Hawkins has a high break of 22! Is that a mistake
or is he playing that badly?
Carter is 3-1 at the break.

Enjoyable match so far, good performance from Ali. For me, he always has been one of the best cueist among the players, which I think he has proven couple time already this match, he is superb in this department. Only problem I had was his negative attitude, but it makes sense after all he has been trough. So all the best to him, and keep going. I like Hawk, but root for Ali this time, so I think it will be 6:4 Carter.

He's playing that badly. In fact. I've never seen him play this bad before.

On paper, this should be a relatively easy win for Barry but he hasn't got any game at the moment.

Thats a huge surprise however this tournament has
seen plenty of poor play from players who normally
do much better.

I'm impressed with Ali tonight, he is playing really well. Surprised at Barry, he is usually much better.

Yes I know, I just said that to my dad earlier, been a lot of surprises this week I think.

Barry has zero confidence at the moment. It's a shame to see. I like Barry.

You wonder if Barry has some external pressures away from the game......just doesn't seem like he is with it .
Shame as he is such a decent player and a fighter when he plays .
Could be lacking in confidence ???

As the expression goes. It's like pistol whipping a blind kid.
I do feel sorry for Baz.

What a great win for The Captain. Ok Barry didn't turn up at all tonight, but still very well played Ali! Hopefully he'll go on to beat Robbo in the next round.

A complete nightmare for Barry. That must have been one of the easiest wins of Carter's career.
I hope to see some commentary from Barry at some point to explain what happened this evening.

How I wish I had put more money on Carter ... I had the feeling all along that he will win but Hawkins was way way out of sorts

I expect to see Ding to return to good form tomorrow and Allen vs Higgins should be a close one.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with one of your posts
