O'Sullivan suffers shock loss to Zhang

Ronnie O'Sullivan won the Shanghai Masters in September but has been knocked out of the English Open

World number one Ronnie O'Sullivan is out of the English Open after a shock last-16 loss to China's Zhang Anda.

Zhang will play compatriot Zhou Yuelong in the quarter-finals after the latter beat England's Ali Carter 4-1.

O'Sullivan's defeat meant Luca Brecel could have topped the world rankings with a run to the semi-finals, but he lost 4-3 to Ding Junhui.

A topsy-turvy match saw world champion Brecel go 2-0 up before China's Ding won three frames in a row to nudge in front.

Belgium's Brecel hit back to make it 3-3, but Ding took the decider with a break of 58 to set up a quarter-final against either Liu Hongyu or Mark Williams.

Matthew Selt beat fellow Englishman Ricky Walden 4-3 to set up a last-eight match against Judd Trump, who came from 2-1 down to beat Yuan Sijun 4-2.

John Higgins is also through to the quarter-finals after an impressive 4-1 victory over Oliver Lines that included an opening break of 145.

The Scot will play England's Martin O'Donnell after he beat China's He Guoqiang 4-2.
