- Published
World number one Neil Robertson was beaten by Marco Fu on a re-spotted black in the deciding frame of their Haikou World Open last-16 match.
Robertson needed just pink to reach the quarter-finals, but the Australian missed the penultimate ball.
Fu levelled before potting the black again to seal a 5-4 win and land a last-eight clash against Mark Joyce.
John Higgins staged a remarkable comeback against Judd Trump, winning 5-4 after being 4-0 down.
In a high quality match packed with big breaks, the 38-year-old looked set to go out when Trump compiled breaks of 100, 63, 110 and 68 to surge ahead.
But the Scot returned after the mid-session interval to make 104, 89, 90, 124 and 63 for a stunning victory. He will face defending champion Mark Allen, who eased past Ricky Walden 5-2.
World number two Mark Selby faces Alan McManus in the quarter-finals after both men sailed through 5-1.
Selby, from Leicester, eased past over China's Liang Wenbo, while Glaswegian veteran McManus beat Welshman Dominic Dale in the ranking event based in China.
