In fact I just skipped the first 9h 25m and discover she only won because her opponent mis-cued on the final pink (actually playing the black but it was a free-ball)

Meanwhile, Evans has just stolen frame 16 to go 7-9 against Dale to show again she's the only female who can compete with some of the mid to lower ranked male players. If she played on the main tour she'd easily win her fair share of best of 7s.

It's really sad that she doesn't get that chance. I think she's just bored playing other women after winning so many world titles.

Having her in tournaments (at least in the qualifying) would increase the interest level. She's probably around the 60th-80th best player in the world, while Ng would struggle to beat players in amateur leagues.

Another maximum break, this time for Liang Wenbo. Was expecting at least one during qualifiers, maybe not that soon. Won't surprise me, if there would be another one.

Well, Reanne Evans did play on the main tour a few years ago, and if I remember correctly she lost every single match, including against amateurs in the pre-rounds of some PTC events. Unless she's improved massively over the last couple of years, there is no chance in hell she is anywhere close to being the 60th best player in the world. :wink:

Has Liang just had another Max ??......or is my computer lagging behind ?

[Miig]

Missed the final black.

[Neil Taperell]

Oh no......was it an easy black ?

[travisbickle]

Just the one mate.
Jimmy 6-4 up now.

[sealer]

Oh no......was it an easy black ?

Fairly easy, played it too slow. Should have stroked it in.

[richiet]

Missed the final black.

He didn't miss the black in the frame I just watched. 147 in frame 10

Edit: Oh I see, nearly got another in frame 12. Tough

[Miig]

Optimal, except bridgin over the rail. The angle was good and he was some four inches from the rail. Shouldn't have missed it really.

Would it have been the first ever multiple maxs in a game by one player?

Typical of Liang Wenbo. Brilliant but cannot hold it together :-)
