Welsh Open 2016 - Discussion

[Odrl]

Nice finish from Perry, first a clearance to win the penultimate frame on the black, then a good break of 71 (was it?) to secure frame and match in one visit. No idea how he played in the first part of the match, but I'm guessing it wasn't too bad, considering how quickly he got the match over with. Will be tough against O'Sullivan tomorrow though... :smile:

Evening all - not posted here for quite a while.

I was wondering whether anyone knows what the fewest frames conceded in a ranking tournament might be? O'Sullivan has conceded three so far.

I know Steve Davis won a ranking event conceding eight frames - 1984 (Jameson's I think it was)

@Statman - do you know?

Good question. I hope another forum member can tell us.

Eight has been done on a few occasions, but I think the record must be six, Stephen Hendry in the 1993 Dubai Classic.

Assuming I am correct, O'Sullivan could only afford to lose two more frames to break the record here, which seems unlikely. But of course these comparisons are not always fair, since the length of the matches is different from tournament to tournament, as is the number of rounds the winner participates in. :smile:

Steve did that twice actually, 1983 as well at the same event.

It's hard to judge them, what were the rounds the best of. Or even what's the minimum amount of frames you had to play to win the tourney.

Hendry won 30 and lost 6 at the 1993 Dubai Classic. Ronnie would need to win 36 here, so it's a bit more, but not very much so.

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

It's ronnie's scoring that is impressive in this tournament.

Thanks for that Zombie, nice stat attack

[zombieman]

Gotta thank Odrl as well for the stat my friend, I would've never remembered that run of Stephen's off-hand myself.

I think many people think when you hit 40 you go half blind and lose your legs, Phil Taylor in darts is back to his best and he's 56 this year.

Ronnie's fitness regime and running must be helping him too.
He needs to take Maguire and Allen with him on a jog

There's a new future grudge match in town :
