Technically they're all televised, as ES show two matches per session. As for which ES chooses as the main match, and which is the one they occasionally drop into
I'd guess Robbo v Dott and Ding v King.

But on ES International and ES2 at least both matches will be televised at the same time, both sessions too, that's why I was laughing
But I don't know about British Eurosport 1 and 2.

Two good matches here. Robbo 3-1 up on Dott, but could've been 3-1 down as both frame Dotty needed a snooker, got it but Robbo got over the line in the end.
Walden 3-3 from 3-1 after Carter looked like he was going to boss it. Carter misses a black off the spot at 3-1 and hasn't looked the same since.

Robbo takes it. Looks like he might have an easy match for once.

Controversy. Ref calls a miss when he isn't allowed to.

Don't think I've seen this before. Both players gone to find another ref to clarify the rule. Pretty sure the ref was wrong.

Anyway, Jan has come and it's all sorted and Carter has finished Walden off. Faces the winner of Robbo v Dott.

Good plant and good blue. Looks like a fairly simple break for victory now.
