Peifan has thrown it away.
Will he get another chance

final frame shoot out.

Don't mind how it's done, just get it wrapped up before 'the thing' comes on.

First game of the tournament goes to a final frame decider. Got to be happy with that

Whose thing?

Huge shock for day 1. Thought Wilson had fought back but Peifan deserved it in the end.

Mark Allen, all of a sudden, becomes raging hot favourite to make the semi-final from quadrant 1. With Wilson gone and Robertson teetering, that's as handy a draw as the Crucible allows.

Those two scorelines also imply that the O'Sullivan/Selby quadrant is now even more suggestive of the final outcome of this tournament. The top half has just swung hugely in favour of the big two.

 

[Buckers]

Some of these players I only want to remain in the tournament to avoid them transitioning to punditry too early. Namely Wilson and Murphy. Especially Murphy, praying to all the gods he can make it through to the semis.

Not for the punditry reason but sad Milks didn’t make it this year.

So, last year's winner out, the runner up in deep doo doo. Jak Jones 6-1 down to Zhao Xintong, who's playing top notch.
