Marco Fu came from 3-0 down to beat Stephen Maguire 4-3 in the qualifying round of the British Open, earning a place in the final stages in Cheltenham in September.
It has been a tremendous start to the season for Hong Kong's 47-year-old Fu as on Tuesday he beat Chris Wakelin 5-3 to qualify for the Wuhan Open. In those two matches he made five centuries and three more breaks over 50. After losing the first three frames against Maguire, Fu stormed back to take four in a row with runs of 140, 81, 104 and 54.
Jackson Page came from 2-1 down to beat Elliot Slessor 4-2 with a top break of 86, while Pakistan's Haris Tahir edged out Ken Doherty 4-3, taking the last two frames with breaks of 65 and 81.
Amateur Ryan Davies, who earned a place in the event as a Q School top-up, edged out Jimmy Robertson 4-3 in a dramatic finish. In the deciding frame, Robertson cross-doubled the final pink but then missed a tricky black playing with the rest, and left Davies the chance to tap it in for victory.
Jimmy White could not build on yesterday's fine win over Anthony McGill as he lost 4-2 to Liam Davies. Jack Lsiowski made a 72 in the deciding frame to beat Liam Highfield 4-3.
