He can't win really. Even if he gets Lisowski in the final, he'd be crushed if he lost.
Even with his smirk, it's good that Lisowski is improving. Selby v Allen in the final would seem a bit old-hat.
Selby beat Gilbert 6-1
Lisowski beat Allen 6-5
Selby slagged Gilbert afterwards, but the guy got further than 120+ others. It's all well for them to go "how can you be a top 16 player without winning anything?" but if he keeps making quarters, semis and finals, then that's how. It's a living, I assume.
Pleased for Lisowski, hope he smirks his way to glory tonight.
Yeah I hope Lisowski wins too.
10-0 will do
Glad Lisowski made a good go of it, but Selby still won.
Welsh Open starts today, last HN event of the season.
Dave Gilbert was among the many exits on Day 1.
Trump, Robertson, Ronnie and Mark Williams all remain, though Bazza Hawkins got whitewashed.
A lot of big guns remaining going into the Welsh Open quarter finals.
The draw:
Neil Robertson v Kyren Wilson
Ronnie O'Sullivan v Mark Selby
Yan Bingtao v John Higgins
Judd Trump v Shaun Murphy
No real shock names this time round.
