Grand Prix 2009 - 1st round discussions!

It isn't that surprising really.. The lack of audience helps Davis I feel, it's almost like a qualifier at Pontins.

That's one way at looking at it i suppose.

Judging by the general view of the audience, not a lot of people there.

Yeah its kinda sad. How I wished I got the chance to sit and watch it live there!

I'm sure it will improve as the tournament progresses. Sure there will be a bigger turnout tonight..

To be fair, the audience for Higgins-Joyce match was much bigger

Mark Davis looks solid. Great steal!

Ok! I was worried for a little bit but all is well

Come on Mark, you can do this!

Oh dear Marco, nice clearance from Davis for 4-3 to punish him.

Very questionable shot selection by Marco. Why didn't he try to get from black to the red on the upper part of the table? Attempting that red on the cushion when leading by 30 points is silly.

Come On Mark Davis!!!

I can't believe he's let so many oppertunities slip...

He's still in with a pretty good chance as Fu has been far from convincing from what i have seen of this match..

Good break that from Davis and now it's 3-3.

I'm starting to worry for non UK-viewers that we may not get coverage for some of the matches since we only have 1 reliable source for the time being.

Hope that some kind hearted dude can upload some BBC contents for us to view after the next day or so.

Well, thank God for Eurosport player *knocks on wood*
So far it looks like Fu-Davis match will be a long one.

Those last 2 frames from Higgins were very impressive indeed. Looking back on the match you could say Mark did well to win a frame against John Higgins..
