China Open 2014 - Discussion

Anyway, a good win for Carter in the end. He took a 3-1 lead with some good snooker, then missed a pretty routine black when he had a chance for 4-1, and the match turned around, kind of like the match between Walden and Hawkins at the Masters. But Carter held up better under pressure after it went 3-3.

Robertson has certainly played a couple of good frames under pressure as well this week, winning that 8th frame in a couple of visits for 5-3, but it could have been very different had Dott won just one of those three close frames. :wink:

Does anyone know what the live match is later? Selby or Ding?

Both, one on each channel. I think they have Ding on the main channel and Selby on Eurosport2.

Cheers for that, just how it should be.

Yes, I will be concentrating on the Ding match personally. Could be tougher than it seems for him, because King is very tough to crack when he is playing well. They met in the 2nd round of the World Championship last year, and Ding probably didn't give him enough respect at the start of the match, and found himself 6-2 down after the first session as a result. But he then played his best snooker of the tournament to come back and take control of the match. He is playing well this week, so he should win, but any complacency would be ill-advised.

I expect Selby to win the other match pretty comfortably, clearly stronger than Dunn in every element of the game...

[scottley]

I could happily watch either but i'll watch Selby i think, i don't expect any surprises in either match.

Just looking on Eurosport2 and the Davis Cup is scheduled for the whole day, i know that what is scheduled and what is shown are'nt always the same thing but i don't hold out much hope, i just hope they show the Selby match.

[PatBlock]

Yeah, Walden missed the reds on a thin safety and the miss was called. Carter had it put back, and as Walden prepared to play his shot he realized he now needed a snooker, so the miss had been called incorrectly...

Thanks Odrl. I thought there was something more to it than that, pretty basic stuff really.

I just heard the guy saying the Selby match is on EuroSport2 but when I turn over it's tennis. I'm in the UK. Are other folks seeing the same thing?

Okay. Thanks for letting me know. I guess snooker is a second class citizen in the UK.

Poxy tennis here too, its nothing new though with Eurosport, their scheduling is a joke!

Yes. It's really rubbish. And they keep going over or under such that I never get to record a whole match. The only way is to do a manual recording for the whole day. What a joke.

[cyberheater]

3-0 to Ding. I think Ding can taste a new title.
