Why are you surprised? He plays his favourite opponent.

The last/only time I saw Ebdon beat Robbo it was a complete grindfest and very few breaks. Plus I didn't think Ebdon had the firepower to take Neil head on.

Neither did I. But Ebdon is always good for a surprise.

Robbo showing nerves

Ebdon on his way to a 4-3 lead.

Three in a row from Ebdon. Head job complete?

Seeing him miss that pink I would say: yes

Something about China that Ebdon must really like. His last two rankers were there and he made the semis here last year.

This match confirms yet again that snooker truely is a game of the mind.

Robertson just keeps gifting chances to Ebdon

Only Ebdon is starting to miss as well now.

Decider alert between Maflin and Dott.

Zhao Xintong 2-6 Marco Fu
Neil Robertson 3-4 Peter Ebdon
Mark Allen 3-5 Joe Perry
Graeme Dott 5-5 Kurt Maflin

What is it with Ebdon he can play rubbish for 99% of the season then he has a run to keep his ranking above wated before going back rubbish for the next 99% of the Tour.

Mark Allen keeping the Match alive

Maflin has a chance for a Great win and a Great Run in a Major

4 in a row for Ebdon

Four in a row from Ebdon.

Maflin breaks down and Dott back in for a chance to take the decider.

Dott is in with a counter i think Snooky was Right this should have been a TV Match

Neil Robertson 3-5 Peter Ebdon
Mark Allen 4-5 Joe Perry
Graeme Dott 5-5 Kurt Maflin

Graeme takes it. Last time he reached a ranking quarter was 2012 Shanghai, wasn't it?

I think Peter will wrap this up in this frame

Joe Perry through 6-4 barring snookers.

great response from Graeme Dott to book his place in the Quarter final.

hes won more Ranking points this week than in the rest of the season put together.

Graeme was 5-3 up and broke down on 61 and Maflin cleared with 71. He broke down on 49 in the next and Maflin dished with 85. Maflin was 43-11 up in decider when Graeme got in and cleared to blue to leave Maflin needing snookers. I can stop shaking now.

Hate to be pedantic but he's won 4000 points so far this week and 4680 in the rest of the season.

Makes you wonder what would've happened if Un-Nooh had actually tried

nothing absalutly nothing he hardly had any chance to try

Robbo misses. Three trickyish reds, at least one of which needs to be taken for Ebdon to win this frame.

Ebdon misses when a couple of balls away from victory...

Robbo breathes Again
