Good afternoon, fasten your seat belts, this promises to be a roller coaster ride, don't blink or you'll miss something...

Maguire gets the scoring rolling with the opening red, and quickly onto 31, his breaks ends at 56 when he misses a black at pace, nothing left for Neil to go at...

Robertson's got a red and makes 21, but Maguire's potted an unbelievable red at pace full length of the rail, so the Scot leads 57-21, two reds left... Maguire gets one of them and Robertson needs snookers now and having failed to escape from a snooker, he concedes... onto frame two and first chance goes to Neil... he's rattled along to 36 and he's got all the reds open, which will be available to Maguire as Robertson misses the black... Maguire's right back in the frame, until he a kick, but he can still pot the black to go 38-37 ahead, but the black stays on the jaws, but he's covered the pocket so there's no red on for Robertson... Neil adds 8 but leaves a red over the pocket... Maguire dishes up to take the frame... Maguire is pushing on again in frame three, this break has reached 29 and plenty of reds available, Maguire is annoyed with himself to miss on 54, he's left a red for Robertson but the rest of the reds aren't sitting good now, 4 over on the side rail... he makes 24, before missing, Maguire now has the problem of the reds on the rail, but he's got a 54-24 lead already... Maguire's back in, only needing one more red for a 3-0 lead... Robertson had first chance in frame four but he's missed his colour, smashed the reds open and left Maguire on a red... and he needs no second invitation to win the frame at that visit with a century, a great start for Maguire, 4-0 at the interval
