Surely you should support Ding because Luca’s already won the thing

Luca v Ding is a beast of a match. Wowow.

But one set = two eyes

So one eye on each table - simples

I am having a day off the booze today.

I look forward to a day of your posts being well-considered and full of clarity.

And in the correct threads

When Lei Peifan won the Scottish Open beating Wu Yize in the final, on that day Zhao Xintong was in Austria winning his third Q Tour Event beating Ryan Thomerson 4-2 in the Final.

In the Quarter Finals that Day when the Scottish Open final was in the first session, Zhao Xintong came from 3-0 down to beat Matthew Glasby 4-3 in Viena.

Who would have thought then their Paths would cross in the World Championship last 16 fighting for a place in the Quarter Final

Looks like it's only on iplayer this morning. Anyone had any luck with the red button?
