He just might be the only Scottish representative in Germany. Higgins lost 1-5! Maguire is still holding, but losing 2-3.

Aye,i just happened to see Zhao pot the last few balls.
Very well done to the Chinese Youngster.
Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry pooooooooooooooooooooooor from the Scots,as far as the German Masters is concerned.
Jeeeeeez!,at this rate,i might even have to bl**dy root for Ronnie,if Selby and Robbo also get kicked out early!
Ah well,at least Johns in the Scottish Open!,

Nice comeback try from Gary,came back from 4-0,to 4-3,but Ron wraps it up in the end.
I Wonder what Ron was sayin to Gary,after he potted the final black,they shook hands and then ron had some words with him,i could even here Ronnie sayin,"nah,nah,nahhhh",the transmition then turned off.

This is the second time I've seen him play. I also saw him play Ronnie earlier this season.
This kid is amazing, IMO he's a future world champion and the best chinese prospect at the moment.
The way he strikes the ball, the way he pots with such ease, he's even more talented than Ding imo.
He just needs to improve his safety and tactical play and he'l be dominating the game in a couple of years.

You think of tensions between them?
Nah, Gary praised Ronn and Ronn returned the favour. He told Gary he's a natural and then I couldn't hear any more...

Thank you for your clarification.
That's what I thought when I saw them discuss.

He's a wonderful player. His breakbuilding is the best I've ever seen from a player his age. The only worry is his safety's poor even for someone that young.

His performance against Ronnie at the English Open, knocking those 2 tons in the process, was breathtaking! Ronnie said after the match it reminded him when he was his age, playing so freely.
Remains to be seen whether he can fulfill his amazing talent. I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen many talents coming from China that have yet to really make a breakthough in the manner Ding and Wenbo did.

I see Ronnie won in the end, but not after Wilson recovered from 4-0 down to only 4-3. It's good Ronnie will play in Germany, for me (even if it's a low tariff ranker compared to others) it's one of the best events on the calendar, just love it! He has such fond memories from there, the 2 times he played in it he won and the 2nd time in 2015 he was only narrowly beaten by Murphy on the final black.

Mate, Mark Selby is the best player in the world. The ever-gritty and solid the Jester started his campaign here very well. As it was well expected. But I noticed that IF of yours..
Meanwhile, Ronnie O´Sullivan denied the challenge from Gary Wilson. Rattling in the breaks of 94, 78, 64, 55 and 52. And Zhao Xintong famously dismantled Wishaws John Higgins 5-1.
It is just a a little kittens playing with each others. No need to take the mickey here. It is the Masters and the Worlds which counts next. I wish they would some day understand a bit better how this ACTUALLY works.. Not much chances to get it going like that, flawlessy I mean. People have always their own ideas. And quiet stubbornly running those.
What I do agree is that the more harder you work the more luckier you get. So in a way it makes a sense to take these smaller tournaments with a respect. But still this is just a little kittens playing with each others.

Shaun Murphy made it then? He was moaning on Twitter about the Motorway being closed.
