Malta’s Tony Drago was on the verge of being eliminated yesterday as he lost the first session of the best of 19 second round (qualifier) match against Justin Astley 7-2.
When the second session of the match is played this afternoon, Drago has a mountain to climb. The first who reaches 10 frames will be the winner.
The Valletta-born Drago needs eight of the remaining 10 frames to go through to the next round, while Astley needs just three to qualify.
