Saturday 20th of April~Monday 6th of May at The Crucible Theatre, SheffieldAs usual no morning play on the first Thursday of the event. At 1pm Ali Carter has a narrow 5-4 v Jack Lisowski, whilst the Last 16 begins for two former champions here, 2005 Shaun Murphy and 2010 Neil Robertson. Amazingly, it's been 4 years since their last big match, the 2015 Masters Final when Murphy thrashed Robertson 10-2.
In the evening, last year's semi-finalist Kyren Wilson holds a 6-2 lead over debutant Scott Donaldson, whilst 3 times World Champion Mark Selby faces a rematch of his 2015 China Open final with Gary Wilson.
Best of 25s from now in the Last 16 and Quarter-Finals.

Strange to realise that Robertson and Murphy haven't faced each other in a serious event since 2015 Masters Final.

I was thinking this the other day.
I had to check their head to head.
I didn't remember them playing each other that often.

I was at that final. I remarked at the time I think the reason Robbo was off that day was because he was booed as he entered the arena. A good majority bought tickets to see Ronnie in the final and he shattered those dreams the day before in the semis. I think he was shocked by that.

I remember that time Robertson lay the smack down on Ronnie.
John Parrott was gutted afterwards.

Shocking behaviour from the Ronnietarts.

I remember that one. Didn’t that also happen to Bingham when he played Judd in the 2015 World Championship?

Jack did well to come out 5-4 down last night. Still expect Carter to win but I’ll be delighted to be proved wrong.

Rooting for Jack today, can't say I'm too bothered about the others and the darts is on tonight so may give it a miss.

We should boo Robertson for not being motivated.

Must have been a shock for Robertson to be the 'heel' in a match with Shaun Murphy.

I very rarely want Murphy to win, but I’m really hoping he beats Assange.

I find it interesting how many people dislike Robbo. Never really understood why.

For me he is the king of passing the buck. I never saw worse player who blames his own poor play on other things like the crowd, arena, noise, table etc. So annoying but he is who he is and i've never like him.

I’d like Donaldson to win but I don’t see him fighting back having lost the last couple of frames.
I’m hoping Robbo wins as I have money on him.
I’m not bothered about the other matches.

I can't stand Murphy, and whilst I'm fairly neutral towards Robbo I find the latter to have a more palatable personality.
