Tour Championship

Get so used to comparatively shorter formats, to be hit by this being a bit longer-form is quite something.

Judd recovered from 4-0 down to beat Mark Allen 10-8, ending with a century break of 100 exactly.

Hawkins leads Thepchaiya 5-3 overnight. Wu Yize leads Chris Wakelin 6-2 overnight.

Not sure about Refcam

Chris Wakelin put in an almighty effort to win 8 frames in a row and beat Wu Yize 10-6.

Mark Williams put in almost as almighty an effort as he won 4 frames in a row against John Higgins from 7-2 down to close to 7-6. He also caught Higgins at 8-8 in a classic battle between the old stagers. But it was Higgins who emerged victorious 10-8 after making a winning 52 break in frame 18.

Sadly Hawkins beat Thepchaiya 10-8.

Edit: Thepchaiya's defeat means Ding Junhui will be in the top 16 for the World Championship.

Ding's ability to skip tournaments and yet still somehow bubble at the top of the rankings makes Ronnie look fully committed.

Judd beat Tubbs 10-9 in a thriller!! Both players made 2 centuries and the match went to a decider. Things looked bleak when Tubbs was in first in the decider, but Tubbs broke down on 30, and eventually, Judd made a winning break of 59 to ensure the match finished the right way

Zhao Xintong, who's going for a hattrick after his 2 ranking tournament victories this season came in the Players series, leads Chris Wakelin 5-3 overnight. Neil Robertson leads Hawkins 5-3 overnight.

Good old Judd, but it was a slog.

Zhao Xintong added another 5 centuries to his tally as he decimated Chris Wakelin 10-4. Mark Selby added another century to his tally to go 8-5 up against Higgins, but Higgins won the last 5 frames to win 10-8 and beat Selby by the same score he did in last year's final. Higgins plays Zhao in tomorrow's semi-final.

Neil Robertson renews his rivalry with Judd in tonight's semi-final after Neil himself won the last 4 frames in a row to win 10-8 and put an end to a Hawkins comeback.

Wakelin got found out in the end. Selby-Higgins was another slog.

Judd got off to a flying start and raced into a 6-0 lead. Robertson tried to come back, but for each frame he won, Judd won one back. Quite an easy 10-4 win for Judd in the end.
