The UK Championship quarter-finals are upon us and it is set to be a blockbuster day at the Barbican in York, with Ronnie O’Sullivan among those in action on Friday. The Rocket is aiming for his record-extending eighth title but first has to overcome Chinese star Zhou Yuelong for a place in the final four.
O’Sullivan is first up and will be hoping for a better day than Thursday, despite defeating Robert Milkins. He won on the deciding frame but insisted he “stunk it out” and uncharacteristically missed several simple shots which he would have expected to put away.
Hossein Vafaei takes on Zhang Anda at the other table at 1.00pm and the Iranian star could potentially rekindle his rivalry with the Rocket if he progresses to the semi-finals.
Later on this evening, Mark Williams will battle Ding Junhui and Mark Selby takes on Judd Trump in what is sure to be another exciting day of snooker in store.
