Robertson and O'Sullivan entered Last 16

Ronnie has three straight victories with only throwing one frame away in fourteen frames he played today. He first shattered Anthony Hamilton 4-1 with a ton to complete his revenge for his defeat in Shanghai Masters in September, then defeated Adam Wicheard 4-1 and finally  whitewashed Andrew Norman with 105, 68, 56. Ronnie played some exhibition shots to entertain and mesmerize the Belgian crowd - it tells that he is in a good shape although he hates PTCs .

Robertson started off the day with an easy 4-0 win over Mario Wehrmann followed by a meeting with Chinese player Cao Yupeng which he eventually won 4-2. Robertson faced adversity in his last 32 match against Kurt Maflin - He was 1-3 behind the Norway player but cameback to beat him 4-3 with 58 in decider.

Fighter Dotty

Graeme Dott won three deciders in a row that all of them were come backs. Dott is a fighter, he was 1-3 down to Peter Ebdon in his opening match but won 4-3. The second match he displayed tremendous comeback, losing the three frames before winning four in a row to through to next round. Last but not least he defeated Andrew Higginson 4-3 from 1-3 down.
