Could be over very soon. Wilson is out classing Jones.

I'm just enjoying the match as a bit of light-hearted relief from writing up my judges reports from Saturday's show.

What a brilliant match, really enjoying it. Nail biting stuff. Looked to be a walkover early on but it's looking closer as the frames go on. Some fairly straightforward shots by both players but also some crackers

Watching the prize presentation last night I was amazed to hear Kyren Wilson’s parents had remortgaged their house just to keep him on the professional circuit.
He’s now made over £3million in the last 9 years so it all worked out.
But if you look at his first years as a pro he made £28k.
It’s an amazing thing to do, I wonder how many other families have done that and not been successful.

sad news about the death of Terry Griffiths. He was always one of the good guys, even if he did play slowly by today’s standard.

He was the main threat to Steve Davis in the eighties and he was also a brilliant analyst and very informative to listen to.
I wondered why he had disappeared completely from our screens and didn't realise he suffered from dementia. The third of the Welsh snooker legends to die this year, after Ray Reardon and Doug Mountjoy.

This borders on a love letter at times, and rightly so, The Crucible deserves nothing less.
Pleasing to see a decent article on the Beebs sport pages, when so much of it is meaningless statistical nonsense or AI generated slop just now...

Ronnie vs Higgins starts just after 1900 tonight, hoping it's a high quality match, but I wouldn't at all be surprised about it not living up to the hype.
Wu vs Selby starts tomorrow morning, bit of a clash of styles, Wu was the standout player to me of round one.

Wow. Higgins beat OSullivan.
That is one hell of a come back. I was watching TNT two nights ago and they effectively wrote him off at 6-2 and 9-4.
But he won 12-13.

That was the match of the tournament so far.
