Today's World Championship results: Neil Robertson 10-4 Nigel Bond Stephen Lee 4-10 Joe Swail Ali Carter 10-9 Barry Hawkins Peter Ebdon 10-9 Jamie Cope
Stephen Hendry 3-6 Mark Allen Ryan Day 5-4 Michael Judge
Stephen Lee revealed he is considering retiring following his loss to Joe Swail. The result means Lee will drop out of the top 16 after 11 years.
Ali Carter and Barry Hawkins had to wait to play the deciding frame of their match after being forced to leave the arena with the match tied at 9-9. With less than half an hour until the start of the evening session, they were told they'd have to come back later in the evening to complete the match. Hawkins had fought his way back from 9-6 down to force the decider. The final frame was played following the conclusion of the Lee-Swail match.

Monday's results: Ryan Day 10-6 Michael Judge Stephen Hendry 10-9 Mark Allen Steve Davis 8-10 Stuart Bingham
Mark Selby 5-4 Mark King Mark Williams 8-1 Mark Davis
Hendry's match with Allen was the best of the tournament so far. Allen resumed 6-3 up but Hendry won the first 3 frames of the session to level at 6-6. Allen then led 9-7 but Hendry won 3 in a row again to go through. The result means Allen will probably just miss out on a place in the top 16.
Steve Davis fought back from 8-3 down against Stuart Bingham to level at 8-8 but Bingham held his nerve to win 10-8. With Davis definitely out of the top 16, it's possible this may have been his last Crucible appearance, though he has dropped out before and fought his way back up the rankings.
Updated draw: John Higgins 10-5 Matthew Stevens Ryan Day 10-6 Michael Judge Ding Junhui v Marco Fu Stephen Hendry 10-9 Mark Allen Ronnie O'Sullivan v Liu Chuang Mark Williams v Mark Davis Stephen Lee 4-10 Joe Swail Ken Doherty v Liang Wenbo Shaun Murphy v Dave Harold Ali Carter 10-9 Barry Hawkins Mark Selby v Mark King Peter Ebdon 10-9 Jamie Cope Neil Robertson 10-4 Nigel Bond Stephen Maguire v Anthony Hamilton Steve Davis 8-10 Stuart Bingham Graeme Dott v Joe Perry

Today's results: Mark Selby 8-10 Mark King Mark Williams 10-3 Mark Davis Ding Junhui 10-9 Marco Fu
Graeme Dott 4-5 Joe Perry Shaun Murphy 7-2 Dave Harold
The 2nd round draw is taking shape now...
John Higgins v Ryan Day Ding Junhui v Stephen Hendry O'Sullivan/Liu v Mark Williams Joe Swail v Doherty/Liang Murphy/Harold v Ali Carter Mark King v Peter Ebdon Neil Robertson v Maguire/Hamilton Stuart Bingham v Dott/Perry
Ding v Hendry should be an awesome match, as should Ronnie v Williams, assuming Ronnie beats Liu Chuang.

Today's results: Graeme Dott 7-10 Joe Perry Shaun Murphy 10-3 Dave Harold Ken Doherty 5-10 Liang Wenbo
Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-4 Liu Chuang Stephen Maguire 8-1 Anthony Hamilton
Ken Doherty's defeat means he will drop out of the top 16. Joe Swail should make it in if he reaches the quarter-finals. Stuart Bingham can also make it into the top 16 but he needs to go further in the tournament than Swail, or get to the semi-finals. Mark Williams probably has to reach the semi-finals to stay in the top 16. If all three went out in the second round, Mark Allen would probably get the last top 16 spot, despite going out in the first round.
Stephen Maguire won the first 8 frames of his match against Anthony Hamilton but Hamilton won the final frame of the session to avoid becoming only second player to suffer a whitewash at the Crucible.

John Higgins 9-13 Ryan Day What happened there? Higgins seemed to lose it mentally during the second session and never really recovered. He wasn't happy with the table at all. Ryan Day is playing very well, though.

Yesterday's scores: Shaun Murphy 4-13 Ali Carter
Neil Robertson 0-8 Stephen Maguire Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-3 Mark Williams
Murphy's shock exit means he is unlikely to finish the season as world #1. Whoever, out of O'Sullivan and Maguire, goes furthest in the tournament will end the season at #1 in the rankings.

I fancy ebdon might win it again this year You can never rule him out in the longer matches but Maguire is going really well and with Murphy and Selby out of the way, I fancy him to get to the final.

Ronnie O'Sullivan 13-7 Mark Williams
Ronnie storms into the quarter-finals with a 147 in the final frame!
Ronnie's 147 is the 7th maximum at the Crucible and his 3rd. It's his 9th maximum is competitive play, breaking Stephen Hendry's record of 8.
The result means Mark Williams drops out of the top 16 after 12 years.
