Everything works perfectly here. I suppose the demand is quite high at the moment.

Bad safety from ROS, John is in and the reds are quite nicely spread for breakbuilding purposes. Hm. No. The black is sorta not very available.

thanks mate!
I have always been a fan of Higgins, and I like Ronnie too, Ronnie is...different. I think that's why people love him so much.
For me this is the final before final and I so want to leave work but I can't...
Thanks again for the update!

Aww, to be stuck at work now! Sorry for you! Hope you'll get to watch tomorrow!

A bit back and forth... bad psish from John, Ronnie potted one red, missed a pink etc. Higgins is on 68, 59 left on the table. ROS is playing for snookers.

Carter and Selby are down to pink and black, still frame 2.

Edit: ROS v Higgins 1-2
Carter v Selby 1-1

John and ROS are off to get some tea, at 1-3 to John Higgins

Maguire just stole the HB so far of the tournament with 143. He was en route for a 147, but snookered himself on the black.

Maguire v Hamilton 6-4
Murphy v Stephens 4-5

Ooops. That's a hat trick from me. Sorry! I'll shut up

Murphy not allowing Matthew to think about the interval, continuing the frame needing 4 snookers... 7-5 to Matt, nice!

Did they just have a re-reack!!

I was doing something else at the time and missed it!

This tournament appears to be taking a rather bizarre twist in the second set of second round matches. I was expecting Peter Ebdon and Stephen Hendry to raise their game, but neither appears to be able to compete with the young guns.

What do people reckon for the rest of the tournament now? I think the winner will come from the John Higgins vs Ronnie O'Sullivan quarter-final. Both players are on good form and it should be a cracking match.

Any thoughts?

Ronnie's managed to maintain his focus so far and i expect him to win it if he manages to get past higgins, as he should be doing

if the worst happens, i see no one other than higgins to do it!

Maguire 9-7 Hamilton
Well done Stephen also the best break now 143 and good chance for 10.000 pounds
Hamilton also played well, but Stephen was better

[zong]

surely there must be a 147 between Ronnie and Higgins??

[April madness]

oh no, livescoring showing empty screen again very good timing, right when I'm at work with video unavailable

Go Worzel, Go Matthew!
