Tour Championship

The longer matches will provide good practice ahead of The Crucible for any players that win at least one match.

Xiao battled through 10-8, which apparently means Jak Jones will be seeded in Sheffield, if I understood it correctly, and let's not take a vote on that...

Yes, all 16 seeds for the Crucible are now known with Jak being the 16th seed. The seed order may change a little by the end of the tournament though. Wu misses out and will have to qualify.

Mark Williams contact lenses didn't work out for him on this occasion as Ding trounced him 10-3. I thought Selby would have beaten Si Jiahui by now, but Si still stubbornly hanging on, and he's ahead in the the 15th frame as he tries to close to 9-6.

The seeding number changes have the potential to dictate which halves of the draw players go into so could be hugely important looking ahead.
