Jimmy has met Milkins 3 times before and won all matches, albeit all best of 7s and 1 best of 9. I too expect him to be beaten, but if he can improve his safety and score a bit more heavily, then Jimmy should get through.

Jimmy has had a very kind draw this tournament - I don't think he could've hand picked it much better.

Fancy an "upset" v Rob.

Milkins in the form of his life this season though. He's been consistently getting to venues and often beating seeds there. If he can beat the likes of John Higgins at a venue, Jimmy's screwed.

jimmy needs a good start otherwise milkins will hammer him

Maflin getting stronger at the business of the match like he did against Steadman. Not looking good for Steve...

i hope maflin and jack beat ebo and fergal

Don't agree, I do agree with Skull and say that Milkins is one of the toughest he could have faced in the last round as Milkins has been playing very well, and will prove a hard test for Jimmy.

So Jimmy definately needs to start strong, otherwise it'll be a walkover for Rob.

selty a chance for 9-6

Definitely. Gould, Milkins and Fu are the dangermen of the last qualifying round. Jimmy'll have his work cut out.

BLOBS

highfield v jones

?????/

who has a better chance v campbell ?

Agree cause so far Jimmy's 2 chinese opponents played very poor, and Milkins won't give him half the chances they did, so he'll have to be on his game to beat him.

JJ, but only if he plays as well as he did last year.

So far this season he has done nothing, and Highfield may well beat him if he follows the same pattern.

highfield on the up and jones in bad form

but then the same was with zhanger in good form this week mike white in bad form......

yeah it's all on the day really. One day you may play great and beat almost anyone, the next day you may struggle to pot a ball, so we'll just have to wait and see.

9-6 selt barring snookers

Davis BLOB.

selty 9-6 up winning 4 in a row but apparently under the cosh according to sonny

Well Sonny's actually watching him play, so maybe he looks edgy

fair point just thinking winning 4 frames in a row at crunch time shows good nerve

good man steve i need 10-7 maflin

You never knew Jimmy. He is a cool guy and would never associate with a turd like you.

what a match winning break from Kurt

10-7 Maflin. Good break to kill it off Hope he gets past the master grinder on Sunday.

Makes his third ton of the match as well

GJ wrote:what a match winning break from Kurt

Now hoping he beats Ebdon.

TT pulls 1 back

9-7 selty
