Grand Prix 2009 - 1st round discussions!

For me Hendry tends to be most vulnerable in the early rounds, so this is as good as chance as any for Selt to beat Hendry. Though in saying that you can never be sure what (kind of Hendry) will be turning up on the day..

[Odrl]

Yeah, it wouldn't be that surprising if he won. But Hendry has performances ranging from extremely mediocre to very good these days, so there's no way of telling how well he'll have to play.

i hope selty learnt from his first tv match against higgins in shanghai and plays well today

bring on the snooker!!! anyone think that selt can cause an upset to hendry?

I really think he can, but he has to get over the TV pressure, he just could not handle it against Higgins in Shanghai.. But I'm not going to say it was the worst first TV performance ever.. He just needs a little bit of that match winning touch

It was decent (decent not fantastic) for Higgins, but it was a week-end day. Now we are on Monday with people at work and youth at school ... Given how poor attendance has been until now I'm afraid it wont be great.

[Odrl]

Looking forward to today's matches. Hendry got the lowest ranked qualifier, but I don't think Selt would have been his first choice. Hendry can get caught out in 1st rounds, but I think he might scrape through this one. Especially if there's a good atmosphere, it was decent for Higgins I suppose.

Ebdon-Liang is the match of the round for me (or at least second to Selby-Doherty), I'm surprised it's not Eurosport's first choice. I think Liang has a psychological edge on Ebdon, so I predicted 2-5 I think. But I can see Ebdon being up for this match.

I'd love to watch both of these two matches, it's a shame one of them isn't on in the evening. Especially as Murphy-Pinches and Allen-McCulloch have the potential to be a bit one-sided.

I know, i put the mockers on him...i should've known better.

I'll know now where to ask for help if I'll need to put mockers on somone

[spike]

Oops. Wrong.



AGAIN.Sorry, coudn't refrain anymore.

I think Gerard is going to hold onto this lead and beat Robertson. Neil has looked decidedly edgy at times and probably a little surprised with how well Greene has been playing in this match..

Oops. Wrong.

[darrus]

Yes, I do have sound - it's very quiet though.

[ore]

Eurosport doesn't have free broadcasts anymore, and the player links are password protected because they are not free. So only JustinTV or this BritishTV application mentioned yesterday.

Do what you want with me, but I like Doherty as a commentator

How come is that? I mean Doherty...

And darrus do you have sound on BritishTV BBC Sport stream?

[superaussie]

good luck selty

[johnno147]

its a surprise is the sense that day is provisionally ranked 5th and cope is ranked 18th... i think.
