World number six Ryan Day will be unable to go one better than last year after he went down to a 5-3 defeat by Jamie Cope at the snooker Grand Prix in Glasgow.

Cope went 2-0 ahead before Day - last year's losing finalist - won three consecutive frames and appeared to have the momentum.

And in the third frame, he moved ominously through the table with a 147 clearly in his sights.

Having already cleared 134, the Welshman was just unable to pot the pink, but he had reduced the arrears to 2-1.

However, 24-year-old Cope won the next three frames to claim victory as Day joined Mark Selby and Marco Fu in crashing out of the tournament.

Elsewhere, Neil Robertson won four frames on the spin to inflict a 5-3 defeat on Gerard Greene.
