So many top players in with a chance of the title,

Obviously three of the big four still there, Trump, Robertson, Selby who can all lift the title.

Last year's finalist Kyren Wilson with a chance.

Three time champion Williams on a resurgence.

And not forgetting Bingham who as a qualifying is playing superbly.

And can we rule out Murphy who has reached three finals before.

And McGill who was only one frame from the final last year.

Have we ever reached the quarters before where all eight players can still win?

I realised that when i typed it. Of course i meant a realistic chance of winning. There is usually one or two outsiders left at this stage but not this year.

and extreme topspin shots - they always look good.

Maybe he'll even wear his new Louis Vuitton shoes! Naughty!

Jamie Jones is an outsider; Yan as well, possibly, due to his inexperience at this level - though it seems odd calling the Masters winner an outsider...
