Now that we are done with the Riga Masters Qualifiers, let’s immediately move onto the World Open Qualifiers!
A quick round up of the Riga Masters Qualifiers first though. There are not to many surprises. Zhao Xintong, Stephen Maguire and Neil Robertson prove to be the top scorers over the past few days. Other impressive wins include Ollie Lines against Sunny Akani and Scott Donaldson against Noppon Saengkham. The biggest shock however, was Niu Zhuang whitewashing Stuart Bingham 4-0. Amateur David Lilley gained revenge from being beaten in Q School by reinstated-professional Hammad Miah by reversing the scoreline at 4-2. Also, Lukas Kleckers won a match, which is a lovely Brucie Bonus!
Gutted with my result last night but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
On a positive, it only can get better! Lol.
