I like his cue action but also at some point I'm hoping Luca will learn to beat these guys.

Good fightback but left it too late.

Well played Hamilton - this run could secure his tour card for another year.
Hard lines for Luca - gave us another entertaining match.

Shame for the tournament as a Luca win would have provided an impetus in the Low countries and the crowd were with him. It would be lovely to see snooker get a grip on Northern Europe and Luca is the one who can do it. He needs to win the WC and then he would inspire others to follow.

I don't mind. At least he's an old player that actually scores.
Plus sometimes, Luca needs lesson in snooker to wipe the smug look off his face.

Robbo winning the WC didnt exactly attract many followers to Snooker nor did it meant having another good player from Australia, however I do think if someone like Luca won the WC the story would be different.

Fair point I suppose but the interest from Oz had already been established in the 70s and was waning by the time of Robertson's win. We did have that lad last year from Oz but he struggled.
Northern Europe is a new market and I think Luca has the personality to appeal.

Hamilton next for Jack. Pengfei or Perry in the semis. No excuses anymore.
Needs to get to the final and hopefully win it.

A gorgeous 92 to wrap up the match from Jack!
His snooker is a joy to watch. He reminds me of the artist who presented with a rough piece of rock declares it to be a beautiful statue just needing the excess stone chipped away.
Tonight Jack set about the table with the touch of a Gaugin, exploiting a sumptuous range of colours to achieve his end. His cue is his brush, his imagination his pallet. Jack pots balls with the touch of an angel, and seduces the cueball to trace arcs of serene beauty across the baize. The coldest heart would soften and melt in the presence of this young pretender as he signs his latest canvas. Wonderful!
This man should be the future of our sport

Australia's pretty isolated whereas Luca's win might have an effect across the continent, so it could be more significant.
A WC win is a looooong way away for him though.

typical Ronnie style comeback by Brecel.
0-3 down, 3 in a row to force a decider. First chance in the decider by potting a cracking long red. And then bucks up the following black off its spot.
wasted another chance afterwards.
