Grand Prix 2009 - 1st round discussions!

If all the ranked players keeps falling as fast as in first round, we´ll end up with a Milkins - Pinches final

You never know, but as we get into the business end of the tournament, the shocks will start to decrease - And, we still have a good line up and the draw had actually offered the potential of a full top 16 quarter final.

I'm thinking Higgins-Williams, if they avoid each other. But we'll know more by Friday.

what about mark davis?

Great matches in this evening session. King was far better player then Walden, and deserved the victory completely. Too bad Nigel didn't force a decider in the other match.

(The bulgarian commentator on eurosport was very good i must say. That is a man who knows snooker, not like the serbian commentators who are rather awfull, and don't even know what's happening on the table.)

[darrus]

Really dissapointed for Bond

[johnno147]

yeah, he got neither the pot or the position should have just rolled it in and gone for it!

yes! classic 147s are coming on freeview will keep me entertained until the snooker highlights come on.

[Odrl]

This saved the day as far as my predictions are concerned.

[Rane]

And Nigel Bond threw it all away.

[spike]

C'mon on Nigel another decider if you please..

[Mal]

I'm going to stick my neck out and say Bond will clear from here to bring it to a decider. Long way to go - on 6, now 7.

[Odrl]

Shame.

Bond needs to take this chance now.

[johnno147]

maguire could win the match with a 147!

[spike]

Not for long, down to 11 by my reckoning.

No way Maguire loses from here.

You wouldn't think so with the way the reds are placed.

[Odrl]

It would be nice to have a maximum from Maguire to end a great day of snooker.
