Tuesday 23rd of November - Sunday 5th of December at the York Barbican Centre

It's a mixture of experience v youth in the Quarter-Finals. First up it's a repeat of the 2020 World Final between Kyren Wilson and Ronnie O'Sullivan, whlist Luca Brecel is up against Anthony McGill, the latter at this stage of the event 7 years since his last.

Barry Hawkins also hadn't reached this far since 2013, and he's up against Andy Hicks, 48 year old veteran who has amazingly survived four straight 6-5 deciding frame matches, into his first UK Champs quarter-final for 26 years! The other evening match sees youth in Jack Lisowski v Zhao Xintong.

Who shall win their respective matches and move into the one table setup?

DRAW

Quarter-Finals

Anthony McGill v Luca Brecel Brecel leads 4-0
Kyren Wilson v Ronnie O'Sullivan O'Sullivan leads 7-3
------------------------------------------------------------
Barry Hawkins v Andy Hicks Hawkins leads 6-0
Zhao Xintong v Jack Lisowski Lisowski leads 2-1

He was taking care of his cat and planning to take over the world and kill James Bond.

ROS confirms what I've been saying all along: Xintong is the most talented out of the new wave of Chinese players.
Xintong is the ROS of this new wave, while Yan is the Higgins.
If Xintong improves his safety and tactical play, he will win an event in the near future.
