Mark Selby left Hammad Miah extremely frustrated in a scrappy contest as he took a 4-2 victory to reach the last 16 at the Northern Ireland Open. Miah had chances to win every frame, but couldn’t take them and was punished for his mistakes which meant he was 3-0 down after losing two frames on the final black. Ad He fought back to 3-2, but lost the next frame to Selby, who will play Michael White in the next round on Thursday.
Ronnie O'Sullivan could not believe his luck as David Grace got very lucky with a wild fluke in what was a huge moment at the Northern Ireland Open.

There are several timeless yarns about Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins and his endless confrontations with officialdom from the sporting vaults which, like his old mucker Jimmy White potting balls for fun on the snooker table, tend to get better with age. One, in particular, remains pure genius amid the hell-raising Hurricane's legendary Guinness guzzling of yesteryear. Ad Ireland's evergreen 1997 world champion Ken Doherty faced Higgins in what turned out to be the Hurricane's final match at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in 1994, the scene of his totemic second world triumph in 1982 and that swashbuckling do-or-die run of 69 against White in an epic 16-15 semi-final win.
UFC president Dana White's new combat sports venture — slap fighting — will be a licensed athletic competition in Nevada.
Jimmy White says he has no regrets about his part in the incident between himself and referee Ben Williams at the Northern Ireland Open. Williams mistakenly called the wrong ball, then corrected his error, before laughing — and White repeatedly questioned, “why are you laughing” in the fourth frame of his match against Luca Brecel. Ad White stuck a finger up towards the referee, which appeared to be his index finger, only to be given a warning by Williams for his conduct.
Jimmy White received a warning from referee Ben Williams after not seeing the funny side of an officiating error in his match against Luca Brecel at the Northern Ireland Open. The Whirlwind had just potted a long red in the fourth frame and was sizing up the brown but the referee mistakenly called the blue ball. Ad White got up from his shot and corrected the referee.
In a lot of ways, this autumn is like so many others for Shaun White. The now-retired, three-time Olympic halfpipe champion was on a glacier in Switzerland earlier this month, taking turns down the halfpipe, trying to figure out what works, what has potential and what needs a complete overhaul.
