China Open 2014 - Discussion

Eurosport doesn't show anything in the middle of the night, but the matches are televised locally, so they should be available on Eurosport Player, if you have it. Otherwise you can probably find a stream anyway.

Ok cheers mate.

I subscribe to World Snooker (LiveSport.TV) and have enjoyed it
however they have not been showing all the matches which are
scheduled and displayed on their WorldSnooker Home Page.
Last saturday they didnt show any of the Players Champion
matches even tho they showed them listed. Now they are not
showing all of the China Open matches.
Anyone know why or where I can view the matches? Thanks.

So, Tuesday was not really a great day, in terms of competitive matches. At least Ding and Murphy played alright in their wins, so I'm sure they will be involved in better matches tomorrow and later in the week.

Not sure about Selby though, he was really poor... As I said before the tournament, his quarter was really weak, and today it's lost Michael Holt as well, arguably the second best player. This probably makes Tian Pengfei the favourite to join Selby in the QF now, if Selby even gets there. It could be one of the veterans instead. :wink:


It should be a better day tomorrow. I'm not sure which matches are televised, but one would think it's going to be Williams-Robertson in the morning. Williams probably favourite there, unless Robertson has at least partly recovered from his illness. The other match should be either Murphy-Poomjaeng or Higgins-White.

Ding against Thepchaiya Un-Nooh could be interesting in the afternoon. Un-Nooh whitewashed Doherty in less than an hour, with five breaks over 50, so he is clearly playing well. Some good prospects in the "night" session as well, particularly Trump-Ebdon and Walden-Xiao.

I joined WS livesport last year then realised that about 50% of the season was not showed, so I cancelled the subscription.
Sportlemon.tv shows 90%+ of the season as well as British Eurosport covers most with pretty good commentary, so I use them
others have joined betting sites with a fiver and get the players league matches

Thanks for the reply. I am in Canada so there is usually no problems as
I have always gotten the matches that were listed on their website.
Its just very recently that things have not been shown as scheduled.
I will try Sportlemon.

Same here in Japan. Yesterday it said coverage was going to start today, now today it is saying it is going to start tomorrow! I wonder if tomorrow it will change to the day after tomorrow! Haha.

Good win for Jimmy! Delighted for Ebdon too....time to go home Judd.

It's amazing how well Peter Ebdon plays in this tournament. :smile: Unfortunately for him the draw doesn't get any easier, probably Carter in the next round, another player Ebdon has a pretty awful record against.

Yu Delu still going strong, will play the winner of Roberetson-Williams in the last16. But Tian Pengfei lost to Mike Dunn, so it will be one of Dunn, Steadman and O'Donnell who reaches the QF in that section.

Luca Brecel through as well, his first last16 appearance of the season.

Yea big win again for jimmy, hes picking a great time to finally get results, will go to the world qualifiers next week now with a LOT less pressure on his shoulders. Last 16 match against bond/selby now. Go on jimmy!

I wont be renewing WS with the reduction in PTCs

[rich45]

lol why do the commentators on Eurosport pretend to be commentating live when showing a previous match? e.g. they just showed the end of Ebdon's match-winning break from earlier today, which wasn't televised, and it was so clear that they were commentating in retrospect, in full knowledge of the end result.

Also, I doubt they are actually in China, yet they are always saying "here in Beijing" haha.

Looking forward to the livesport website working from tomorrow so I can watch it without commentary!

Well done Peter Ebdon great win over Judd Trump, Judd looked very disappointed with his loss, and if Peter did the big COME ON I am sure it would have upset Judd More and he would have moaned about it, also great win for Jimmy with a 5-3 victory over Alfie Burden that should keep Jimmy on the tour for next season when the new ranking system comes out, tough match for Jimmy next if Mark Selby beats Nigel Bond later today. Rich I think you are right about the commontators on Eurosport not been in Bejing China, because in the 2012 International Open Neal Foulds was commontating on the matches in the International Championship Played At The Sichuan International Tennis Center, Chengdu, China, which was shown live on Eurosport and an hour later he was stood next to the snooker table in The Mountbatten Stadium, Portsmouth for the world Seniors championship talking about the matches. Either Neal got a very quick flight or changed into his Superman outfit and flew back to Portsmouth unless it was an holagram lol.

Great last few frames from Williams to almost make it 4-4.

What a great brown and blue both played at a decent speed.

[coomsey76]

Williams takes it into a decider.....

[neuronic]

Damn, I missed the Trump-Ebdon match... :frown:
Someone recorded that?
