Format and Schedule of China Open

[Rane]

The result of Lee- Trump has the consequence that Selby will end the year on top of the rankings unless he loses his first round match and Trump wins the world title.

I guess this is worth to take a look later on. Can't believe the two best matches on paper for the quarters were both placed at the time when the world is still bound to sleep.
This is the main reason why I don't love Far Asia events that much.

It's good to see both Stephen's on form, anyway.
And deep in my heart, I didn't want Ronnie to push himself too hard as I fear for his health condition at the moment far more than his snooker career.

Carter and Robertson are my picks for the afternoon. I guess both will be games with almost zero fluency, at least, in terms of my expectations.

RONNIE LOST but HOW

Too be Honest he Took it on the Chin like a Man, But he should never have Lost that Match over Run the White 6-12inches on Final Red and went for Silly Cut Back to win Match should have PLAYED Safe and Snookerd Maguire as he was 33 behind with only 35 on Table!

To get a Re Spotted Black and Lose on a Fluke is Up setting but what can you do against Flukes!!....lol

I'm enjoying the battles so far
Ebdon showed some great grit there to win a frame, should count as a steal.

Yes, very nice frame that, both players keeping it tight on the last two reds. Much more fluent on the other table, first Carter making a century, then Ding winning two one-visit frames in no time. Ding is looking very good.

Yes, but I still think Ali isn't off that standard by far. He has kept his composure so far, although some mistakes from Ding has helped too.

Am I the only one that thinks Ebdon is playing at a slower pace than his own today? He's certainly struggling to build a break out there.

Feathering for a long time on every shot. But credit to him, he has battled hard to stay in the match, didn't let Robertson pull away. I think our Chinese friends are in for a midnight finish.
