like what?

Extend it to a full week, so that they don't have to squeeze so many matches in at once. An extra televised table as well so that we have something to watch if the TV tables have had quick one-sides beatdowns like it has been the case today.

These are common complaints already expressed by many people, tbh. No sign of anything changing though.

totally agree

Great performance from Woollaston keeping Murphy in check

C'mon Wooley make the magician go poof!

Looks like he's first in. 2 deciders shame we can't see them.

Gould looks to have won barring snookers.

Best matches no tv!

Alrighty Gouldy!

Smurph lets me down once again.

And Ben Woollaston indeed takes it!!!

I think the nature of the venue supports it more as having one table with the outside tables - I don't think the venue supports having two main dedicated focus tables in the same way that a two table situation would have looked out of place at the Wembley Conference Centre.

Playing multiple matches in the one day is one of the reasons why this and the Welsh are almost seen as PTCs with longer formats. I think it'd be improved a bit if we went to six days and spent two days on the Last 32, with the Last 16 on Thursday - Quarters on Friday and so on. If you wanted to have five tables still in operation you could hold four Last 64 matches over from qualifying into the venue.

Day 1 - Tuesday Afternoon 4 x Last 32 Matches, Evening 4 x Last 32 Matches
Day 2 - Wednesday - Afternoon 4 x Last 32 Matches, Evening 4 x Last 32 Matches
Day 3 - Thursday Afternoon 4 x Last 16 Matches, Evening 4 x Last 16 Matches
Day 4 - Friday Afternoon 2 x quarter-final matches, Evening 2 x quarter-final matches
Day 5 - Saturday Afternoon 1 Semi-Final, Evening, 2nd Semi-Final
Day 6 - Sunday - Final

Great response from Zhao Xintong after a impressive first 2 frames from Luca Brecel

Allen 0-1 Joyce
Marco Fu 0-2 Maflin
Luca Brecel 2-1 Zhao Xintong

Apart from desk fan, there doesn't seem to be much interest on here, is that down to the lack of box office players?

More likely people are either

a) at work
b) still in bed
