I think Murphy has been looking quite dangerous in this tournament, looks the most likely to win it. Allen has won a lot recently, so likely that he may just fall short this time.

It's a big tournament for me and plenty of others share this view. I'm desperate for Judd to win it. It's a shame he's done crap in it.

Come on Rob 👏👏, just true 100%, the Tour championship should be on the official 2 year list...& if this year's shambolic top 8 at the " 4th major" is as poor as it looks then I'm sure the powers that be will do from next year..... Murphy 🙄

Milkins 4 - 1 up!

Hope Milkins can put Allen away. Allen is seriously so boring. Every single match of his these days is very long and scrappy.

Black ball duel in frame 6...

5-1 👏👏

Yes Milkins

Well done Milkins! It means Williams misses the Players too

How ridiculous is that, I know its based on merit, but bums on seats & seeing the class of 92, & Robbo is surely better than who'll be there

Good win for Milkins

They'll change it next year https://www.eurosport.com/snooker/players-championship/2022-2023/ronnie-o-sullivan-out-of-players-championship-as-event-suffers-huge-blow-amid-mass-cull-of-top-snook_sto9401319/story.shtml

Hope not.

Murphy wins 6-3.

Arsenal, great win today! The Players, then Tour championship won't be as prestigious as they should be due to poor performance, ( I get that) of the top players, so common sense will hopefully prevail

I'll try and put a thread up for the Players championship either today or tomorrow (Not that it will get much interest)

======================================

Yes exactly wetherby, the Tour Championship should be the real top 8 and also the final should be best of 25 again like when Ronnie won it.

Also, it shows the hyopcrisy of Barry Earn who said players can "pick and choose" their events. Well actually they can't pick and choose because if you have 2 or 3 bad tournaments, you are not eligible to play in WGP, PC and TC, so then you need to play more tournaments.

To be fair, a lot fo the top players flopped, but still the pressure to play more tournaments is clear.

Agreed Just true, it's a shame really, & I agree, I really enjoyed that best of 25 match between Ronnie & Robbo...

Come on, Milkins!

Now that's how you steal a frame! Milkins is level at 3-3.

4-4.

Players championship thread is up:

6-5 to Milkins.

7-5 to Milkins. I always feel 7-5 is a dangerous lead but obviously a position you want to be in!
