Williams 2-2 Allen
There was an issue yesterday during the first match when Wu Yize rolled a pink along the top cushion in the third frame of his 6-2 victory over Shaun Murphy.
Six-time world champion Steve Davis was critical of the conditions and said at the time: “I don’t want to put a dampener on it, it’s January isn’t it, that pink along the cushion, the way Wu Yize played it, he knows the table is not level and was going to hug the top rail.
“I don’t know if they do, but the table fitters need to check the level of the slate because if the balls are hugging the top rail it’s going to make the game incredibly easy to make big breaks. It is not the size of the pockets, which we had at the UK, this looks like it’s not level.”
A statement from World Snooker Tour said: “The table is checked before, during and after every match, as is standard at any event. We strive to provide the best possible playing conditions and our team of expert table fitters do a fantastic job.”
We have just seen a similar situation in the match between Mark Williams and Mark Allen, but this time the red does not roll successfully along the top cushion.
“The table fitters have fixed the problem,” said former world champion Ken Doherty on commentary.
