Jonny Clayton defeated Ross Smith to reach the last 16 of the UK Open. It was another match where Smith averaged close to 100, which included 10 180s, but another where he fell to defeat after not taking his chances, with 'The Ferret' 45% on the doubles.
Ricky Evans is through to the last 16 for the second time in his career after he got the better of Mike De Decker 10-5. 'Rapid' never trailed in the match and had an average of 97. It caps off a good few months for Evans, who showed good signs as he reached the third round of the World Championship in December.
