You're not alone, my Eurosport2 is showing tennis too.

Ding wins 5-2 and looks like he could win it all.
Dunn up 4-3 and a close frame.

Fancy that Selby being Selby'd

[robertmac]

Dunn wins it.

A huge well done to Mike Dunn.

well played to Dunn,
I watched his match at the Welsh and he played well and it was a tight match but lost in the end. I saw him afterwards outside and lets say he is an emotional chap as was seen when he potted the Blue to win today.
Hope he has a good run tomorrow.

Didn't see that coming, to be honest. But it did look possible from the minute Bingham withdrew and left Selby alone in that quarter. It was always going to be a shock semi-finalist if Selby didn't make it. And let's be honest, in a tougher quarter he probably would have gone out sooner. :wink:

Congratulations to Mike Dunn for the best run of his career, quite reminiscent of the one Stuart Pettman had in this tournament in 2009. Will be tough against Ding though, because he is playing pretty solidly.

Didn't see it, wish I had, Mikes always come across as a nice guy. When you see these guys with less than £300k earnings in over 20 yrs you wonder how they do it and its great to see them get a turn.

Every credit to Dunn.

just read this on Inside Snooker:
"Mark wasn’t at his best but this season I’ve made sure that anyone who beats me has to scrape me off the table. That has made a big difference. This could have been my last season and I wanted to give it everything, so if I fell off the tour I wouldn't regret it,” Dunn said.
I would certainly say that is what I saw in Newport

Makes you wonder why he never played like that before.

do or die

And that could be a winning formula, there aren't many players out there willing to play scruffy snooker they just haven't got the head for it, today Selby came up against someone who played the same type of game. It goes to show that our beloved game doesn't always have to be about massive breaks.

So Neil of to a flying start against Carter, 2-0 in front already. Personally I'm hoping for a Ding Robbo Final, so this qualifies as a good start I guess

[streamer45]

Anyone wishing Carter vs Dunn final ?
