ORDER OF PLAY





NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UK

I have no horse in this race, but it would be nice to see a teenager win the tournament.

According to Wikipedia Yuan's nickname is 'the Stewart'. Any ideas what that's about?

I've noticed that Sky Sports News have been putting snooker scores a lot.

Getting a bit more high profile?

Perhaps they're bringing back the Premier League?

I doubt it.

Have you got a zebra in the race?

Didn't Read.

I wonder if Hendry will mention Dan-Cat on punditry.

ITV really love using Oasis songs in their montages.

I notice they didn't seem to be using the album version of Songbird there

I didn't know they were Oasis songs.

No controversy.

Allen was being a tit.

Ali Carter golf reference.

Will Cheltenham be used next year?

Discuss.

Be funny if Yuan lost now.

I think the venue's... run its course.

Actually in seriousness, I'd love to see Yuan fulfill Hendry's promise.

If he can win as much as Ding did as an 18 year old, it can only be good for the game.

He did mention he’s just unblocked some banker on twitter.

In that case, he didn't mention Dan.

Not a fan of the players walking on together like this.

I hate Phil Yates....

Yates explains that Yuan sometimes cooks Xiao dinner.
