Nirvana Turkish Masters Last 16 & Quarter-Finals!!!

Monday 7th ~ Sunday 13th of March at The Nirvana Cosmopolitan Hotel, Antalya, Turkey

Down to the Last 16 stage, and Judd Trump had to come from 4-1 down against Liang Wenbo to win the match, but he survived and still in the tournament, searching for his first ranking event title of the season.

Elsewhere, Ding Junhui also still in and looking to return to winning ways after a win over Kyren Wilson, whilst other names like John Higgins, Yan Bingtao and Shaun Murphy also looking for a title here. Amateur and recent WSF champion Si Jiahui through to the Last 16, and he faces countryman and the man who started it all in China, Ding Junhui.

With both the Last 16 and Quarter-Finals rounds to be played today, it's going to be a busy day to see who gets through to the Semi-Finals.

Players this afternoon may not get much of a rest then. I think the morning matches and afternoon matches today should have been played an hour earlier.

Table 1 this morning is John Higgins vs Graeme Dott
Table 2 this morning is Ding Junhui vs Si Si Jiahui

The winner of both matches will play each other in the quarter finals this evening.

Now that's how you steal a frame! Dott wins the opening frame.

But want Ding to get back some form and rise up the rankings.

Agreed.

141 break from Higgins and he is level at 1-1.

Ding level at 1-1.

Dott in.

Dott breaks down on 58, there's still a possible 75 points remaining.

Higgins pots the long red but misses the black!

Dott clinches the frame and is leading 2-1.

Ding leading 2-1.

Higgins goes in off.

Dott misses the red on 30.

Higgins fails to land on a colour.

The 141 from Higgins was sublime. Other than that he's looked a little ropey. Anyone watching the Ding match? How's he doing?

Selt leading 3-0

Higgins with a good chance here.
Si Jiahui levels it at 2-2.

Dott needs 1 snooker.

Higgins levels it at 2-2.

Selt 3-1 up on Theppy
