Nice end to this 2nd frame. C'mon Mark...

BBC hang your head in shame, how could you cut the match in the last frame.

I know! It's almost as though there's non-snooker fans out there who want to watch other things.

It certainly was an entertaining match, but not exactly as high quality as I had hoped. Selby was tremendous in the first three frames, and after that there were only a couple of great single shots from both players, the rest was pretty scrappy. :smile:

It was interesting to see Selby basically fall apart in the middle of the match, it doesn't often happen to him. Higgins was clearly nervous towards the end as well though. He was looking for something aggressive to play throughout the deciding frame, and indeed he got a couple of very nice pots, but then he missed every time when he could have put a few points together. He was awful with the rest today and I think that's what lost him the match in the end...

You can never really rule Selby out, but I think he will have to play a little better to beat Murphy, although to be fair, Murphy had an easy game today and wasn't really tested, so we are yet to see him under pressure.

I'm not expecting great matches tonight, but I look forward to being proved wrong. :smile:

Great match with Selby and Higgins. BBC hang your head in shame, how could you cut the match in the last frame.

Haha, the grannies had fallen to sleep, they had to cut the feed.

Well that didn't disappoint did it. I only got to see the last three frames or so but wow, that was one hell of a duel between two of the best tactical players ever. And boy, did they both really want it, JH looked absolutely gutted.

So, Ron and MJW, the stats probably favour ROS but Mark's playing well atm, here's hoping he can do the bizzo, or at the very least not get hammered. :nevreness:
Keeping an eye on Fu v Jones as well of course.

That's it then...Selby through. Not a classic but still very enjoyable.

Onwards with MJW vs O'Sullivan...

It was a gripping match, just a shame about the outcome
