Drago sets a new highest break for himself in this tournament. 26!

[hegeland]

I have to say, judging by todays and yesterdays performances, it's pretty unbelievable that Drago has been in the top 16 for five years during the 90's. He's playing by far the worst I've ever seen anyone play on TV.

Drago was a force to be reckoned with 10-15 years ago, when he made the fastest ever century, fastest ever frame win (records that still stands, as most of you know) and was in the top 16 but today he's not even a shadow of his former self.

Good break

[Monique]

yeah ... sigh
I predicted him to loose 5-1 in most of his matches ... now it seems I have been over-optimistic!

Well Drago won a frame!!!! And with a break of 57 at that! Could The Boss be right?

[dannyd0g]

Drago almost won two. Just needed a few more pots to get his second.

Good to see he has been part of the match today though and was even in with a glimmer of a chance of a draw for a moment.

[The Boss]

4-2 to the Copper. Drago won 2 frames so enough of the whitewash rubbish. Yesterday was a one off

The other match is still in frame 3. Win or lose, watching Drago play is exciting stuff, unlike some other matches. Frame 3 while The Boss and the Copper have played their 6

[Mignon]

So glad Drago won two frames. At least there was not a whitewash..

Any idea what the score is in the other match Murphy v Selby? World Snooker live scoring has frozen!!

Put Selby and Drago together and you get the normal speed of match

Of those to I like Drago until he´s 100 years old and can´t pot a ball!

[vao]

which match was televised yesterday?anyone knows?

[rivercard]

Now, this was better from Tony. Shame that it looks like Eurosport won't show his remaining two matches live.

[The Boss]

The puppeteer surprises everyone again. Another win for Dale

[missneworleans]

Yeah Dale is in-form this year. Tony played great, he won 2 frames against Maguire, that's very cool for him
Very good results for Ken Doherty!! And bad start for Mark Selby.

Eurosport Sweden showed Ding v Dott from 1-0 to Ding and an excellent quality live stream it was too. Dott levelled at 1-1 and should have really gone 2-1 but missed a yellow with the rest that would surely have won the frame. a 64 put Graeme level again but a rare error on a safety let Ding in for a 96 but Dott came charging back at Ding with 67 on his second visit. All in all a good match, one that I feel that Graeme should have won.
