China Open - 1st round (and wildcard round) discussion

Hmm Selbs just can't seem to finish a frame off in one visit these days. Or score very heavily... Yet he's reaching semis and finals. 'mazin.

He's not a lester anymore tho.

Ryan has clearly had the run of the balls but I wouldn't expect you to acknowledge that, being a rabid Ronnie O'Sullivan hater.

Like now? Ryan missed a long red and left it straight to the middle pocket only to Ronnie mess the shot after that.

You're just bitter. Ronnie has missed his fair share of balls and not left a thing for Ryan.

Strange match this one is! It is important for both players but it doesnt look like that! Both are going for everything and playing loose like its an exhibition

Day makes it 4-2. He was pretty lucky though. Several nice flicks, missed a sitter of a pink but the pink came back and covered all the pottable reds, and fluked a red when he went for a plant.

Well Ryan is playing well

Ronnie beating Carter with 4 centuries and a 147 is a trashing, this is just a plain ol' loss.

Commentator's said earlier that he isn't on any of the posters as they feared he wouldn't turn up lol, maybe he was told to turn up, but wants to get away asap ??

Ronnie is taking this far too casually. He just doesn't care. Losing 3-2 in a frame where both had several chances to win it.

Good steal from Selby to make it one a piece. Nearly at risk of going 2-0. Tian doesn't hang about!
