True to form, Ronnie wastes little time in potting the red as he goes on to make a break of 94 and take a 2 frames to none lead.

Mcleod would win the second frame to level the score, but then in a battle for the black he gets a bit eager and leaves Trump with an easy finish into the side pocket and 2 frames to 1 lead. “It was still a great experience out there as always but I was just disappointed”.
“My game’s in a good place, I’m in a good place and I’m really enjoying life at the moment”, said Lisowski.
O’Sullivan will now play the world No1, Mark Selby, who saw off the former world champion Mark Williams 4-2. “At least they’ve had a 147 this week…and a 146”.
Reigning champion John Higgins continued to look solid as he ended Michael Georgiou’s run of defeating higher ranked players with a comfortable 4-1 victory, including a century break in the first frame.
“To be honest with you I didn’t like that because of the manner in which he won the frame”, added White.
Ding Junhui went where Ronnie O’Sullivan refused to go as he swept to a brilliant 147 in his Welsh Open quarter-finals against Neil Roberston on Friday.
“Sitting here this morning, I probably wish I got the 147 and kept everyone happy and not had all this”.
Robertson and O’Sullivan were later joined in the semi-finals by Mark Allen and Joe Perry.
“I’m really pleased with my performance especially as it’s early in the morning”, said Higgins.
“Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I get it wrong, but over the course my career I’d like to think I get it right more times than wrong”. “I was just trying to play the balls the way I like and it’s always nice to take them”.
But it soon became clear that proud record was set to go up in smoke as O’Sullivan produced a devastating display of snooker. I’ve been practising a lot for this tournament and had a pretty good match there, so if I keep doing what I’m doing then I’ll turn those games into wins.

“It’s disappointing because I had massive expectations and I’d like to apologise to everyone from Wales who came to support me tonight because I didn’t put up any sort of a fight”.
