That's now gone 6-2 to Gary Wilson.
He's certainly been the player knocking in the big breaks in the Qualifiers, but I would have expected Michael White to be doing better...

It seems that only a few players ranked between 17 and 32 will go at the Crucible. Walden was out from the 1st round, Perry, Hamilton and McManus crumbled at the 2nd and at the first session of today's matches we see King, Holt and M. White at least three frames behind their opponents.

It was a bit of scrappy start, but Guodong just seemed to put his foot on the pedal and barrage King with break after break.

Remember when Mark King won a ranking event?
It was only the other week.

I think it was 1997 when we saw 11 'unseeded qualifiers from outside the top 32.
Of those that did, Bradley Jones who won no money the season before took 4th seed John Parrott to a deciding frame in the first round whilst world number 189 Lee Walker who won £275 ended up making the quarter-finals.
And that was when the 17 to 32 seeds had to play one qualifier - I think the Last 48 round of qualifying was also standalone as in none of the 17-32 players were coming up against players who had had 5 or 6 matches before they entered the fray

I always feel that 3-6 is 'recoverable' in a first-to-10 match.
But, Akani has to start well tomorrow against David Grace.
talking of Grace, I noticed on the TV during the shoot-out, that he'd had lost so much weight...4 stones I think he said. He's certainly managed to keep-it-off, from what I just saw of him there on YouTube against the Thai player.
It seems it's certainly helping his game.
But, if he does qualify, I'd imagine that (privately) he'd be a player that the Top-16 would like to get in Thursday's draw.

Absolutely. Many a match been recovered from 6-3. Get off to a good start tomorrow, win the first session 3-1 and then it's back to 7-6.
7-2 is also recoverable even if it is a tough order. From 8-1 down though, I think King's only hope is to keep Xiao on eight for as long as he can. If he can get to the interval 8-5 then that'll give Xiao something to think about. - If he can get closer then Xiao will be nervous.

If Xiao and Yan both win then that equals the record for most Chinese and Asian players ever to qualify and that's with another six Asians in with a chance to qualify.

Not looking great for wee Dotty! 0-3....
At present, I'm sure he'd take a 4-5 overnight deficit.
