Cant believe jimmy got beat 4-0, he could of been 3-0 ahead, seemed afraid to pot the winning balls in the first 3 frames, not good to watch.

Does anyone know when points drop off from 2 seasons ago in rankings? Jimmys 60th at the moment, so i take it his place on tour is in major trouble?

I was just thinking that. I can't see Jimmy or Steve Davis being on next years tour. 2 legends who will be out.

I see that Sean O'Sullivan keeps making simple potting errors.

I may be wrong but has King left the auditorium after every frame?

Yes. I wonder why they do that.

I do like Sean O'Sullivan's cueing style. Very neat and compact. A classic style where he never drops his elbow.

EDIT:-

This deciding frames been entertaining. I can't believe Sean just missed that blue

Has anyone mentioned why a world ranking event is only first to 4 frames yet?

Best of 7 up to and including last 16, then best of 9 for the QFs, then best of 11 for the SFs, then best of 17 for the Final.
Maybe with the Flat 128 now they thought this would be best to get the matches done within a reasonable time?

[DeanH]

oh dear, Frazz is 2 down to Hawkins
come on Frazz!

Well Mr Hearn is a promoter - I bet he does something to shake it up and cause a storm - quote me when it happens - you read it here first.
