but he is not right now.

Yes, but if he made the 147 then it is the biggest confidence boost of all for him. Thinking about it, if he made the 147 he had the ultimate psychological advantage over Hendry, depends on wether he thought he would make it or not.

Clive Everton - it wasnt a natural angle. had the red went in the cueball wouldnt have. absolute idiot

anyway...4-4 with some really good snooker

hope the other match is as engrossing

[spike]

Looks almost certain the match is going to be 4 all and nicely poised for tomorrow

[doorag]

When's it start tomorrow?

[PaulTheSoave]

Hendry should have put the screws on after 4-1, but playing some silly shots. If he continues like it, and ROS starts playing better (cause he played quite mediocre) ROS may run away.

They play again tomorrow morning

agree. far too aggresive once in the lead

yes you might be right there. :snooker:

Yes, he effectively threw that part of the match away.

No big harm done, though. 0-0 or 4-4 - Stephen did have a very good run with some excellent snooker played, so he should take that with him when they return tomorrow (at 10 UK time).

i was really impressed with ronnie been calm and collected .. he is not playing great but when he cool down he does think better.

[Le Ball Sack]

Does anyone know what the score was after the first session in 1999, 2002 and 2004?

i think that will be relevant to the fact as they are different players now.

[rivercard]

I must admit that I thought Ronnie might lose it after 4-1, but he remained surprisingly calm. Should be good match tomorrow.

Anyone know how many centuries have been produced so far in this championship? Smashing the record once again?
