Jack Lisowski v Ronnie O'Sullivan (1900 GMT)

Thursday's evening offering from the Players Championship features two payers to have contested five finals between them this season, but neither has been able to go all the way and enter the winners' enclosure.

For RONNIE O'SULLIVAN, he can at least console himself with the fact that he currently holds the record for ranking titles with 37, and that he is the reigning world champion having tasted Crucible glory for a sixth time in Sheffield last summer.

Still, losing two of those finals to old rivals Judd Trump and Mark Selby would have hurt more than he would care to admit, while Sunday's defeat to Jordan Brown in the final of the Welsh Open is entitled to have left him even more frustrated.


Neil Robertson v Kyren Wilson (1300 GMT)

To many snooker bettors, backing total centuries might seem like one of those guilty pleasures you really ought to do without. When it goes wrong, it is incredibly frustrating and getting left high and dry in the 90's can test the coolest of heads.

Still, these markets invariably offer an exciting interest and if you pick your players - specifically the ones who place real importance on century breaks - you can make it pay.

Mark Allen has turned himself into a prolific century-break maker this season while Neil Robertson has been just that for a number of years.

The Australian - who won the UK Championship earlier in the campaign - is already up to 46 centuries this season, having made 73 last term, and he kicked off his Players Championship bid by adding four more against Lu Ning in the first round.
