Some crackers today, Lisowski beats Carter 10-9, and Ding v Bingham goes to a decider.

Missed the Lisowski game currently watching the Bing v Ding decider.

Think O'Sullivan will need his A game and a bit more tonight. 10-6 down to Anthony McGill first to 13.

It’ll be a good watch, whilst he’s still got a few frames to play with (if you know what I mean), I’d still fancy ROS, he relishes these situations.

Robertson is getting painful to watch. In one frame today, he was obviously undecided about which red to take. There were four easy reds and he set up behind each one as though he was going to pot them. Then went and got his extension, set up again and then took his extension off. After what seemed like an eternity, he played what seemed to be the obvious one. If Ebdon had done it, everyone would be up in arms.
I once played against Don Revie.

Have said same thing for a long time, if he's winning easy he is fine. Under pressure he slows it to snails pace, gets up and down more than a yoyo.

In the last two frames, McGill suddenly found his earlier form again. 13-12 win.

What a game that was, fair play to McGill, some bottle that, especially after last year v Wilson.

Great game, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing to pull that out in the last two frames, so tough as he must have been mentally scrambled or as John Parrott said spaghetti between the ears.
