Yep, miserable. BBC has also made some odd decisions on which matches are shown live on BBC 1, 2 and 4 too. About 20 minutes of Selby V Allen match live prior to the the last 2 frames of that game was one I found particularly odd

Day Eleven.

There have been some errors for sure but Wilson has played decent match snooker to claw back to 8-8. Robertson could have run away with it but Wilson doggedly stifled the momentum and has given himself a chance.

Wilson did indeed do well, as did McGill.

Kyren Wilson has stormed into the semi finals.
A five frame unanswered salvo this morning has sealed a surprise 13-8 victory over Neil Robertson.
Wow .

Meanwhile Mark Selby has thrashed Mark Williams 13-3 with a session to spare.

Wilson had shaved to try and look less like a weasel. Robbo might want to consider a haircut himself. I wouldn't put it past him to try a mohawk before he's done. They reckoned he'd never even made the semi-finals since 2010, which is pathetic if true.

Stuart Bingham has recovered from 7-9 down to beat Anthony McGill 13-12 and book a semi final against Mark Selby.

He's definitely under achieved for his talent and he's never come close to winning again which is pathetic. But I think they're wrong about his semi final record. Lost to Selby in the semis in 2014 if I remember right. Played Trump in the round before where he made his 100 century of the season.

Shaun Murphy held his nerve in the face of a Judd Trump onslaught to claim a 13-11 victory and set up a clash with Kyren Wilson.

Semi finals: (Best of 33 frames)

Mark Selby (4) v Stuart Bingham

Kyren Wilson (6) v Shaun Murphy (7)
