I know someone more pleased

A pity about Milkins, but it gives someone else a chance. Not a pity about Bingham, or even Maguire, if I'm that honest.

I'm still totally pissed on drinking all the celebratory champagne .

Anyway, time to move on to judgement day 1 updates.

Zak Surety will play at the Crucible for the first time after trouncing Ricky Walden 10-3. Well done to him.
Chris Wakelin has seen off Martin O'Donnell 10-2 to also qualify.
Zhou Yuelong has made it through beating Yuan Sijun 10-5.
The seeds will all want to avoid Zhou Xintong after he came through 10-8 against a gritty Elliot Slessor.
Ryan Day will return to the home of snooker after seeing through a 10-5 win over Sunny Akani.
The very lucky husband of Tatiana Woollaston has made it to The Crucible with a 10-4 victory over Ross Muir. Congratulations to Ben.
2024 semi finalist Dave Gilbert recovered impressively from 3-7 and 7-9 down to beat Aaron Hill 10-9.
Biggest casualty of judgement day one is Gary Wilson as he suffered a deciding frame defeat to Welshman Daniel Wells.

Mostly good stuff there then. Not just Zhao, but Zhou should make a tough challenge too. Woollaston hasn't been to the Crucible too often before, so that's nice.
