Advertise on podcast: Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe

There are four players left in Shenzhen and here's a new broadcast looking ahead to the last four matches. Plus results and news from the last 16 and quarter-finals. You can also hear my new Sporting Life column in audio form, as I say Ronnie O'Sullivan is hurting his chances of winning an eighth world title by not playing enough snooker. Keep your thoughts coming on any snooker matter, tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected] - I will return with Points of View soon.
