Third round

Losers receiving 1140 pts.
HENDRY (1) bt Lawler (45) 5-0 Stephen Hendry needed just 77 minutes to whitewash Rod Lawler. In the second frame, he made a superb clearance of 133 right after Lawler's break-off-shot. S DAVIS (2) bt Hamilton (35) 5-1 J Higgins (51) bt WATTANA (3) 5-3 In the first frame, James Wattana made a brilliant 125 clearance, but after that he didn't play at his best and made a lot of errors. HAROLD (19) bt MCMANUS (6) 5-2 Dave Harold made a magnificent break of 140 in the second frame and followed it up with a 113 in frame four. Harold now faces Stephen Hendry, to whom he lost 2-13 in the world championship. O'Sullivan (9) bt DOHERTY (7) 5-3 Michie (76) bt EBDON (10) 5-3 Reigning champion Peter Ebdon surprisingly lost to Jimmy Michie, the world's number 76. Michie played superbly and made breaks of 90, 83 and two 72's! SWAIL (12) bt Brown (-) 5-3 Hicks (33) bt Henderson (119) 5-3

Quarter-finals

HAROLD (19) bt
HENDRY (1) 5-2 Frame scores: 46-67, 110(109)-8, 88(65)-24, 60-18, 91-38, 22-66(52), 67-51 Hicks (33) bt S DAVIS (2) 5-3 Frame scores: 86(51)-46, 100(100)-0, 115(115)-6, 109(109)-4, 20-67, 4-82(70), 12-57, 56-41 After breaks of 51, 100, 115 and 109, Andy Hicks was 4-0 up after only 48 minutes of play. Steve Davis fought back but he couldn't deny Hicks a place in the semi-final. J Higgins (51) bt O'SULLIVAN (9) 5-0 Frame scores: 67-33, 76-54, 85(84)-6, 72(59)-60(52), 97(74)-0 After the match, Ronnie O'Sullivan said: "John was flying and he's cueing so well I think he can win the tournament." SWAIL (12) bt Michie (76) 5-4 Frame scores: 48-59, 68-24, 98(75)-13, 7-72, 63(53)-1, 87-1, 63-73, 56-72, 106(106)-16 This means that Higgins will meet Swail in the first semi-final on Friday. I wonder what the odds for that semi-final-couple was before the tournament started...
