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

[ore]

Last 32 money - £4000.
Flight to China - £500
Expenses/Accommodation - £300

Stevens still earned over £300 per point.

Not bad!

Not bad at all

Don't they get some of the expenses covered? Accommodation?
Even more per point then

Hendy's points were so cheap

[ore]

That must a new record! Quite amazing performance from Hendry. In my wildest dreams I didn't expect him to play that well but at same time I'm pleased to see him in such a form. There goes my first prediction though, I thought Matthew would put him away easily considering the form he's been on lately. Funny game snooker, aye?

eh so predictions thread still not showing up among the newest threads, i'll forget to predict everything this way... or it's not showing up on purpose, so we would concentrate discussing 'more important' things?

good on hendry!
stevens, eh, when will he ever rise up... player with potential until forever...

Stevens sure traveled a lot for those 9 points..

Absolutely thrilled for Stephen - fingers crossed his form continues!:snooker:

[shiyii]

Stevens' performance was defined as a"one-day tour in Beijing" by CCTV commentator.And it's the greatest match i've ever seen Hendry played(obviously i don't see his matches much).anyway,He's such a master!

[Looki]

Stevens may have been tired, but look at those breaks by the maestro

100, 39, 93, 75, 62

Hendry could be a contender this week.

Wouldn't mind.

The problem is if he's able to maintain his level. That was his problem already before his form dropped big time. He played one match like a god and the next he was missing sitters. Anyway, in my book, this performance made him the most intresting player of the second round.

That must a new record!

It is. It's the lowest score ever in a televised best of nine.

You just never know in China.

Interesting match between Cao and Maflin. Cao getting some good pots in the last two frames.

According to this, 8 points equals the record in best-of-9s: http://www.cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Records.html

Quite remarkably, Stevens only scored 8 points in the entire match.

Hendry - phenomenal

Jimmy White - a joke. "Visa problems"!

[Odrl]

A surprising development then, in what looked like the most exciting prospect of the 1st round. Hendry completes the whitewash, while the other three matches are still to reach the mid-session interval. Quite remarkably, Stevens only scored 8 points in the entire match.
