Shaun Murphy, who lost 13-9 to Stephen Maguire, has been talking to the media.
Murphy fist-pumped after winning two early frames in yesterday's second session before Maguire did the same after the 16th frame, punching the table and then punching the air.
But Murphy had no problems with that and said more players should show their passion.
He said: "It's what we need more of in snooker, these shows of emotion and people celebrating. It's OK to celebrate your success, good shots and winning frames. It was a vital moment and if I had won that frame I would've punched the table as well.
"We need more of it in snooker and for players to show their passion. A lot of them look like robots. I enjoyed it, it added a bit of spice to the match."
