Looks like Gerard is pushing it to the decider!! Cmon Gerry!!

[Looki]

It also looks like he's made it to the venue! Congrats Gerard!

[HunRon]

Well done, Greene. Great comeback...

[gettingbetter]

I'm rather happy for Zhang Anda/Anda Zhang. As an Australian, I do enjoy watching 'minorities' making the final stages of any tournament. It would of been good to see Hanveer there too. In saying that though, it would of also of been nice to see Walden make the top 16. He will more than likely have to wait another season.

Yes, Rory has proven a tough nut to crack of late, so all credit to Greene for getting over the line..

Wow, that was some day! First there was the fiasco with the table between Dott/Michie, then the sensational performance by Anda Zhang and finally the gruelling, but compelling twitchfest between McLeod/Greene. Thoroughly entertaining.

Got to be up for work at 7am but when I get in tomorrow I'll knock up a detailed report of those three incidents. Will update the rankings and go to bed now.

The thing with the table used by Dott/Michie is that it was the one on the far end which had not been used since Friday. They re-clothed all of the tables on Saturday so presumably nobody checked since then that it was ok!

Nice to see you today Janie by the way.

Sorry the updates dried up a bit at the end, didn't realise that the livescores were playing up again.

Well yes, it was a compeling day.
Nice to meet you again Matt and Janie! Nice to meet Alex and Neil aswell.
I'll add photos very soon ...

Hard luck to Rory - I know he works so hard! He'll just have to win in China now!

[MalJackson]

rory will have that match in his mind for the next few months i fear.

had plenty of chances to win

led 6-3 7-4 and 9-8.

gerrard is an average player but sure enough another world champs 1st round exit looms for him.

rory could of done more damage, big shame really.

[missneworleans]

He missed great chances at Uk championship aswell.....

To demonstrate how badly off the Dott/Michie table was yesterday, here is a video that I recorded of them as they tried in vain to fix it.

This looks more like an amateur table than a table used to decide the world championship.
