Draw for the Last 32 - Tuesday, 11 March 2008

[kafka]

Would be nice but he couldn't. This will be a tough match and the one with the better mental strength will win it.

[Sarmu]

I agree there, but nothing is a certainty. Who would have thought he would lose to Fergal at The NI after making 5 centuries in the previous match.

I thought most people did due to the Dale, Fu, O'Brien rule, especially after he beats higgins

[Anastasia]

That is exactly what i said.....what pleases me may not please you or viceversa......

Even that's as may be there is nothing wrong in this . No two people think alike .

[Anastasia]

I had a horrible feeling that Stephen Hendry would be drawn against Mark Allen and now it's reality.

Allen thrashed Hendry in the UK Championship and I think that the same will happen at The Crucible. I hope Hendry does win through to the second round because I've got tickets, but I'm not very hopeful

I was like the performance to Hendry in the last tournament. And think that his good form is come back.

Allen has what it takes to beat anyone, but he still has to work on his mental side of the game.
I think he will do much better than Gilbert did last year agains Hendry. Should be a cracker.....

[matoski]

Ding will be out in the first round. Can't see him beat Fu. Tough draw for Higgins. It would be a cracking first round match against Stevens.

[Anastasia]

Will be nice to watch Fu in form again ( in first round )

For a hendry fan, you are not very hopeful about his chances. As Anastasia mentioned he was back to some sort of form in the last tournament. Hopefully he can at least make a match of it against Allen, if he is getting back in the groove, theres no reason why he shouldnt win, regardless of how well allen may play.

[Semih_Sayginer]

Hendrys form in the last 3 or so tournaments has been really good, even in the matches he lost. at least really good compared with the last year or so results prior.

Allen is a rising star. I watched his match V Ken at the crucible and he played well, keeping the pressure on Ken

Id expect this match to go at least 17 frames

[edinmis]

Interesting fact. Look at these head-to-head numbers, except Higgins and Stevens, all other pairs never meet each other more than 4 times....

it work for me now
A little late but I'm happy . there is interesting things for reading and watch .

[footygirl]

While Bingham might have won 4-0 meetings aginst Steve- I think The Boss might be a lot stiffer opposition over 19 frames.

Remember the games Bingham has won has been the best of 9

[dannyd0g]

If The Nugget comes out and plays he's got every chance. But if he misses lots of easy and mid range pots (as he often does these days) then even all his experience and tactics probably wont be enough to get him through.
