Tian Pengfei becomes the 13th Chinese player to reach the QFs of a ranking event, and the fourth new one this season.

He becomes the 9th player to reach his maiden ranking QF this season.

Now 197 players have reached a ranking QF.

Yan’s waistcoat and shoes are bold for a 17 year old. I admire him for that.

The BBC would be talking more about his shoes than the match right now.

he would fully deserve it, beating Ronnie's record. I think he has the game to do that, but consistency is key.

Have a feeling normal service will be resumed next week.

You won't see the likes of Li Yuan or Tian Pengfei in the last 8 of the UK or the Worlds, or any other big tournament for that matter. The only reason they are here is because the big guns couldn't be fussed.

Can i remind you in 2015 David Grace reached a UK Semi final.


His best result ever in ranking tournament so the likes of Li Yuan and Tian Pengfei could easily do the same in York

Pengfei would be able to reach last 8 of both. Never seen Yuan play.
