China Open - 1st round (and wildcard round) discussion

[magicman]

I have to agree that the Williams/Lee match is the best best of 9 match I've ever seen. Both players played great, both played with a decent attitude and calm around the table and some shots were exhibition stuff. Fantastic snooker to view live and I consider myself lucky not to have missed it like so many others

Has anyone..

Has anyone ever made 4 centuries and lost 5-4 before?

I guess no!
BTW Williams also made 50+ in the decider

[FOXMULDER]

That's got to be in the top-5 best of nine matches of all time.

Williams four and a half centuries, and lost. lol

Phenomenal clearance by Lee.

Are there any feeds for tables 3 or 4 ?or just 1 and 2

He couldn't have been more lucky on the table. Played a poor shot on the 3rd last red which forced him to get the most natural possible angle on the black to open the last 2 reds. It's sad that a great match has ended up like this.

You don't half talk some rubbish

Yes, here you go:

its so clear that i can hear either joe johnson or dominic dale weezing in their breath.

Ding is in a bit of trouble, 1-3 down against Maflin.

With Williams and now possibly Ding going out, the two big favourites of the top quarter would be out of the picture. That could leave the draw open for the likes of Hendry, Lee, O'Sullivan or Day.

[doorag]

Ding hasn't even been playing too badly. Sometimes you just run into first round upsetter.

[Odrl]

Here we go, two centuries from Ding to get back to 3-4.

[snooky147]

Gone are the days when the qualifiers could not play. Li Hang hitting breaks against Graeme, including a 133, currently 4-2 up.

[doorag]

Ding is the man!

[lewis1989]

I tuned in he was 4-1 down...great come back!!
