Someone so good losing so badly doesn't happen very often. In 1988, Ray Reardon whitewashed Steve Davis when Ray was on his way out at around number 50 and Davies was number 1. Any others spring to mind?

It hapens more now, more tournaments shorter matches, only last month O'sullivan beat Higgins 6-0 And obviously not a whitewash but Bingtao beat O'Sullivan 6-1 in october
with so many shorter matches be interesting to know the player who wins the first frame how many go on to win the match? it just seems that first frame has become much more important.
Amazing how low Robertson is in rankings at moment.
Will be back into top 16 after this event(to late for the masters now) He dropped because the money he earned for winning the uk championship 2 years ago has now expired and he has been struggling the last 2 years(personal problems have affected his snooker)

Really enjoyed that tonight, wasn't that I particularly wanted Robertson to win but i was left to have a beer and watch it so glad it went the distance.
Felts sorry for Cao, played a blinder and from 8-4 up was had quite a few chances just couldn't over the line. Cracking tourney for him and well done Robbo for getting back in the winners circle.
