Judd Trump 4-0 Chris Wakelin
66-22, 105(105)-0, 79(79)-7, 75(75)-11
Judd looked very strong except maybe n the long potting department, but fair to say Chris didn’t put him under pressure at all.
Dominic Dale 4-1 Liang Wenbo
100(100)-22, 127(51,76)-0, 35-59, 61-39, 87(70)-58
Neil Robertson 3-4 Alan McManus

This was actually a very good match to watch. Neil missed the 15th red for a maximum in frame 5. Alan’s tactical nous is good as ever and a very positive attitude in the decider was key to his victory. Shame for Neil who sees his defence come to an early end.
Mark Joyce 1-4 Zhang Anda
4-78, 72-34, 32-82, 7-66(66), 4-84(84)
And another good win for Anda.

75(75)-0, 0-145(137), 72(63)-7, 64-56, 0-83(55), 47-63, 88(88)-13
Judd is through to the final day, but Steve Davis gave him a stern test. The veteran Legend still has it, as he showed with a great 137, the only century of the match.
David Gilbert 3-4 Zhang Anda
69-47, 65-73, 26-79, 71-18, 57-42, 50-79(60), 8-65
And yet another very good win for Anda! And how close that was!
