Day One Results:
Sam Craigie bt Zhou Xintong 6-2
Mark Allen bt Jordan Brown 6-4
Kyren Wilson bt Matthew Selt 6-3
Ryan Day by Jimmy White 6-2
I like the Crucible style 2 table set up this year, better than the multi table " cattle pen " style of some tournaments.
Added bonus, Robertson and Higgins are out.
Day Two Results
Joe Perry bt Neil Robertson 6-2
Luca Brecel bt Lyu Haitian 6-4
Tom Ford bt John Higgins 6-4
Ding Junhui bt Barry Hawkins 6-3
I see the BBC are deploying a number of current pros in the commentary box this tournament. Mark Allen the latest tonight and doing a good job.
Day Three Results
Ronnie O'Sullivan bt Matthew Stevens
6-2
Zhou Yuelong bt Yan Bingtao
6-5
Stuart Bingham bt Liam Highfield
6-2
Jamie Clarke bt Mark Williams
6-3
Given that the final 32 are presented as is, it's intriguing to see which names (like Highfield and Clarke) have managed to get through to this premier event.
Day Four Results:
Jack Lisowski bt Xu Si 6-1
Judd Trump bt Xiao Guodong 6-5
Hossein Vafaei bt Mark Selby 6-4

Well done Vafaei
Day Five Results:
