManus got through and not Issara. Would be much more interesting to watch an up and coming player who happens to be in the form of his life right now than that old struggling man.

John needs to win 2 frames to guarantee top spot though so he might give 100% effort

[Alex0paul]

Could be another 147 here!!!!!

[Alex0paul]

If Alan wins he goes top of group as head to head counts before frame difference.

Not if 3 or more players are tied

I only just noticed there would be 3 players tied sorry, the post is deleted now.

[Alex0paul]

Has there been a ranking tournament with 2 147s in it?

[Lindsay]

He missed the yellow, 1-1 now.

[hegeland]

OOOH! Nearly a historical milestone passed - two max in the same tournament!

[Alex0paul]

Ding keeps is hopes alive with a 3-2 win over Mark Allen

[Alex0paul]

Ebdon beats Hamilton in a dead rubber, 3-0

[Alex0paul]

Jamie Cope knocks Michael Holt out after beating David Roe 3-2.

[Alex0paul]

Im sorry but it would be an absolute travesty if Alan McManus got through. He has played pretty poor today and the best example was the third frame where he so many chances to win it and finally did because of Higgins' lazy safety shot.

Come On John

I doubt Higgins is 100 percent up for this match, he seems having more interests in making a 147 this afternoon.

Just kidding
