BetVictor Scottish Open champion Gary Wilson has moved closer to defending the title with a convincing quarter-final win at Meadowbank.
The Tyneside cueman brushed Chris Wakelin from Rugby aside 5-0 in their afternoon match in Edinburgh and Wilson told World Snooker Tour TV that you need to be consistent as a snooker player.
He notched breaks of 68 and 96 in the first two frames to get off to a flyer and he added: “I have played so bad for quite a while now so to find that something was relieving in a way but I know I can’t play like that every day.”
In another quarter-final, Chinese player Zhou Yuelong beat English player Stuart Bingham 5-4 despite the 47-year-old from Basildon notching a break of 142 in the sixth frame which was described as “immaculate” by observers.
