Betfred World Championship (Sat Aug 8th) Last 16 !!
Friday 31st of July~Sunday 16th of August at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
First day since the start of the tournament that the Forum ran smootly again, but don't count your chickens just yet. Hopefully all issues have been sorted though.
It's day 9 of the World Championships, and we already have 4 quarter-finalists. Defending champion Judd Trump, who survived an enormous battle v Yan Bingtao, as did 3 time champion Mark Selby winning on a decider and making a century in it, a rare feat in deciding frames at the Crucible. Mark Williams also got through a tough battle.
All of these players into the quarter-finals, and Kyren Wilson will hit his first ball this morning, due to the late withdrawal of Anthony Hamilton, he plays Martin Gould. Neil Robertson plays Barry Hawkins, in a repeat of their Quarter-Final here 5 years ago, a classic match which ended 13-12, if we have anything similar here we are in for a treat.
Ding Junhui and Ronnie O'Sullivan are locked at 4 frames each, just like their 2017 encounter after the first session, and Jamie Clarke managed to have a 4 frame lead over Anthony McGill and will be looking to have another solid session in the afternoon. No matches schedulled to end today, but players will be looking to make a decisive move.
