    • My god, Hendry looks older than ever! (which actually makes perfect sense, but... )

        • Hendry doesn't look too bad for a 39 year old!

          • Allen looks to be hitting the ball really well! He plays at a nice pace when he's amongst the balls!

              • 7-3 to Carter. Ali seems to continue what he started yesterday.
                And I think Allen will be 2-1 in front

                • Even at this stage with the Allen has played in frames 2 and 3 already the writing looks like it's already on the wall for Hendry!

                    while i dont disagree that Allen looks as sharp as a tack i think its too early to judge how the match will go as hendry hasnt done much wrong so far....

                      Is Hendry looking good then? Hope so.

                        depends what you mean

                        hes not the hendry of old. he doesnt look terrible, but not great either. in the club he makes the hard pots look easy. recently hes missing the easy balls too often. hes potted 3 very good shots so far, but missed 2 easyish ones.

                        frame 4 was restarted due to negative play and both agreed to rerack.

                        hendry trails 1-2 in frames

                        hes just potted a black to lead 13-0 in this frame and the white glued in the pack off of the pot

                        • I think a lot will depend on if Hendry can capitalize on any half chances that Allen leaves him with!

                          • 3-1 to Mark Allen who is playing very, very well at the moment.
                            Maybe i am seeing things, but he reminds me of a young Jimmy White.


                            P.S. Allen has a 16 sec shot duration.

                            • 16 seconds, and looks quicker. every time i see him i think he plays better when quicker, a bit like Drago when he was younger.

                              Hendry aint played bad, but Allen deserves to lead at the interval

                              Hawkins has the upper hand in frame 12 on the other table (losing 4-7)

                              • Yes and like Jimmy he gets a good reaction with the cue ball!
