Can fu get fru?

Come on Marco.... :snooker:

[Cov86]

I think Marco will be a bit disappointed if this finishes 8-8.......... although given he started 5-3 down he probably should be happy..... but he could have won the first two frames of today.

If he could steal this frame and be 9-7 it will be huge pressure on Selby.

Can't believe Marco missed that red to that side of the pocket being so close to the pink!

[P.Smith]

Willie shouldn't be allowed to comm on Selby's matches should he?

He's a Pita...

You have a point but to be fair terry Griffiths is often commentating on the players he coaches, manages to be pretty unbiased though.

Considering how bad Selby is playing, losing this session only 5-3 is about as good as it gets.

I agree. I think Fu should have won that 6-2. But at 8-8 he can at least sleep well knowing there is everything to fight for. Certainly if Fu keeps playing this well he has a good chance to beat Selby even if Selby finds his best game......... and I feel it is unlikely Selby is suddenly going to find top gear because he has been struggling throughout the tournament really.

Marco should have won more than that. He need to put more pressure on Selby, otherwise it's gonna be very tough on him to win.

I always feel rob walker puts 'extra pressure' on the players a little with the way he introduces players..

Ding.. 'Has the weight of a nation on his shoulders'

Yeh, thanks for reminding him he's been trying his best to put that at the back of his mind, rob.. Lol

He had a nose bleed this morning.

Brilliant opening indeed! (Getting me old records out now...)

Alan had a nosebleed earlier today. Must be rather annoying I would think playing with one nostril stuffed

Very true. Selby has struggled for fluency all tournament and has only made 60 something as a top break this game. One good session by Marco could win it for him. If it stays close , I would favour the jester over Marco no nickname Fu. He missed many easy chances (under pressure ) to clip the Hawks wings earlier than he did. Credit for the eventual clearance though. So, all in all , too close to call , two , three frames either way. Great performance by angles today though. What pressure Ding must be under. Savage.
