Live: Ronnie O'Sullivan 9-1 Jackson Page 19:00 BST: John Higgins 5-4 Jamie Jones In the first session there were so many facial expressions, he was so busy round the table, not his normal flow, Ronnie was really picking out what the right shot was.
The seven-time world champion hits a red fine but has left the Welshman one to the left corner, which he dispatches well.Almost time to get going...the players are entering the auditorium and Ronnie O'Sullivan comes out to a huge ovation as expected.Now remember you can watch all the O'Sullivan v Page action live on BBC Two, or follow Gilbert v Milkins via our digital services.
Breaks of 54, 56, 81, 122, 66 and 53 left O'Sullivan needing to win only two frames when the match resumes on Thursday afternoon. In 1980, eight seeds lost their opening match, and that tally was matched in 1992, 2012 and now again in 2024 with defending champion Luca Brecel, out first.
