Tubs Murphy lost to Li Hang Yan Bingtao also got humbled.

Ronnie was pushed to a decider by Liang Wenbo, and has also been mouthing off again.

Ronnie got through another decider with Jamie Jones. Selby and Trump lost in deciders.

A few odd names in the quarter-finals... Li Hang... Matthew Selt... Stephen Maguire

GOOD NEWS for Snooks - Maguire got turned over by McGill. Ronnie was pushed by Li Hang but still prevailed.

Gilbert got a 3-0 lead over Higgins but still lost 5-3. Higgins plays Ronnie next.

McGill meets Brecel who at least has carried over his form from last week.

Higgins - Brecel in a Loser vs Loser match

Luca did the business, leading 5-1 and then 8-2 before John rallied. Pleased to catch Foulds bringing up that Scottish Open final 5 years back when John led Marco Fu 4-1 and then Fu won 8 in a row. Has he dropped off the tour too?

Anyway, Luca got it finished, so well done. Amazed he's only 26 he seems to have been around ages.

John Higgins keeps on losing finals repeatedly this season. Very strange.

Always to different blokes, though. At this rate he'll finish #1 in the rankings even with winning nowt.

It shows great resilience to keep pushing that hard though.
