Only the 2nd whitewash in a ranking event final over 2 session, the other being Steve Davies in 1989
All the work was done by Neil earlier today taking a 8-0 lead into tonight, he probably didn't want a couple of hours break and I am guessing neither did Zhou, but they came back and only it only took 1 more frame tonight for Neil to wrap up the win0 -

Should be an interesting event again as whilst some big names like Trump, Williams, Murphy and Robertson are there a number of top players actually lost in the qualifying rounds
Defending Champion Kyren Wilson lost to Zhao Xintong
Mark Selby long to Jamie Rhys Clarke
Bingham, Maguire, Allen, Carter and Lisowski all entered and all lost in the qualifying rounds
Add to that we have now already lost Ding and Higgins0 -
What is your opinion of Donaldson? I think out of the new breed/ upcoming players he looks the most ready to break into the top 16. Has some good scalps, including Ding in this event. A good player, had potential for a while but seems to be getting more consistent.
This one will be wide open, quite a few of the top players missing it. The atmosphere/ crowd doesn't seem as busy as normal, I am sure this is one in the past I was looking to go to but feels like they have lost the initial momentum. I dread to think what Saudi Arabia is going to be like

Scott Donaldson I agree is finally starting to show something.
Into the top 25 and could get higher after this event, consistency had always been his issue, remember when he beat Selby a few seasons ago then lost in the next round, playing poorly to someone ranked below him.
But he seems to have found some consistency this season and is only 24
Shaun Murphy up next for him so will be a very good test for him1 -
I think The German Masters might pick up a bit now it's been rebranded, not sure if I mentioned this before the start of the European Masters last week but
The European Masters
The German Masters
The Snooker Shootout
The Gibraltar Open
Now makeup The European Series
Whoever is top on order of merit and the end of the 4 events gets a bonus £150,000
Neil Robertson has already said he is likely to play in the Shootout this year because of it2 -

Wow I didn't even realise he was so high, I think I said on twitter a few months ago when he was like 50 ranked. A funny one, he seems more of a grafter and always worth a shock. Hard to call these events personally but I hope he does well.0 -

Is the shootout still considered a ranking event then? If so, joke. Completely different game might aswell be playing pool lol0 -

£10,000 away from 22nd who is Jimmy Robertson and obviously not there this week, he is still £50,000 away from Thepchaiya in 21st so a bit of a gap there but, he is closing it1 -

Shocking really, I know we have mentioned it before but its stupid and hopefully it doesn't affect the top 16 too much, like it did before. I actually think the 6 Reds has more claim to being a ranking event, even though I agree it shouldn't be.Not sure when the Shootout is, but it would be better if they had it as the first event. That way you are more likely to get all the top players there, or even literally the first event of the season so there is no argument about affecting the rankings too much as its early.
Either way, I enjoy the Shootout but it should never count towards ranking points.

Terrible news for Mark Selby and Barry Hawkins
The 2020 China Championship has been postponed due to the Coronavirus
I say its terrible for those 2 in particular because in those were the finalists in 2018 so they will lose the ranking points off £225,00 and £90,000 respectively with no way of them back before the World Championships.
The seedlings for the World Championships will now be based on the rankings after the Coral Tour Championship in March
