Stephen Maguire – Maverick

Stephen Maguire advanced to the World Snooker Championship quarter-finals using a borrowed cue after holding off Zhao Xintong in Sheffield.

The 41-year-old Scot started the final session of their match two frames from victory but dropped four of the first five sets on Saturday before sealing a 13-9 triumph against the Chinese seventh seed with a break of 59.

Maguire, a two-time semi-finalist who has fallen to 40 in the current world rankings, claimed he took extraordinary steps after being dissatisfied with his form after a grueling first-round victory against Shaun Murphy.

Ronnie O’Sullivan – The Hero Of the Tournament
