Zhao vs Willo then.

Both were 25/1 pre-tournament which is hefty (8 players were shorter - Trump, Ron, Wilson, Selby, Robbo, Allen, Murphy and Higgins)

Long way back from here for Williams. From the bits I’ve seen Zhao has been terrific and will take some stopping.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He was legit a top 10 player before his ban, which is why some of the coverage framing it as a seismic shock is a bit off.

Been the best player over the fortnight without a doubt.

I backed him pre tournament at 14/1, guess I should have shopped around

The commentary team and the crowd seem fair and balanced this evening.

Zhao's getting that little bit of luck on top of playing the better snooker today. You'd like it to be closer for the spectacle, but he's handled himself brilliantly

Ronnie made two 147s in the same match against Kyren Wilson yesterday.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Shaun Murphy out of the top 16 today for the first time since 2006. It was the longest unbroken streak (although to be fair John Higgins only dropped out for about 10 days fairly recently and got straight back in, otherwise he's been there since 1994).

Ouch, that will hurt his sizeable ego! Shows how competitive the top end has become, if lacking a little in flair
