That last frame won by Robertson could be a biggie . Milkins blew a commending position ,
Jimmy Robertson has taken the opening frame of the session against number 7 seed Mark Williams to narrow the gap to 7-3.
On the other table former champion John Higgins has taken the first frame in his game against lightening quick Thai Thepchaiya Un-Nooh.
Higgins leads 3-1 at the mid-session interval, Williams leads 9-4 and needs one more to progress.
Williams wins 10-5 and faces a date with Neil Robertson or Robert Milkins in round 2.
Higgins leads 4-2.
Higgins has 6 reds and 6 blacks so far in the 8th frameā¦
impressive from mark Williams so far in the wc, heās having a really strong season and could be a real contender
Heās fluked the 9th red, this could be Cliff Thorburn all over again.
10 reds and 10 blacksā¦
The 147 attempt ends on the 14th red.
robertson wins a scrappy first frame to trail 6-4.
Neil Robertson pinches a very scrappy opening frame on the black that he always looked second favourite in. Cuts his deficit to 4-6.
Milkins will be kicking himself, he threw that away.
Trump leads Wakelin 2-0 in the early stages of their game.
milkins is probably used to losing a lot of scrappy frames tho hopefully it doesnāt affect him too much!
For a player of the calibre of Robertson, he is playing absolutely brutal here.
terrible miss there by him ācould easily beat milkins tho as is bound to get lots of chances,
6-5 now for milkins poor standard .
smug trump is leading 3-1

this milkins really is an all or nothing type player. should be 7-5 but he breaks down after 56. robbo misses a simple red tho and leaves milikins back in!
The standard so far in this Championship seems to be terrible.
The Hawkins Carrington match and the Brecel Walden matches were awful.
yea they were terrible alright. this robbo milkins match is poor stuff too plenty of mistakes. milkins in with a gilt edged chance of going 8-5 in front but i wouldnt be betting on it!
3-2 now to trump ā¦this wakelin isnāt a bad player just knocked in a 141 clearance!
