    One of the matches of the tournament so far will reach its conclusion today - but who will progress to the quarter-final?

    Kyren Wilson's bout with Mark Allen has been back and forth throughout.

    From Allen seemingly cruising to victory at 0-5, Wilson then racked up six frames in a row to take the lead before the Northern Irishman restored parity for himself on Friday evening to take a two frame lead into today's final session.

    You'd be a brave man to stick your neck out and predict who is taking this one but one thing is for sure, the tie must be settled today.

  3. Robertson out for revenge

    Former world champion Neil Robertson begins his second round today against the man that knocked him out in round one of last year, Chris Wakelin.

    World number 13 Wakelin claimed his first ever crucible win in 2025 against the Australian and will be looking to do the same today in order to reach a second consecutive quarter-final.

    Robertson on the other hand will be wanting to right the wrongs of last year and put himself on course for the crown that has evaded him since 2010.

    The Aussie had a nervy start in round one against Pang Junxu before eventually pulling away from 5-5 to take a 10-6 win.

    And it was the same scoreline for Wakelin, who was able to see off fellow Englishman and young crucible debutant Liam Pullen and set up today's tie against Robertson.
