2024 Scottish Open Snooker Qualifiers: Singh Chadha extends perfect qualifying record

India's number one professional Ishpreet Singh Chadha is blossoming during his second season on the World Snooker Tour. The 28-year-old defeated Sanderson Lam, 4-2, and has won all six of his Home Nations Series qualifying matches this term, making it to the main venue stages in Brentwood, Belfast and now for Edinburgh in December. At the English Open, he reached the last four.

On Monday, Wang Yuchen led 3-0 in his round one match before eventually surviving a comeback from Liam Davies and going through via a deciding frame. However, today he did fall victim to a big recovery from his opponent, as Lyu Haotian strung together four successive frames from 3-0 down to reach the last 64.

Julien Leclercq won via a final frame shootout to arrange an all-Belgian round three encounter with 2023 World Champion Luca Brecel.

A quarter-finalist last week at the Northern Ireland Open, Louis Heathcote has been in brilliant recent form, although he came down with a bump, being eliminated 4-0 by last season's Rookie of the Year He Guoqiang who posted runs of 57, 116 and 80. Heathcote scored a total of just 31 points during the tie; yesterday in his whitewash win, he only allowed his opponent to score 20 points.

Xu Si made the highest break of the tournament so far, a 139, en route to advancing. Stuart Carrington crafted a 132 in his winning endeavour, while Ricky Walden iced his win with an effort of exactly 100.

Rookie Antoni Kowalski emerged on the correct side of an hour-plus deciding frame to squeeze past the experienced Joe Perry.

Anthony McGill, Dean Young and Scott Donaldson all qualified for their home event; Young pipped Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Donaldson survived a decider having watched opponent Amir Sarkhosh rally from 3-0 down.

The other players to qualify for the final rounds of the £550,400 ranking tournament during Tuesday’s programme were Long Zehuang, Mark Davis, Jimmy Robertson and Fan Zhengyi.

Opening round completed in Sheffield: Jimmy White progresses

During Tuesday's early sessions, the remaining round one fixtures were completed.

Jimmy White defeated African Champion Hatem Yassen, 4-1, to set up a round two date with Jackson Page on Wednesday.

White got the better of Page last month when they met in the final qualifying round of the Northern Ireland Open.

Recent British Open semi-finalist Oliver Lines has had his best start to a season ever, and he collected more prize money following a 4-1 victory over Scottish national nomination Ayaan Iqbal. Lines struck a 123 break.

Haris Tahir - a professional rookie from Pakistan - came back from 3-1 down to deny Hammad Miah in a deciding frame. Earlier in the tie, Miah top scored with a break of 107.

Xing Zihao was pegged back three times by Manasawin Phetmalaikul but the Chinese cueist got over the line the seventh and final frame.

Hungarian teenager Bulcsu Revesz registered runs of 73 and 80 during a 4-1 victory over world women's champion Bai Yulu.

Ka Wai Cheung (breaks of 80, 96, 51), Ma Hailong (75, 96, 64) and Ashley Carty all scored whitewash wins.
