Another great Crucible match:
2011 semi final between Judd Trump and Ding Junhui. Judd was coming through. Won the China Open few weeks earlier and was looking good during the tournament. Ding was favourite and it was a close match but Judd went on to win 17-15.
Sadly he lost the final to Higgins though.
Cracking qualifiers today, Zhou Yeulong beat Xu Si 6-5, he was 5-4 down, 67 behind in 10th frame and made a good 73 clearance, then made 71 in the decider to cling the match.
Selt beats Bond 6-5, he was trailing 5-2 as well.
Spaceman loses 6-5 to Scott Donaldson
Mark King got through....
Players the seeds will want to avoid in round 1,, Stuart Bingham, Ali Carter, Gary Wilson, Joe Perry, Graeme Dott, Ricky Walden, Luca Brecal, Martin Gould... A tough looking round 1 for the seeds... Only a week to go!
Of course, these have to qualify first, but they are the top boys below the 16...
Yep they certainly will be player to avoid.
Day 13: Ronnie O'Sullivan v Barry Hawkins 12-13 2016 Round 2, Hawkins lead most of the match, Inc 12-9, before Ronnie leveled at 12-12, Hawkins pinching it.... Ronnie was in a few Crucible barren years from 15-19 no further than the quarters.. Took a long time to get over that Slowby defeat in 2014.
Easy quiz question.. Which 4 opponents have knocked Ronnie out in the semi's over the years...
Hendry, Higgins, Ebdon, Dott.
I think that's right. Hendry in 1999 and 2002, Ebdon in 1996, Higgins in 1998 and Dott in 2006.
Jimmy White been given another tour card.

Indeed Arsenal, I knew you'd know... As for Jimmy...... NOOOOOOOOO🙄
jimmy should give up playing on the main tour now, it's embarrassing
stick to the seniors
his cue ball control is really poor now
i dont remember this happening to say reardon, when he was a similar age
I don't mind Doherty getting a tour card but Jimmy has had it far too often.
Peks, if you look at Jimmy in his pomp he was always losing that cue ball, yet his excellent long potting got him out of jail numerous times, over time his long potting has gone, but his cue ball control ( or lack of it) stands out even more....
