The Masters

Not so much a Juddernaut today. Wilson was 3-0 up but Judd profited from Wilson's decline in form after the interval to go 5-3 up. Wilson got it back to 5-5 but Judd won a close deciding frame to go through to the quarter finals.

Robertson could do with swatting Hawkins aside, but I suspect he won't.

Barry Hawkins surged into a 4-1 lead before Robertson rallied to trail only 4-3.
But Hawkins pulled away again to win 6-3 and set up a clash with Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Watching the closing stage, with Hawkins 60 points and 2 frames ahead, Robertson looked a pale shadow of his ability.

Murphy, Carter, Hawkins... shaping up to be one of those weeks

Mark Allen is through to the quarter finals after a drawn out struggle to beat John Higgins 6-5.

Tonight it's Mark Selby v Robert Milkins.

The Milkins walk on music is always superb .

from 3-2 down, Ronnie won the last 4 frames in a row to beat Hawkins 6-3. Hawkins was 50-0 up in the last frame, but Ronnie produced a fantastic 77 clearance which included a brilliant long pot on the last red!

Strange old match that one.
Ronnie was going for lots but making errors.
Barry not going for so much but also making errors. It was a bodgefest at times.
One of those matches where you just get the win and forget about it.

In the evening Shaun Murphy was too strong for Jack Lisowski in eventually sealing a 6-3 win to set up a semi final with O'Sullivan.

Fingers crossed Murphy gets panned.

Lisowski a bit like Robertson the other night. He more capable than most of stepping it up, but somehow never manages it.
