Judd Trump has not done well in the UK championship in the past 5 years. Ever since he got to the final in 2014 he's not managed to get to the quarter finals ever since.

I'm hoping for a Ding-McManus final, a replay of that great WC semi-final in 2016.

McManus v Jimmy on Wednesday afternoon, I'll definately watch that one.
ROS plays on Wedesnday evening too. And like I said in the NI thread, hope that event was all the practice he needed for this one.

I hope that match is available to watch, I'd presume it's Robbo on the tele with Angles-White on the player.

You know which one! The one who's first name rhymes with a mammal that likes to spend time in the ocean and put itself on a great white's dinner plate.

Judd is the favorite for every tournament (that he enters), and probably will be for several years to come.

Something funny is going on with the Mark Williams match. They seem to have paused play for some reason. Anyone know what's going on? (I don't have any commentary on my stream).

I see they've changed the lighting today.
Pink Ball must have written them a letter.
