2016 World Championship discussion

I think this tournament is starting to have Higgins vs Selby final written all over it. :upset:

Good start from Selby. Not playing his best, but better than in the previous rounds and looking very solid. It will be very difficult for Wilson to recover from 0-4 down.

A very good start indeed. Kyren needs to win at least 3 of the next 4. I hope he does because I feel this could be a classic match if both players can keep up with each other.

[Cov86]

I can't help but feel Mark is rushing some of these shots and is basically using the tip as an excuse. He got down and played the yellow very quickly and missed it, then did the same with the black. OK he is a naturally a quick player but I think he would do well to take an extra moment and concentrate 100%

yes, all my favorite players are done :-(

[Cov86]

Sigh. Mark playing far from his best AND getting a terrible run of the ball / bounces / kicks / etc. Seriously in danger now. He must get out of this at least 5-3 or Ding is just going to steamroller him.

[daffie]

Wow...how well is Selby playing today. Seems like his old self again...fully in control of the match.

[Rane]

Wilson´s 6 frames down now. It will be quite an achievement to get back.

[JimMalone]

Tremendous break from Mark Selby, making a 97 without having black and pink for the major part of the frame and now leading 6-0.

He is starting to peak, he has a real chance to win this year.

[JimMalone]

Ding steals the eighth frame. 6-2 up now. Will be a hard battle for Mark Williams to come back there.

[Cov86]

Gutted. That was woeful from Williams and Ding had a nice run of the balls too. Mark has a mountain to climb now.

I think that last frame was huge... 50 point lead and to take on that very high risk red when literally all the balls were in play was just 'pushing the boat out'. Unnecessary as he had an easy safety to play and could have even put a red safe if he wanted.

Williams was cueing pretty well, just didn't really seem focussed.

Wouldn't surprise me if he comes back into the match in the next session.

[daffie]

Great first session result between Ding and MJW. Would be fantastic to see Ding go through to the next round. (sorry MJW).

And I used to kinda like you as a normal member!

Wrong result, and hopefully will MJW come back. I believe he can make it, he has been playing really well in this tournament, even 5:3 in the evening session won't be that bad, but the more he wins, the better.

On the other table, the result so far seems really promising, I hope Mark can win the 8th frame to take 7:1 advantage.

My dream final this year would be Williams vs Fu/Selby or Hawkins. If MJW won't progress through, I will go with Ding of whom I am not the biggest fan, but I like him the most from the remaining players of the quarter.
