Home Nations £1m tournament

Kyren got it done, 9-3. Fair play, he's really taking the mantle of "world champion" as something to build on. Also he doesn't inspire fierce hatred, which must be a plus.

Superb performance it must be said.

The Scottish Open starts tomorrow in Edinburgh with Gary Wilson looking to make it 3 successive titles.
The last ranking event of 2024 albeit with no Trump or Williams. Door potentially open for someone else to claim an important success.

He's already got beat.

Zhang Anda fended off Stan Moody in a deciding frame 4-3.
Ali Carter beat home favourite Graeme Dott 4-2 while Scott Donaldson was another to perish losing 4-0 to Chris Wakelin. Ryan Day was superb in trouncing Anthony McGill 4-1 while Barry Hawkins also played very well in a 4-2 victory over Alexander Ursenbacher.

World champion Kyren Wilson steamrolled David Grace 4-0 while Ding Junhui claimed another whitewash over Mark Davis.
Big Bob Milkins was dumped out 4-2 by Jackson Page. There were comfortable wins for Mark Selby and Jack Lisowski while Luca Brecel beat Julien Leclerqc in the Belgium Derby via a deciding frame. This evening Shaun Murphy has progressed with a 4-0 win over Daniel Wells.

Could this be the week Ding finally bothers trying to win his first HN event? Ditto Lisowski.

Maguire! 4 Kyren Wilson 2 . 128 break in the final frame

Lisowski 4 Si Jiahui 0. 101 break in the 3rd frame

Ding 4 jackson Page 2. No century from Ding, but a 98 in the 1st frame.

Booooooo .
Sooner he gets dumped out the better .

Elsewhere Mark Allen overcame Ryan Day 4-2 and Luca Brecel showed signs of better form in beating Zhou Yuelong 4-1. The tables are playing nicely which is helping produce a really excellent standard of play.
This evening Barry Hawkins edged out home favourite John Higgins 4-3.
Hawkins will face Wu Yize next after he beat Ishpreet Singh Chadha 4-2.

Lei Peifan 4 Tubbs 3

Sadly the Craptain and the Hawk both won. Fantastic 4-2 victory for Noppon Saengkham over Mark Selby, making a 134 break in the last frame.
