2014 World Championship - Discussion

Was hoping Jamie Cope could have pushed through the win! Would have been nice to see him get a good run after a good few years of struggling...

The first midnight finish of the World Championship for me, I really enjoyed it. :smile:

I was concentrating on Maguire's match, very impressive stuff from him from 9-6 down, didn't make a single mistake in the balls until that chance in the decider. He must be livid with himself, because if he played with that kind of composure and concentration all the time he would be the title favourite. But he only found it with his back to the wall here, when he basically couldn't afford another mistake, and it turned out to be too late for him. Two 1st round exits in a row at the Crucible, after doing very little all season... shame.

Great win for Day on the other hand. I think it's fair to say he hasn't played all that well under pressure in the past, but this time he made a great 92 when it mattered the most, and after everything Maguire threw at him. He certainly has the ability to hold his own against Trump in the 2nd round, if he plays him at all of course. :smile:

Good to see Murphy through as well, after Perry's struggle earlier today. O'Sullivan has certainly deserved a reasonable draw by being 1st seed, but something like Hull, Burnett, Cope to reach the semi-finals would be a bit too much. I want a couple of good battles between the seeds in that quarter. :smile:

An adequate B-game performance from Shaun, with a few glimpses of the old Murphy magic thrown in for good measure. Hard luck to Jamie, he fought well but I think Shawn deserved the win in the end. Very enjoyable match wasn't it. :smile:

Very glad to see Shaun come through in the end. Feel sorry for Jamie, he fought hard.

Fantastic day with Ken Doherty coming through, and 2 final frame deciders in one evening session.

Looking forward to tomorrow's matches, especially Selby White and Higgins McManus.

zzzzz....

Well done Murphy. That was a tough one.

[Rane]

Murphy really tried hard to hand the victory to Cope, a nervy affair in the end.
