O/T Snooker

Anyone been watching?

Been a decent tournament so far with some great performances and a 147 break from Mark Allen.

It's this week when the tournament really gets going with the quarter finals though.

Higgins v Williams will be one for the ages.

Based on current performance levels, I can see Judd Trump winning it - but you can't ever rule out Ronnie O'Sullivan, you just don't know which version of him will turn up.



World Snooker Championship quarter finals - best of 25

Zhao Xintong v Chris Wakelin

Ronnie O'Sullivan v Si Jiahui

John Higgins v Mark Williams

Luca Brecel v Judd Trump

Love the world championships.

Would be great to see Ronnie win it again but I think you're right that Trump will win it.
Though Brecel is looking good. Amazing player to watch when he's on form

Hoping that Mark Williams can pull off something special but Trump is seemingly the man most likely.

I love the snooker so have been watching every day.

Judd Trump has been playing at the top of his game but he looked a bit nervy and shaky when Shaun Murphy won 4 on the bounce yesterday afternoon.

Luca Brecel has been fantastic, reminds me of the way he played when he won it a few years back.

Can never rule Ronnie out but he has his issues which have been well documented and his post match interviews haven’t screamed ‘confidence’ - not that it means much when it’s Ronnie.

First session done in all four quarter finals:


Zhao Xintong 6-2 Chris Wakelin

Ronnie O'Sullivan 6-2 Si Jiahui

John Higgins 5-3 Mark Williams

Luca Brecel 3-5 Judd Trump



Ronnie and Zhao with a great start to their matches in terms of having a four frame gap. Higgins v Williams and Trump v Brecel more or less in the balance but with Higgins and Trump leading by two.

Second session in the Ronnie v Si match is tomorrow at 10am, with Brecel v Trump back at 2.30pm.

Higgins v Williams and Zhao v Wakelin return at 7pm tonight.

Trump is going to take some stopping.
He's unplayable when he plays like that.
He's got everything to his game now

Higgins v Williams has been as good as expected. Not full of big breaks but some great tactical play.

8-8 going into the final session tomorrow morning. The winner will play Luca Brecel or Judd Trump in the semi final.

Zhao Xintong leads Chris Wakelin 12-4 after tonight, going into their final session tomorrow afternoon he's on the verge of the semi finals - where he'd play Ronnie O'Sullivan or Si Jiahui.
