Semi-Finals today in China

Action from the Single Elimination stages of the men's and women's events at the 2009 China Open continue apace in Shanghai. Remaining matches include the semi-finals onwards, and will played to conclusion today.

The field of players has been whittled down to four in the men's event and it looks like an East vs. West affair, as two Europeans are still in contention. Niels Feijen from the Netherlands and Germany's Thorsten Hohmann have all of Europe's hopes hanging on their semi-final matches today. Good luck from all of us at Pro9 gentlemen, as we will be supporting whilst following the live scoring and video.
