Grinded into the ground?

Both mentally and physically.

I can't stand watching selby, I know he's a leicester lad and everything, but of all the players I didn't want woollaston to play it was selby.

[VLC86]

Here we go again, Selby draining the life from the poor lad  

 

I always want him to do well but it’s a struggle.

[Nalis]

Christ this guy Ben looks broken after that

[Izzy]

That's quality from Selby to win that frame needing a snooker but Woolaston fvcked up big time there

[RowlattsFox]

How has Selby won that frame  

 

I couldn't believe he even played on. 

 

Not Selby's fault Wollaston hasn't finished the frames off. Apart from the snooker at end, Selby hasnt even played good matchplay.

It will be interesting to see how ben copes with losing that frame, my fear is selby will push on an win comfortably.

[Ian W LCFC]

Cmon Ben, when Selby plays like this it's awful to watch.

 

Selby looks beyond frustrated that he's having to resort to this too

[Noahfence]

I reckon Selbys done here 

[kingfox]

Clear frustration with his tip, and as we’ve seen many times before, when Selby isn’t feeling comfortable it becomes a slog. 
 

This feels like a midnight 10-8/10-9 finish. 

[Nalis]

That yellow and brown from Guodong 

[Lionator]

How is Selby so bad 

[EastAnglianFox]

Selby looks absolutely lost

 

He used to be unplayable in this sort of situation, now you’d probably say mentally he can be targeted

What's the background story with this?

 

Surely you get your tip sorted out so you're happy with it before the tournament/match starts?

I think it was damaged yesterday during the match?

[Lionator]

This was a guy who was beating Robertson and Ding 10-1 and 10-2 little over two weeks ago. What a sport.

Seems to be a recent occurrence, it was causing him havoc yesterday, the ferrule on his cue was also supposedly loose, he changed it for today’s session, now it’s about “bedding in” the new one. 
 

Not an ideal situation, intrigued to see what he says afterwards. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Drama a plenty but the quality in this one has been awful

[VLC86]

Just feels like a fever dream at this point doesn’t it.

[kingfox]

Ronnie will be licking his lips now, especially with Mark Allen in trouble too. 

[Bert]

Struggled all night Selby, was a tough watch from start to finish that one.

Si will go furthest from that quarter. I think it’ll either be Trump or Zhao Xintong though. We maybe see our first Chinese winner? 

[purpleronnie]

Brillaint for Ben, pleased for him.

[Nalis]

Trump Ronnie final would be one for the ages

[RowlattsFox]

More annoyed that it's opened the door for Ronnie than anything else. Feel like it always opens up for him when you look at Trump who has to face Murphy in the last 16. 

A shame Selby didn't turn up. Hes done well to win 8 frames playing like that. Feel like he's done much better in the shorter formats in recent years when it used to be the other way around.
