LAST UPDATE | 31 Jan
AARON HILL’S MEMORABLE week at the German Masters has come to an end after a heavy quarter-final defeat.
China’s Xiao Guodong powered to a 5-0 win in the last eight in Berlin.
Hill was competing in the quarter-final at a ranking event for just the second time in his career.
The Corkman defeated Tom Ford 5-3 last night to progress. Hill built up a 4-0 lead before Ford launched a strong comeback with scores of 85, 56 and 77 to put pressure on the 22-year-old at 4-3.
However, Hill composed himself to take a 5-3 victory with a 74 in the next frame to put himself into Friday’s quarter-finals.
Hill rolls on! 🇮🇪🙌
