O’Connor stuns Allen to reach Players Championship quarter-finals

A DAY AGO
Allen – the year’s most in-form player – began his quest for a second Players Championship title with a clash against 16th seed O’Connor. His quest ended at the first stage.
The 27-year-old was the lowest-ranked player in the draw but backed up his run to the English Open final in December – progress that included wins over Neil Robertson, Mark Williams and Zhao Xintong – with a brilliant 6-3 victory over the UK Championship and Northern Ireland Open champion.
With Ronnie O’Sullivan and Robertson among those failing to qualify for the showpiece tournament at Aldersley Leisure Village, Allen headed into the event among a small group of favourites also containing Trump and Selby.
But he was left to rue sloppy positional play as he repeatedly failed to convert a flurry of openings into one-visit frames, allowing O’Connor to pinch multiple frames and seal a spot in the quarter-finals.
