From heaven to hell......Poor Bazza has been slaughtered this afternoon. Shame really after his great display last night. Now he has a mountain to climb to keep his hopes alive.

On the other table, the Tartan Tussle is well underway and we have a tough tactical battle and scrappy snooker. But that was to be expected between two master tacticians of the game. Higgins looks to be starting to pick up is game a bit more now.

But what the hell has happened with McManus? Some sort of physical problem with his arm/neck?

Btw scrappy match between these two...and not in a good way neither.

Fu - Ding possible, Fu - Selby not (both bottom) ....
It is
Higgins/McManus v Ding/Williams top
Fu/Hawkins v Selby/Wilson bottom

Oh good. Well I'll hope either Fu or Ding goes out(probably rather Fu, because Ding seems to be developing a personality)

His big glasses steamed up after he heard that.

I've always quite liked Fu, I think he is underestimated. Yes he a pretty big weakness in his game with the lack of cue power but everything else is very very solid. He looks to be doing a number on Barry here. I think Barry played his final yesterday.

This isn't going the way I saw it so far.

Well Fu's had 4 days to rest up and Barry looks like he's still recovering from last night's epic conclusion. As Mikey says, he'll probably wake up next session, but if he doesn't manage to get a few frames on the board today, it could be too late. Let's hope he had a nice strong coffee during the interval.

Hmm, 5 - 0 now.

Loving the snooker.Especially now the Ronnie O'Sullivan/Judd Trump freak show is over.

I just hope Higgins and Selby meet one another before the final. At least that eliminates one of them.

That can't happen as they're in different sides of the draw, but I agree that it wouldn't be an exciting final match.

Great minds Mikey

You got it Jonny - Both on the ball...pun intended

[johnsusername]

Didn't Ronnie mention the other day that he has "stuff going on behind the scenes"? Not sure what that meant.

I personally think 5 WC's is plenty. Hendry and Davis achieved so much, I doubt anyone will ever beat it, but there's no shame in that.

Barry might be hungover, figuratively speaking, from last night.
