I somehow felt that Trump will lose.

Joe Perry led 7-2 vs Robert Milkins and lost 9-10 in some very ugly snooker collapse

[Monzanator 4,478]

R1 matches are over. Si Jiahui caused an upset by beating Shaun Murphy 10-9 and now he faces Robert Milkins in R2.

[Monzanator 4,478]

Hossein Vafaei is really trying to poke the bear aka Ronnie O'Sullivan. This could end ugly...

 

Nobody breaks off full-throttle in snooker...

You don't want to make Ronnie O'Sullivan angry and he beat Hossein Vafaei 13-2! But apparently the controversy is over given the post-match hugs

 

Elsewhere Jak Jones beat Neil Robertson 13-7 in a clear upset.

That was a good lesson for Hossein, hopefully he learns to speak less and work more. never do trash talking the world #1

John Higgins with a 8-0 whitewash of Kyren Wilson in the first session

QF are set:

 

Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Luca Brecel

Anthony McGill vs Si Jiahui

Mark Allen vs Jak Jones

John Higgins vs Mark Selby

[Monzanator 4,478]

Mark Allen beat Jak Jones 13-10 and Luca Brecel came from 6-10 down to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan 13-10!

[Monzanator 4,478]

Mark Selby beat John Higgins 13-7 but the real drama just finished with Si Jiahui beating Anthony McGill 13-12 in high-tension decider. McGill tried to pot a tricky but close to pocket ball left-handed and misjudged the path as he clipped another ball on the way and Si Jiahui - who had a small lead anyway - took over to build a winning margin. Quite a shock result given nobody gave Si much of a chance to make it into QF and he's into SF.

 

So the SF line-up is:

 

Luca Brecel vs Si Jiahui

Mark Selby vs Mark Allen
