China Open 2015, Mar 30 - Apr 5

Robertson now has problems. All of them in his head. Instead of playing his natural game he has tried to be ultra cautious over the last few matches and lost them all. He had plenty of running earlier in the deciding frame and should have taken the blue on.

Perhaps he should go full Ebdon from now on. :P He can sometimes play as slow as he does.


Ding better win his match.

some very interesting shot choices by Marcus ?

:snooker:

Hope Ding wins too. Strange that given their super healthy lifestyles Robertson and Ebdon both look like they've been dead for about two weeks...

[Hal]

Yeah, I agree that Robertson looks really pale nowadays .... I guess it is worth it to watch the last frame of his clash with Poomjaeng?

[robertmac]

Nice to see Ding advance however he didnt have to
face a tough opponent so hopefully he is getting
slowly back into playing shape sooner than later.
Hopefully both Trump and Murphy can advance when
they play tomorrow.

Good stuff from Ding this afternoon, no fireworks, but he looked very composed throughout the match. His draw is pretty nasty though, he plays Mark Davis next, most likely followed by Williams, and that's only the last16.

[robertmac]

Yes Ding played better than he has of late
and hopefully its a sign of better things to
come for him. Chinese fans no doubt are
wondering why Ding and other Chinese
players arent doing much better.
Carter and O'Brien both lost their matches
which would seem to be the only surprises
besides the big surprise in Robertson who
is playing poorly.

Might be a stupid question..... If someone gets a walkover, does it count towards the overall head to head stats between the two players?

CueTracker does not count walkovers with regards to Head2Head; H2H is based on matches/frames played.

Just finished watching the Poomster and Robbo.

A very enjoyable match to watch. I love watching Poomjaeng. Such a character.
I can't believe Robbo missed that final black. That one is going to hurt for quite a while.

Also glad to see Maflin winning in his match with Carter today. He's a great player that should be getting much better results.

[robertmac]

Higgins and Fu both play matches in the
first round coming up within an hour.
The second group feature more big names
in Bingham, White, Perry and Selby while
the third group features Williams, Trump
and Murphy.
Hard to say who will win or who will be
sent home.

I would like to see Murphy and Trump advance
but who knows. Hopefully some exciting matches.

Cheers. Silly question I know, but was wondering if it was Robin Hulls only victory against Ronnie. Lol

as I say, this is CueTracker, how WS and others may view it I am not sure, but a H2H can only be matches played, surely?

Cheers,

Can you only.get eurosport on sky?

Any freeview options? Guess one is buy app and throw it to.the screen.

[DeanH]

not sure about Eurosport "only" on Sky as I only have sky
I am sure it is on BTSport/Virgin/etc and there must be websites that align with the broadcasts and of course there are the streaming sites, like hahasport.com (see Other and you should see the snooker)
