2021 Gibraltar Open

[PatBlock]

So, we move on, from Milton Keynes to....

Looks like a full house for this one, so far anyway. Even Ronnie's there, now they've moved Gibraltar to Milton Keynes. (Bit of a shock for the Gibraltarians)
Speaking of Ronnie, he's got Carter in his first round match, presuming Ali has recovered from his illness, anyone heard anything about Ali?

Here's the draw:

Walker v o neill

Junxu v igor


Interesting to see how many frames jimmy white gets on tuesday vs a burning the midnight oil type like o connor .

Stephen Hendry plays Matthew Selt in his comeback match.

Bad result for Bingtao. Lost 4-1 to Jamie Clarke.

Eurosport (or via some of the betting sites).

Eurosport don't seem to be showing much of this

Ah yes, its on the player this morning, not the main channel.

They are however showing Hendry's match later and one of the afternoon games (I'd guess Doherty v Stevens or Selby v Craigie) on Eurosport 1.

Doherty, Stevens... Hendry. Feels like the 90s.

[JimMalone]

Lovely!

After losing the first frame vs. Matthew Selt in the second frame of his comeback match after 9 years Stephen Hendry makes a century break.

Doherty, Stevens... Hendry. Feels like the 90s.

You pipped me to the post!

...and the latter still can score a century. Legend.

Sorry. Gosh... time flies. We didn't even have cell phones. But we had Oasis. And 90s snooker.

[Ronnie's tip]

Of all the days for Selt to have 100%, 6/6 long pots...it's today!

[JimMalone]

But sadly Hendry's safety game is still poor (not that I expected it any different).
