Ahhh yes I know Rod Lawler.

Bye Selby !

Is Selby number 1 spot finally under threat? Swear he's been world number one for the past 4 and half years or so.

Yes, Williams will replace him if he wins the tournament

Higgins out after leading 5-3

talking about retiring now

feel like the 2 consecutive world championship final defeats have taken alot out of Higgins

Dominic Dale will retire end of the season.

list of all results so far, don't want to actually post that on article just as it will be very long and messy as I'd rather focus on upcoming schedule

Ronnie won 6-5 Ken was 4-1 up at one stage.

Ronnie not playing too well, but winning!

5-5 between Judd and Dale how did Judd miss that black! can he come back from this?

Judd makes a century in the decider to hold his nerve for 6-5 win

Interesting last 16 line up, great chance for Judd to get to the semis but cannot take anything for granted. Ronnie against Jack Lisowski will be an interesting game, I want to see Jack give him a better game and hopefully nick a win if things can go his way.

Happy birthday Ronnie, one year younger than me..

Jack making to many mistakes and pushing the boat out. This is looking like it could end up 6-1

Great comeback by Maguire 4-0 to lead 5-4 then play few cracking shots to win the decider 6-5.
