Lei trailing just 5-4 and slightly concerning for Mertens.

The lovely Mitchell Mann is refusing to die.
Anyone else ever thought his cue action resembles that of Eddie Charlton?

So often the player who forces the decider ends up losing it. And Lei has been far from convincing during this comeback.

I think it's 50/50. We need some stats for it. We should ask our pal Phil Yates.

Now that's how you steal a frame! 5-5. Who is going to hold their nerve in the decider?

Most likely yes. He could still get enough points on the one year list if he gets to the last 48.

Be a shame if he dropped off and had to return to China "empty handed", as it were. You feel that at 17, it'd be harsh, especially after missing last years WC.
