03/05/2025 12:40 PM
The World Grand Prix has been eventful so far on its debut in Hong Kong, with surprises on and off the table.
Before the event began it was announced that both Ronnie O’Sullivan and Stephen Maguire pulled out due to medical reasons, replaced in the draw by Hossein Vafaei and Ben Woollaston respectively.
There has since been a withdrawal during the event as well, with Jack Lisowski winning his opening match and then pulling out due to personal reasons.
Judd Trump was due to be his opponent in the last 16 but the world number one gets a bye through to the quarter-finals.
On the baize the biggest upset so far has been a win for Jimmy Robertson over former UK Championship and Masters winner Mark Allen.
The Englishman lost the first two frames of the contest but then claimed a quartet on the spin to win 4-2 and progress to face Mark Selby in the second round.
There was also a bizarre scene on the opening night as fans were forced to leave the event before the end of Kyren Wilson’s win over Matt Selt due to a local curfew, although the issue has since been resolved.
The tournament runs until Sunday at the Kai Tak Arena in Hong Kong, when a champion will be crowned in front of a crowd which could be as big as 5,000 people.
