2022 World Championship

That missed chance was so typical Maguire.

its moments like this where i would have preferred zhou yuelong to have qualified , he lost to maguire 10 - 7 , obviously thats why they play and all that but just seen this too many times.

Yeah, the Maguire of the last years is one of the worst players to face O'Sullivan. He doesn't have a good safety game and even worse doesn't even try to go for safeties. Instead he will try to pot, but miss so many balls, that Ronnie gets one gift after another.

MJW and Ronnie are both checking out into the distance in their respective matches. Looks like both could be very one sided affairs unless Maguire and Bingtao up their games fairly soon

[Cue crafty]

Maguire looking like he’s got some new kindling for the stove….

[Odrl]

Not a great morning. No one really playing at the standard of a World Championship semi-finalist at the moment, but still a long way to go.

[balkend]

As Cue Crafty hinted , there could be the sounds of chopping and wood smoke coming from behind Maguires dressing room tonight. Goodness only knows what sort of an implement he will turn up with tomorrow. He plays currently with a cue borrowed from a friend. He might turn up tomorrow with the handle of a sweeping broom borrowed from a hardware store in Sheffield. Anything is possible ! Never a dull moment with Maguire

Did he do his usual smirk after the miss, too?

[Odrl]

I had to do an unscheduled switch to the other table. Higgins and Lisowski were just embarrassing and tedious to watch.

[vmax]

I don’t think Higgins is nailed on to beat Lisowski ,Higgins looks ropy and is there for the taking ,he’s had a fairly easy run this championship so far .Could be a great close match .

Lisowski is just the player to once again let Higgins off the hook, as everyone else he's faced has done so far.

Always something special about seeing a 147 live it must be incredible being there. Only a matter of time before there are back to back 147s. A player makes a maximum and then their opponent replies with the same.

[fkhan]

re o sullivan just missing with the rest , doesnt he use a mini extension for those type of shots that dennis taylor just mentioned ? i remember asking this question before but have forgot , ta.

Yes, Ronnie does not bring with him any extensions. Just the standard stuff at the table.

[fkhan]

That was a horrible contact for Ronnie there. The tip is acting up, is it?

[GeordieDS]

Maguire always seems to bottle it when he plays Ronnie

[Odrl]

Williams lucky to get out of the session at 8-8 in the end. Should be a nice finish tomorrow.

[balkend]

could go to 12 -12 nail biter.
