RESULTS LAST 16

MARK ALLEN 6-3 JOHN HIGGINS

This was a very close match as no one had more than a 1 frame lead until Allen led by 5 frames to 3. Higgins hit the final red with 15 reds and 15 blacks but he could not get the power on the shot so he had to hit a long yellow which he missed. Allen hit a century in the match also.

DING JUNHUI 3-6 JOE PERRY

This was the shock of the week so far as Ding Junhui lost to surprise package Joe Perry. With Perry hitting breaks of 79 and 104 he proved that there was no sense of fear in his mind as he looked strong. Junhui was missing some simple pots and did not look like himself

PREDICTIONS QUARTER FINALS

RONNIE O SULLIVAN V MARCO FU

If Ronnie is at his brilliant best no one can beat him. My question is where his head is at today. He is getting better at that so I would go with him for that reason he is more likely to win but Marco can make this a very close match and I would say Ronnie by less than 2 frames.  

ALI CARTER V NEIL ROBERTSON

We have no real sense of form to where Ali carter is at this moment in time as he has been out of snooker for quite a while . This could go either way but I would go with Robinson as he has had the match experience and I feel that it will be close.
