Monday 19th - Sunday 25th of February at The Guild Hall, Preston It's down to the Quarter-Finals stage, and first up it's five time World Champion and already 3 time ranking event winner this season Ronnie O'Sullivan v Xiao Guodong, the latter who beat Mark Allen and John Higgins en route to this match. Then it's Shaun Murphy v Stephen Maguire, as well as Michael White up against World Champion and WN1 Mark Selby, who's trying to get back to winning ways after a poor season since he won the International Championship. Lastly, we have Ding Junhui v Scotland's Anthony McGill.
Who will reach the Semi-Finals and one table setup?

For some reason, I thought he weren't playing tonight. And like twice tomorrow.
ITV need to stop arsing around, and have proper tournament formats.

At least there's an improvment from last year, since the Quarters were also Best of 7.

If Xiao somehow wins this match and beats Allen, Higgins and Ronnie back to back, then he fully deserves to win the tournament. At least I'll support him if that happens.

Murphy v Mags on at the same time. Shame cause I think it's going to be a great match.
All the years have passed, but I think Mags will never forget the chalk incident.

Actually he's about 300 million too high. Unless there are no Chinese women.

Ding not played against anyone who should test him yet, but good to see him winning some matches comfortably.
