I think Ryan Day is still in his bed...

I hope he will do it better this evening !

[Maija]

Come on Hendo. Haven't caught much of this match so far (having to work at the same time, no fun) but glad he's in the lead. How are they both playing?

Hendry is clearly the better of the two right now. Day hasn't really done much yet, except for a nice 1st frame. The rest has been all Hendry. To be fair, Day hasn't really had luck on his side either.

Morning snooker is evil

Edit: 5-1 to Hendry now, and he is smiling broadly. Day leaves the arena for a wee break.

Hendry 5-1

Think Day is trying to make shots happen, but it's not really working out for him. He is digging in though

[João]

lol, I guess around 85% of this 42 points Hendry have came from fouls.

Hendry's defensive game has been immense!

that would have been branded "oxymoron" 15 years ago!

Hehe, yes. I guess he's just adapted to a new reality.

[Rane]

Another 147 attempt gone wrong for Hendry. He don´t like to be no. 2 in the statistics.

[Maija]

Someone will need to pick up Ryan's toys before the next match starts and give them back to him. He's being a bit silly now.

Anyway - go for it, Stephen! Get your record back!

[Harv]

Day looks like hes going to explode

You've been seriously outplayed son :snooker:

[April madness]

Anyway, Hendry has to make 2 maximums to get the record back. I don't think he'd want to share the honour of 9 max with anyone

[Wim]

So we are in for a real surprise here if Hednry reaches the semis

[Ekphantos]

I'd love to see Hendry go through to the semis, but for the sake of having a good evening of snooker, I hope that Day ups his game a bit (but not too much

[April madness]

Well, it would be a surprise to predict that before the tournament. But after his first round match the probability that he could get to the semis was high enough, so I don't think it really is a surprise now

[doorag]

13-12 Ebdon is my prediction :/ I'd rather see a Carter win comfortably though.

[Nina]

I haven't enjoyed watching Hendry play like today in a long while!
The Hendry - Ronnie semi seems very close now... :snooker:
