Today's Hendry looks very determined and obviously very inspired by his first round escape from Allen. But I do not think Ding is really playing so badly nor his attitude. He looks positive enough to play the right shots throughout and knocks in some long reds, but not being presented too many obvious easy chances. Sometimes things just do not go your way. Will look how he approaches his game in the 2nd session, reckon it is not so easy now as being 2-6 down and Hendry seems really in the right zone this time.

i think both players will play better tonight and the advantage hendry has even if he wins only 1 frame tonight at 9-7 down he is stil in the match....however if he lifts his game and wins tonight seshion 5-3 or even only draws it going in to tomorows final seshion he would be a very strong favarate..............and another 6-2 seshion its over.......

Haven't seen anything of the Hendry v Ding match this morning though i've just seen the score. Is it a question of Hendry is playing well or Ding having chances and not taking them"Statistics won't tell you much about me. I play for love, not records."

Snooker Gods draw King back
It took a untimely kick in the final frame of the session to keep Mark King's hopes alive at in this year's 888.com World Championship. Needing all colours to open up an almost unassailable 10-5 lead, his 'Cyborg' opponent Peter Ebdon was thwarted by the Gods as he got a kick on the brown, allowing King to reduce the deficit to three frames at 9-6 before a final frame to be played at at 2.30. King must be wondering whether his opponent is made of metal underneath. Ebdon was clinical and unemotional as he returned to his familiar 'hurt the opponent with every shot' mode. King needs to win the last frame and hope his A game returns in the evening session. That divine intervention from the Gods suggest that King could be on his way back.

Final frame at 2.30
Can't you read Marc? I said the final frame of the session at 2.30 before they resume tonight. They had to be cut off before their final frame because there was less than 50 minutes before the other matches start at 2.30. They play the final frame of the session at 2.30 and finish off tonight. The difference between 10-6 and 9-7 is huge. King must take the final frame. The Gods may have swung this match in his favour after Ebdon got that kicksigpic

Moved to tonight, both other matches will start at 1430, it just means there are a potential 10 frames tonight instead of 9 (although there will only be the need for 4....)
