Betfred World Championship (Fri Aug 7th) Last 16 !!

Did anyone else pick up a hint of sarcasm in the ref's saying of the 24th frame.

i'd say he's looked a lot more at ease in this match, compared to earlier in the season when he tended to struggle on the main table. maybe the lack of a crowd has helped

He overhit the yellow. I know Davis gave it the “he hit it too well” line, but that’s a poor excuse. He had a massive area to play in, failed to do so, and his only way out to get on the black was to play that red at a tricky pace with side.

As Willie Thorne always said, “That wasn’t the bad shot, it was the shot before”.

That should be the end

Oh and that's a bad miss.

Yeah, Commodore 64, maybe Amiga level now...lol

I’ve heard they’re dusting off a Sega Mega CD for the quarters.

Ronnie’s reaction first time he heard the canned clapping priceless

That wobbled

Judd making this look like very hard work.

playing too slow and overthinking on shots

A Selby break

Why are these pockets so bucking big?

Sick of World Snooker devaluing tournaments by thinking that big breaks made on sub-par tables is somehow good for the game.... not the first time, won't be the last.

Its over

That 20th frame cost Yan big time.

Pretty Woman.

Potential meeting with Kyren Wilson in the quarters for the World Champion. I don’t know about you guys but I’d prefer to watch him play Gould.

Yea pheww massive relief

Really? Earlier rounds saw a lot that didn't go in that probably should have done, lots of pocket wobbles, remember Robbo looking perplexed at why his shots didn't go in (and he's bloody awesome) but other players too, especially the bottom two pockets.

Yan returning home via boat?

Quality from the WN1

Trump Gould would be a better match to watch but Wilson probably has the better chance to beat him.

Best break of the tournament

Judd through.

Yep, pretty much. I think Gould’s game would probably favour Judd.

Higgins 147??

Damn, Yan good effort, really wanted him to win, but well done Judd.

Great but for the difficulty of some pots and pressure situation Judd takes the prize for me

long red to yellow pocket is a best shot of tournie contender

The red to the yellow pocket. Wow. Just....wow.

What a player.
