I think Neils superior long potting will be the difference here, hope i'm wrong though.

[cyberheater]

What a fabulous long red by Robbo.

Superior long potting and superior break building skills.

[daffie]

Very good start from Neil...some pretty good pots and positional play. Got out of trouble a couple of times.

Come on Mark!

[cyberheater]

Well done Robbo. Keep going.

[daffie]

Damn Neil looks very dangerous! Mark needs to up his game quickly and play like he did this afternoon.

Come on Mark! All of us need that decider

[peterpackage]

Get in there robbo !

Looks like the long potting might give Robertson the edge. Either way, surely Ronnie is a big favourite.

What I think snooker really lacks right now is a definitive no1, like we had with Davis, then Hendry. It's almost certainly O'Sullivan, but he doesn't play enough international tournaments. Robertson isn't a clear world no 1 in my eyes, regardless of what the rankings say.

[daffie]

This is a decent chance for Mark...needs to get this frame on the board and get some rhythm going.

Go on Mark!

[scottley]

What a match!

I'll tell you what else snooker lacks. Decent talent coming through, can anyone see a youngster who looks like emerging and winning multiple events?
