UK Championships

Day Six Results:

Ding Junhui bt Jamie Clarke 6-1
Shaun Murphy bt Judd Trump 6-5
Jack Lisowski bt Hossein Vafaei 6-2
Joe Perry bt Stuart Bingham 6-3

Joe Perry looks to be cueing really nicely.
He was clinical tonight in his win over Bingham which proves his win over Neil Robertson was no one off.

Even better, it means Bingham's gone out.

I see Tubs Murphy is complaining about his neck pain (a literal one, not just a metaphorical one). He had a good rage at Ronnie too, claiming he grew up in wealth (?) unlike Tubs no doubt. Maybe Murphy Snr should have gone to prison, that's where lil Tubs went wrong? I can't say I approve of the O'Sullivan business model either, but it seems a desperate swing to me.

Ding dong, Ronnie's gone

Ding is no longer intimidated by O'Sullivan and today it showed. Ruthless and clinical.
Close cue ball control immaculate.

Meanwhile Tom Ford overcame Joe Perry 6-4 in a high quality encounter to seal his semi final place.

Bloody hilarious. I'm as happy as Snooks gets whenever Stephen Maguire loses

Ding-Lisowski final?

If Murphy ever plays Maguire can we arrange it so one loses and the other one gets disqualified?

If Lisowski and Ding keep playing the way they have been then it looks a distinctly possible final.
However you just never know.

Mark Allen is the last man through to the semi finals after battling past Sam Craigie 6-4.
