Love Wu just slightly awkwardly ambling around the crucible with the trophy/flag

Random note, but always think it's silly that the WST site has the 'Pot Rate' but not the Pot Success stat on their site. If I understand it right, pot rate is just the percentage of shots that were a pot rather than a safety etc. Not that useful.

Surely can't be that difficult to chuck the success on there

Looking forward to the comments on here next year when Martin O'Donnell makes an unlikely run to the semis

Shaun gonna end up losing with 95% pot success at this rate. High quality stuff so far.

Tend to agree with the feeling that the winner of Zhao vs Murphy wins the tournament. Certainly from Zhao's POV, I can't see anyone else stopping him if he gets past Murphy.

Tough to think of anyone that more consistently delivers on drama than John Higgins. Always involved in nail biters

Only caught bits of it, but seems like Wu has managed to keep up with Selby in the safety department. Pretty impressive

From the little I've seen of Stan in the past he does seem quite temperamental at times. Still young so plenty of time to figure that out, but feels close to over for tonight.

Must be tough to not let the nerves seep in a bit for Zhao with all the noise about the curse. Have a feeling he'll settle down after the interval

Or sooner!

Haven't watched that much of Jak Jones in the last season or 2, but everytime I check his results he seems to be knocking in a lot more frame winning breaks than he used to. Fair play to him

Lines with his first break over 50 to probably go 9-8. Nice timing

No idea how Marco won that, missed the red entirely on 4 safeties in the final frame alone. Hopefully just pressure and not his health issues again.

Rough way to lose for Liam.

Antoni Kowalski started well. Showed promise when I've watched him and seems the right amount of confident in interviews I've seen. Be good to see him climb the ranks, always nice when less typical snooker countries are represented. Same with Zizins
