Last 128

Jack Lisowski 4-1 Matt Couch
Jack was clearly the better scorer and made a few good breaks. However he only won one frame in one visit with the highest break of the match, a 69. He clearly wasn’t at his best but he did enough to win comfortably.

Judd Trump 4-0 Vinnie Calabrese
Vinnie was first in with a good chance in the first frame and lead 47-0. But Judd managed to step in and nick the frame. From there the young Australian rookie somehow faded away and Judd won easily despite a highest break of only 70.

Last 64

Anthony Hamilton 4-0 Jack Lisowski
Jack’s highest break in the match was … 11. Enough said. Anthony’s break building was good as it usually is and his safety game matched it. He didn’t give Jack many chances.

Judd Trump 4-0 Mark Joyce
Mark started strongly making a 65 at his first visit in frame 1, only for Judd to steal it with a 67. Judd then made a 94 in the second frame, won the third with 49 and 24 and finished the job with a 113.

Last 32

Judd Trump 3-4 Jimmy Robertson
Judd narrowly lost to Jimmy despite scoring 72 and 125. He came from 1-3 down to force a decider, winning a very close 6th frame by only 2 points, with a good 40 to seal it. The decider was extremely tense – none of the players made any break over 16 – but eventually it was Jimmy who took it on the final colors.
