Some pretty bad misses that frame from each, Robbo's unmissable black off the spot when just a couple of pots from the winning ling being the most significant. 2-1 MJW.

After a really good start, this is turning into a bit of a $hit show. All kinds of misses, mistakes and things just generally going wrong....
Robbo level at the mid-sesh, 2-2.

MJW blows a really good chance to lay a high tariff snooker that he needs on the pink, leaving a very makeable one instead, which Robbo duly did. MJW ultimately fouls and Robbo goes 4-2 up.

(I do think there's a slight chance that Ronnie might go easy on her based on his comments after the mixed doubles, and the fact he's playing in her backyard)

Marco misses another black off the spot at the start of frame #2, JB misses a red to middle on 50, Marco clears, including a very good pink off the penultimate red. 1-1.

Horrific frame from Marco. Awful opening shot (from which JB missed an ambitious plant), simple red missed (and stuck), black off the spot missed....
But he still wins it, 4-4.

Excellent red to the middle to keep the break going on 48 after playing an awful positional shot. Misses frame ball, though. JB gets no position off his opening red, misses the black he had to take, sticks a red and concedes.
5-5! We have a W!

Credit where credit is due, considering this is by far the biggest match Marco's had for years, he's taken these superbly. Wins 6-5 with a BT and is on a BM.

Eurosport is usually pretty crap at showing the business end of tournaments, BM (too many other priorities on a weekend). It'll be on here on Live Video if you're deasperate to watch it.

Robbo does a great job of getting back into a frame he trailed by 50 odd and with the balls in a horrible position, but he breaks down on the brown, and Ronnie eventually prevails. 4-3 Robbo.

Hey G! Hope you're well, mate?! Two crackers, for sure, though I had a mis-click on the Ronnie match and gave away more of my Ronnie green than I intended to at nearly twice the market price at the time The Fu match made the other early starts worthwhile, though!
Final could be interesting, but whereas Marco had a v strong winning record v JB, the same cannot be said v Ronald.
Scottish Qs start tomorrow, too!

It probably is on Discovery - I was talking about not being on a "normal" TV channel. That's bound to affect liquidity (I haven't looked yet as I am concentrating on the cricket atm)

Ronnie playing with a lot of freedom. Not sure if it's the easy table or the fact he doesn't fancy Marco to stamp down if he gets his foot on his throat. Two scoring visits yield a 3-1 lead at the mid-sesh.

Ronnie misses a couple of long ones, leaves Marco in, but Marco plays an awful positional shot on 15, leaves the cueball over the black spot, and, with all other spots covered, leaves himself unable to get to the "on" reds....

Ronnie catches the blue on a safety and is soooo lucky not to leave Marco in. Marco pushes a red into the jaws of a pocket off his next shot and Ronnie has a start.
