kingfox Posted 24 April 2013 Author Posted 24 April 2013 This Mornings scores Trump 10-5 Dale Ding 10-5 McManus Good win for Trump, needed to find a bit of form after a sluggish season, breaks of 104, 73 and 64 this morning is decent going. Dale was on a 147 as well but broke down on 96, if Trump performs like he did this morning, he will be a massive danger. Ding will be thankful that match is over, McManus fought hard and grafted away this morning, Ding managed to get over the line though thankfully enough. Ding v King next, a match Ding should win, if he does it could be Ding v Selby in the Quarters.

That'll be quality! Well jealousCan It be a Ronnie v Selby final or would they meet earlier than that?
Rocky Dennis Posted 24 April 2013 Posted 24 April 2013 That'll be quality! Well jealous Can It be a Ronnie v Selby final or would they meet earlier than that? Cost me a fortune, treat for my Dads 65th Birthday. Not sure of draw permitations but hoping for that final, although Selby/Trump or Selby/Robertson would be good also, I regret not buying tickets for all 4 sessions now!

Bert Posted 24 April 2013 Posted 24 April 2013 I'm sure Selby and Ronnie are at complete opposite ends of the draw.
kingfox Posted 24 April 2013 Author Posted 24 April 2013 It could be a Selby v Ronnie final. Anyway this afternoon's scores. Robertson 5-4 Milkins Stevens 7-10 Fu Robertson v Milkins was high quality, but there were a few scrappy frames that went on for a while, Robertson and Milkins are good free flowing players though, and are fast when in the balls. Robertson hit the highest break of the tournament so far, by making a 143. Evenly poised going into tomorrow afternoon, where I'll be making my second trip of the tournament. Stevens and Fu was the most intriguing scrap I have ever watched, never the best quality but so much drama it was unreal. Stevens from 9-4 down got it back to 9-7, the final frame of the session could of easily gone to Stevens, if so they would of been pulled off, but Fu scrapped over the line, he potted an awesome pink to get on the black to win the match, cracking shot. Bring on tonight, Selby to a finish
foxfanazer Posted 24 April 2013 Posted 24 April 2013 Was there a re rack in the Selby match? Turned over after a few balls have been potted then went back to it and the scores where 0-0
kingfox Posted 24 April 2013 Author Posted 24 April 2013 Was there a re rack in the Selby match? Turned over after a few balls have been potted then went back to it and the scores where 0-0 Yes there was. Selby not playing well at all though, last night he was below par.
isaidno Posted 24 April 2013 Posted 24 April 2013 I think I've got the second session of Murphy vs Dott on Friday , and Selby vs Hawkins on the other table
kingfox Posted 24 April 2013 Author Posted 24 April 2013 Tonight's scores Selby 10-4 Selt Bingham 8-1 Baird Selby didn't start tonight well either losing the first frame of the evening, but then found his gears and racked in breaks of 51, 55 and 91 to win the match. Selby needs to play better though, Hawkins is a tough nut to crack, and of course Hawkins beat Selby last year in the first round. Thought Baird would do much better than this, but Bingham smashed him. Bingham is this years darkhorse in my opinion, it's about time he had a good run here and he could well do it, some close frames tonight, but Bingham looked comfortable throughout the first session. I'm off for my second visit tomorrow, to see Robbo v Milkins, so glad it finished 5-4.
Jiggers the Fox Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 Couple of lovely flukes from Dott so far! And a very nice 128 from Murphy. Should be a decent contest.
isaidno Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 Massive shock . Robertson, maguire, Allen and Williams all gone from Selby's half of the draw
Bert Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 Massive shock. Robbo not at the races. Great news for Selby if he can get past Hawkins. Looking forward to Kingfox's "expert" analysis later on.
isaidno Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 Selby still has a hard draw though. Hawkins is no push over, and I'd favour Ding in the quarter finals at the moment
isaidno Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 The guy from Thailand is hilarious, he's gonna be a new cult hero

kingfox Posted 25 April 2013 Author Posted 25 April 2013 Especially for my friend Bert Just got back, I'm sure many believed Robertson would be a sure bet to win the title, pundits probably thought the same thing in all fairness. So this afternoon's scores... Murphy 6-2 Dott Robertson 8-10 Milkins Only the first session of Murphy & Dott's second round match, but Murphy has a very healthy lead in this one, two centuries for Murphy today as well as a break of 99, seemed in class form, and as I said if he picked his form up which looks like he has, then I believe he could well get to the final, O'Sullivan, Trump and Bingham will also be dangerous I think, but I will have to favour Murphy at the minute. Well we have seen some shocks this week, but despite Milkins being ranked 19th a lot will be surprised with this result. Robertson was poor, one of his worst displays I have seen, considering he did well yesterday. A lot of frames were close and scrappy, but Milkins won them all which was the key factor, he was simply the better player today and deserved the win. Because of this result then, one of Poomjaeng, White, Milkins or Walden will definitely reach the Semi Finals...shock!!! I'm just watching the match on Eurosport now, and I was on TV quite a few times
kingfox Posted 25 April 2013 Author Posted 25 April 2013 Second Round... Ronnie O'Sullivan v Ali Carter Stuart Bingham v Mark Davis Shaun Murphy v Graeme Dott Marco Fu v Judd Trump Robert Milkins v Ricky Walden Michael White v Dechawat Poomjaeng Mark King v Ding Junhui Barry Hawkins v Mark Selby Top half is wide open, bottom half if Ding or Selby don't make the final I will be very surprised.
