2019 World Snooker Championship

What an amazing comeback this is. 1-8 down was Graeme Dott. Now we head into the decider.

If Bingham loses - this will hurt for life.

Am I right to think that so far Nigel Bond is the only player to recover from a 7-frame-deficit in the first round (Best-of-19) of the World Championship, when he came back from 2-9 down in 1994 against Cliff Thorburn?

As SH points out, it’ll hurt Dotty just as much to lose now. Like climbing Everest only to pushed back down at the last step.

ok Ballrun is IN! COMON!

True - lets see if he gets a chance to come back to the table.

What a comeback dott has done deserves to win

[JimMalone]

Still think a defeat would hurt Bingham more than Dott. Sure it would be not easy for the Scotsman after the fightback. But down 1-8 he already had basically no chance and pulled off a fight as brave as any other.
If you actually lose from an 8-1 lead and thought of yourself as already being in the next round, you're the laughing stock though.

Is there another player on the tour with such a short jabby-stabby delivery as Dott? It amazes me that he's done so well with it.

Mark Allen?

[bigandyg]

Dott plays with a very short cue thus the style

[Billy]

Ouch! Dotty’ll be seething for weeks after that.

[Rane]

Allen needs to tighten up his game tomorrow, but I guess he can get a bit of optimism from Graeme Dott. 5 frames isn´t impossible but he needs to find the game from the Masters last year.

Gutted for Graeme

Best comeback, worst defeat!
