Doesn’t sound good
A lot of players you can't take at face value, but I wouldn't be inclined to call Williams out. If he does retire, he'll have had a fairly glorious end to a glorious career. What happened in 17/18, nobody could have predicted, not even me, and I know almost everything about snooker, far more than anyone else.

Yeah, MJW usually does what he says. If he says he wants to retire he will definitely retire. I think it’s looking very likely to be the end of this season

If you can earn an easy 150-200k a year then why retire

Because he's already a millionaire, has a young family to spend time with and can still make money playing exhibitions and seniors events?

Michael Georgiou's opponent has no surname.

Maybe Craigie was confused as to whom he was playing. Eurosport are advertising that his opponent is Ricky Walton

That or he is still waiting for the Order Of Play to load on his phone.

Playing some nice stuff. And not hanging about. You’d think in a longer format Bingo might get into the match, but he’s done for here I reckon.

Don’t get me wrong, SF, his stuff has been lovely today. But how many young players have a good day and then don’t live up to the unrealistic hype they find themselves burdened with?

Give it until he appars on an ITV event, and Hendry will be saying that Si Jiahui is the best teenager of all time.

Selby plays The MOD later. One for the purists?

It could be the longest best of 7 match ever.

Yep, think I’ll watch Lisowski instead, assuming he’s playing at the same time.
Also Robbo vs Fu could be decent. Both players that have recently made efforts to play at the sort of pace that seems to get better results.

Oh we’d know about it if Wild ever crossed cues with his hero.
