Day chokes in BTV Cup final

It depends on whether Ryan Day is a glass half full or a glass half empty man, when it comes to judging his performance at the BTV Cup in China.

The world number 12 was resoundly betan 9-3 in the final against home hope Tian Pengfei.

After being knocked out of both PTC tournaments in the first round so far this season, the Welshman will be pleased to have finally got some wins under his belt.

But to lose yet another final, against a player who's not even on tour, will ultimately feel like a failure.

One positive he can take is that Pengfei, although lowly ranked, beat the talented Liang Wenbo eralier in the competition, and also enjoyed victories against Mark Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan in the recent China Cup.

Day will be looking to build on making the last two here in the upcoming PTC3 competition.
