Ronnie 6-2 Allen, a combination of Ronnie on form and Allen not really getting into it, Allen giften Ronnie frame 7, ROS had a chance in the last but went Allen's way, fair result. Maybe MJW on the other table is spurring him on to play well?
RESULT: Mark Williams 13-3 Jackson Page, a session to spare
MJW hits 6 centuries in a classy performance to humiliate his young protegee, not much you can do about that one, anyone would have struggled to cope with him on this form.
MJW will play the winner of Selby/ Bingtao which kicks off 230pm
Williams was ridiculous yesterday - Poor old Page was 7-0 down and hadn't really done anything wrong !!
Yep i've watched alot of it, Page had the odd chance early but MJW is scoring well and his potting is ridiculous at the moment. A harsh learning curve for Page but he will be up there in a few years time.
Now you have the choice to watch Selby v Bingtao (paulie will be watching), Xintong v Maguire, i have one on the phone and one on TV cant decide lol
Stephen Maguire 11-5 Zhao Xintong (Conclusion tomorrow 10am) lets hope for a fight back, on the other table will be Selby v Yan part 2
Maguire certainly upsetting the bookies here, with the youngster heavily backed. Its a bit of a funny one, Xintong pulled of a wicked clearance earlier after a snooker and a nice pink and tough black. But he has never really got going, for me he goes for too much which is playing into Maguire's hands, he can just pick him off. Maybe a bit of inexperience as he's had chances just not quite been on it like he can be.
Winner plays Ronnie, so i am sure he would be happy to avoid the dangerous (future champ) Xintong.
Yan Bingtao currently 3-2 up against Selby, alot of saftey and both playing well, tough one to call and you can never write of Selby.
Enjoy your weekend all, hope you get to watch lots of snooker,
Selby v Yan was a great match. Especially that frame. Great safety play. Liked the cheeky bit from Yan when he asked if the cue ball could be cleaned when he was snookered.
Results for Stuart Bingham against Kyren Wilson 13 - 9 and John Higgins 13-7 Noppon Saengkham early.
On now we have the last of the second round matches Judd Trump 10-6 Anthony McGill.
and Neil Robertson against Jack Lisowski who should also be 10-6 but Robertson got that last frame yesterday to make it 9-7. Got a feeling Robertson will peg him back.
Robertson looked quite out of sorts during this session but Lisowski looks like he's gifted him this frame to bring it back to 9-10. You cannot give a player of his quality a sniff if you get your nose in front.
Proper cracker that one. I think you could see the impact of pressure on both players one minute, then brilliant the next. Had everything and either player would be a worthy winner but very pleased for Lisowski.
@paulie8290 should make a comeback for the rest of the World Championship. Come on mate, the world championship isn't the same without your input
Haha I'm good but and enjoying reading the comments on here but won't be making a comeback with any updates I'm afraid, watched pretty much every match(apart from Saturday due to upbeats walk then charlton)
But other than the predictions league I try not to post on here anymore and have found myself getting less stressed with that 🤣🤣
I Will say I was disappointed Robbo lost tonight tho, I can only see him and Higgins beating Ronnie atm now Selby is out.
Robbo doesn't really like the crucible much don't but if he got to the one table set up I reckon he could have beat Ronnie in that Semi, now it's down to Higgins, otherwise I will have to miss the final, no way am I watching Ronnie win it again 🤣🤣

All good Paulio, you got to do what works for you. Nice to hear from you regardless.
I think its still wide open, but you can see why Ronnie is fave, MJW v Ronnie final would be perfect for me or even Yan based on who i've backed ew vs who i want to win. Always a shame to see Robbo knocked out but class from Jack.
So quarter finals is here so i'll just put in the times for those that want to follow: Yan Bingtao v Mark Williams - 10am start, 7pm second session and concludes tomorrow 230pm.
Ronnie v Maguire - 10am start, 7pm second session and concludes tomorrow 11am.
Bingham v Trump - 230pm start. Tomorrow 10 second session and concludes tomorrow night 7pm
Lisowski v Higgins 230pm start. second session tomorrow 230pm. concludes tomorrow eve 7pm.
Still tricky one to call MJW still the player playing the best, then Ronnie but not quite there yet and a tough battle against Yan who showed he can battle with the best of them (Selby).
Never right Higgins off, same with Trump who still feels under the radar and without looking top form if he clicks in surely he is the one to beat.
As I was with my elderly parents over the last couple of days, we watched the last 10 frames of Robbo and Jack and it had everything. From the sublime 147(151!) for the Aussie, fantastic potting from Lisowski to the ridiculous last frame where both players made basic mistakes due to the nerves of the final frame shoot out.
A quarter final against John Higgins will be very difficult and it may be a case of after the lord Mayor's show. Good to see new names come through against the class of 92; O'Sullivan, Williams and the player made from granite, John Higgins.

I believe Jack Lisowski was making his debut at the Crucible. A quarter final against John Higgins will be very difficult and it may be a case of after the lord Mayor's show. Good to see new names come through against the class of 92; O'Sullivan, Williams and the player made from granite, John Higgins.
Lisowski isn't making his debut i am afraid, his debut season at the big stage was 2012/2013, he lost in round one. He didn't qualify the next 4 years but has qualified every year since 2017/2018, this will be the furthest he has got if thats what you mean?
Jack has the talent, but looks like he is playing a bit more controlled and taking a bit more time on shots these days. He has recently started working with Peter Ebdon and he looks to have gone up a level, for years he has been tipped to be up there with Trump but hasn't had the consistency or mental strength to date, huge win against Robbo.
Cheers Johnnybev, I will edit as I misheard. It was his debut in the last 16 at Sheffield as he had lost there in earlier rounds as you said. Amazing how at 30 years old Jack is playing his best snooker just as O'Sullivan, Williams and Higgins reach 30 years as professionals.

No problem, i did wonder lol
Yeah crazy really, some players have kicked on mid 30's, its amazing how consistent ROS, Williams and Higgins have been for so long, they have all briefly dipped but still at the top of the game.
I was flicking between the two, Ronnie not really clicked in until the last few frames and Maguire had chances not taken. Maguire knicks the last to at least make it not impossible. Ronnie with the one century so far
Yan/ MJW, started of quite tactical then Williams took the last 4 frames and Yan not really getting in. 1 century a piece in that one.
I might jynx ROS here, but never thought Maguire would have the game to beat Ronnie here, still possible but a huge ask with Ronnie in front and not quite firing still. maybe if he can knick the next session 5-3? Not sure he has the bottle personally.
Higgins 5-3 Liswoski, not watching it but sounds like a few could have gone the other way with Lisowski missing chances. 0 Centuries which surprises me.
Trump 5-3 Bingham , Some longer frames here where both players not quite firing, i think this could go all the way and close. one century each so far.
Ronnie O'Sullivan beats 13-5 Maguire, takes the opening two this morning. Hasn't really been firing and had a problem with his tip yesterday but has 36 hours to hopefully get that sorted or maybe he did it last night? played well today. One more century to add to his one yesterday
Update: Trump 8-8 Bingham, Bingham took the first 5 frames and Trump looking not really interested, fought back well in the last few frames, still not firing on the long pots but looking better. All to play for this eve..
Next session 2:30pm see clives previous post for who's playing
Williams through. Showed his class in the last two frames to win it.
watched a bit of Lisowski yesterday and a tad bit today. One of the most infuriating players to watch. Always capable of missing an easy pot after some great play. Though Higgins has struggled a bit as well.
