World Championship discussion

I haven't been on this forum much, but I have extolled the virtues of Mark Allen before. Perhaps starting to fulfill his potential. Disappointed to not be watching it as he is a cracking player to watch when playing well.

Got 16/1 on him winning 10-5, as if he does win, I thought it would be convincing. If it goes tight, then you've got to fancy Ken. And even at 4-0, wouldn't discount Ken doherty.

5th frame

well ken did his best to lose that frame, he rolled up to the green and missed the green completely he left allen a free ball but allen missed a simple pot in the middle pocket!

so ken gets his first frame on the scoreboard at last!!!

doherty 1 allen 4

[April madness]

doesn't look good for Ken, easy blue to middle pocket missed though Mark misses too, a chance for Ken again. Doherty 15-23 Allen

[April madness]

2-4 now, Allen missed pink to middle pocket badly, and Ken potted the colours necessary to take the frame

[Ginger Freak]

KenDo scrapps another frame back, 2-4!

I wonder how far he has to go to become world number 1? Semis? Final? Could anyone enlighten me?

[Lindea]

He can still do it... It is the comeback kid we're talking about after all

Well regardless of other stipulations, first and foremost he has to go further than Dott.

Depends on how the rest of the top players do, but he'll overtake Dott if he wins this match.

now it's interesting, Mark potting only reds with blacks... 5 reds w blacks already

[April madness]

aww, pink blocks the 8th black to middle... break over

[Ginger Freak]

aww, pink blocks the 8th black to middle... break over

He is still doing enough to win the frame - 2-5 now and its all going howwibly howwibly wrong for Ken

[April madness]

2-5 nice stuff from Mark - he was trying to get that 147... and Ken's long potting isn't good today, though he potted a few nice long balls in previous frames

[missneworleans]

Yes, Ronnie won easily, but that's not a shock after yesterdays led.
Well done Trump, let's hope he can make more battle in the evening
Good win O'Brien, though I'm shocked that Hawkins is out
And about Ken-i can't understand what's happening with him. I think he need to try to win last 2 frames and hope he will be in good mood tomorrow

[April madness]

and how unlucky Ken can be, trying to split the reds a bit and go in off! and Allen misses too. Mon KenDo!!

[April madness]

3-5, nice clearance of the colours to win a frame
