Yeah think so too. He's not a type of Ronnie fan as I am apparently, he's fair on comentating on all players yes, but I reckon he isn't like me cause he only watches snooker cause of one player only I think. I watch it because I love the game, of course with Ronnie in it it's even better as we all have our favouries, but with or without Ronnie I'll always watch snooker.

Anyway, I hope he comes back cause I like his coments and the way he talks about the matches.

BATTLE OF THE ASIANS!

Another one who got up early to watch the snooker I see

Trump starting off like a train, already 3 nil to Judd, 2 back to back tons, almost 100% pot sucess, Bond yet to pot a ball.

But Bond pots his first now.

let's see if he can make anything off this

Judd Trump v Nigel Bond 5-1
Barry Hawkins v Mark Selby 1-5
Neil Robertson v Graeme Dott 5-0
Matthew Stevens v Shaun Murphy 5-3

True, Murphy 3-1 up I thought was a cert.

Yep me too, I saw 3-1 and couldn't see Stevens overturning it.

Apparently he did it with his mates cue!!!

Stevens remarkably beat Shaun Murphy 5-3 despite playing with Mark Williams' cue, as his own cue failed to arrive on the flight to China. Murphy led 3-1 after a break of 110 but Stevens won the last four frames with a top break of 73.

"It's hard enough to win when you've got your cue!" said Stevens. "I dug in there at 3-1 down and tried to play without side as it's hard to play with side with a different cue. Hopefully my cue will arrive tonight. I didn't expect to get this far so everything now is a bonus. Maybe I'll put my cue in the bin!"

Allen is playing that bad that if he was Lee, everybody would blame him for throwing the match...

Marco Fu 2-1 Ding Junhui
Mark Allen 0-2 Robert Milkins
Ricky Walden 2-0 Stephen Maguire
Stuart Bingham 0-3 John Higgins

Graeme tells me that Robertson never missed anything at all in a live frame. So best of luck to him.

Didn't see the Trump match but sounds like he played amazingly. Hopefully, that will inspire him to take the tournament and give him confidence against Ronnie in the final of the world championship.

Marco Fu 2-3 Ding Junhui
Mark Allen 3-2 Robert Milkins
Ricky Walden 2-2 Stephen Maguire
Stuart Bingham 0-5 John Higgins

Marco Fu 2-4 Ding Junhui
Mark Allen 5-2 Robert Milkins
Ricky Walden 2-3 Stephen Maguire

Mark Allen lost the first 2 frames but came back to beat stablemate Robert Milkins 5-2

Marco Fu 2-5 Ding Junhui

from 2-1 down Ding Junhui wins 5-2 and next a match with John Higgins

Good play from Ding. Everyone will be cheering him on against the disreputable Higgins.

Awsome line up for quarters....

Ricky Walden pulls 1 frame Back

his only win against Maguire in 10 matches was in China the 2006 China Open he won 5-3 in the Last 32.

Between that Match and 2011 they never met but since 2011 they have played 8 times before in fact this Match is their 6th meeting in 2013 so be it the others has been in condom breakfast park.

Allen

He is making a decent fist of defending his title.

3 tons for Trump off the back of a SF run in Wales...is he starting to reach top gear again?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Good post. Robbo lacks the quality needed at this level. Dott will steamroller him and good riddance to bad rubbish.

GJ, I believe you also tipped Dott to win.

Never mind, he will be thrashed in the quarter final.
