BetVictor Scottish Open Qualifiers Day Three

Women’s World Champion Bai Yulu scored a fine 4-0 win over India’s Kreishh Gurbaxani to make it to the second stage of BetVictor Scottish Open qualifying. 

Victory sees China’s Bai rack up her third match win of the current campaign. She now faces Robbie Williams for a place in the final stages, having top scored with a run of 81 in today’s decisive frame. 

Liam Pullen continued his good form with a 4-1 defeat of Farakh Ajaib. Yorkshire’s Pullen made the first quarter-final of his professional career at the last week’s Xi’an Grand Prix. There were no signs of jet lag today, as he fired in breaks of 54 and 82 en route to the win. Next up is Xi’an Grand Prix semi-finalist Daniel Wells.

Swiss number one Alexander Ursenbacher was a 4-1 victor against Hungary’s Bulcsu Revesz and now plays He Guoqiang.

As usual, this report only covers a fraction of yesterday’s action but you will find all the results on snooker.org.

It was a good day for the Hong Kong players as both Wang Yuchen and Cheung Ka Wai progressed. Wang had an easy task against Jonas Luz who scored only 17 points all match. I’m not sure it makes actual sense to give a tour card right away to players like Jonas who come from an area where snooker isn’t very developed yet. They stand no chance in the cut-throat competition on tour. It would be much better if they were offered a year of free scholarship in the UK and a spot on the Q-Tour before accessing the main tour. Of course, it would come at a cost. It’s called investing into the future.
