Vafaei, a form player, faces a rematch against Chinese world No 26 after an unfocused O’Sullivan nearly lost a 4-1 lead.
O’Sullivan, who missed several chances in the previous round, showed frustration and delivered a final frame clearance of 122. He is adamant he has no ill will towards Vafaei, who he considered a friend before the incident during German Masters qualifying.
Mark Williams and Ding Junhui made history in the quarter-final of a snooker tournament with a score of 101-94, breaking the previous record of 192 by three points. Williams aimed to give it everything, but the grind was necessary to maintain consistency in the tournament.
