At the moment, it's scheduled for around 11.pm UK time.

And that is being conservative. Can see all matches going the distance tonight, fortunately Ford v Lisowski will be a quick match as neither player will get involved in any tactical battles. Could be a midnight start which is just stupid. They really haven't scheduled these matches well this week. Too many sluggers on early who will always struggle to see off a best of 7 in anything less than 3 hours, plus best of 7's tend to be more tense so you see a lot more scrappy frames.

Does anyone on here think the current (packed) calendar is making the top players become fatigued now we're into March?

I was going to put a cheeky bet on Trump to win this year's World Championship, but I've changing my mind over the last couple of weeks...

[streamer45]

Very nice match on now! 134 break by Ford to respond to Lisowski, it's all square 1-1

[PatBlock]

Can't believe Tom missed that blue! :nightmare:

Wow, there's been some damn sloppy play in this match by both players, thoroughly enjoying it though. Wonder which one of them will eventually stumble over the line...

In some matches it's a shame there has to be a loser... It's a shame there had to be a winner in this one, after all the missed sitters and attempts from distance that got nowhere near. :smile: I bet Lisowski won't forget that blue in the penultimate frame for a while.

It looks like the all Nothern Ireland match Mark Allen V Joe Swail will not be broadcast live on Eurosport any one have a live stream link for this match - this is ridulous bring on players this late I wouldn't be suprised if Mark Allen or Joe Swail put in a complaint about it. but well done Tom Ford on coming from 3-1 down to beat Jack Lisowki that is now 5-0 in head to head metings for Tom

[Mr Snooker]

Here's one for snooker anohracs the John Higgins V Allister Carter match was John Higgins 1000 snooker match as a professional snooker player since 1992 suprised Phil Yates never metioned it I wonder if he knew.

[PatBlock]

I know you're fond of a midnight finish Ordl, but I think this is the first time I've aver started watching a match post-midnight. I'd like to see Joe do well here but I'll be very surprised if Mark isn't too strong for him.

I know you're fond of a midnight finish Ordl, but I think this is the first time I've aver started watching a match post-midnight.

:biggrin: Yeah, midnight finishes have been pretty much guaranteed this week, nice to see a midnight start as well. :smile: I think the last time we had one was the 2009 Welsh Open, when they had all four quarter-finals on one table and the first three matches all took longer than expected. The fourth match was Robertson against Fu, and I think they started way past midnight CET. It wasn't much of a match though, as Fu was out of sorts. :wink:
