It's the Trump show right now...
3 nil in no time, 2 back to back tons, with some flash shots that resemble Jimmy's in his heyday

He claps like a seal after every shot, and sometimes waves at the crowd. Hilarious.
Circus clowns tend to do that.

Stevens has shown in the last 2 frames what a bottler he is. And that's why he's unfortunately never won the WC.

Exactly, bottled both of those 2 last frames, but Higgins has to be said made 2 trademark Higgins cleaances didn't he TR...
Macth still not over of course, but Matthew will have to make the most of his chances from now on, otherwise Higgins will win this fairly confortably.

Why did they introduce the flat-draw for the UK? Do that on a less prestigious tournament surely??
Turned into a f lottery this thing.

It's been turned into a second rate crapshoot, in my opinion.

Even that 3-1 may have made all the difference in my opinion, but yeah 4-1 no way back for Matthew the way he's playing.
Higgins looking rock solid today.

Yeah, but to put things in perspective, he's playing Stevens.

David Morris 4-0 up
Glad the Selby result wasn't a one off and he's carrying that form.

No seriously it seems like the big 3 (ROS, MJW, HIG) all seem to play reasonably well again in this tournament.

He was really impressive against Selby, especially the way he responded after Mark leveled the match. Usually low ranked players fall apart in these moments.

ROS hasn't really played good so far, C-game at the best but obviously that's also due to the current situation of him. Things has to chance in the next matches because if he doesn't improve, he could even lose to Woolaston.

The funny thing is that Ronnie was probably the least impressive of the 3 so far due to his injury.
Higgins 97% pot success

Woolaston very dangerous no doubt, Ronnie cant afford a bad start. Mind you, he was 3-1 down at IC and still won the match, but with his foot problems and everything things can be different here at the UK.
