China Open 2009 - QF discussion!

not looking good for ronnie.

I think that's a bit premature. It shows that Higgins is giving too many chances away. Even though Ronnie isn't capitalising on his opponent's mistakes, we all know that a 2-frame deficit is nothing and this is especially true for Ronnie, who can rattle frames in no time at all. Also - Ronnie, like Ding, has a tendency to play inconsistently sometimes. He'll play really bad frames but then when he needs to up his game, he pulls out some of the most amazing snooker.

It's going to be tough for O'Sullivan to win four of the next five frames now.

if anyone can Ronnie can!

Disappointing to see Stephen lose but to be honest he has played a lot worse than that this season and nearly won. Peter was just brilliant, fair play.

Higgins unexpectedly missing frame ball for 4-1 against ROS, that could be such a huge turning point in this match.

john did a bad miss right now for 4-1...

ronnie miss the yellow and higgins miss an easy yellow in the middle, but he got lucky and snookered the white

[Matt_2745]

Blimey, another great chance for John and he's had a horrible kick.

[Matt_2745]

Well, well, that could be massive.

[JiangYu]

3-2 - Game's back on. Higgins will be kicking himself psychologically!

good shot on pink to get on black

[The Boss]

The crowd enjoyed that frame

Still Hendry Hendry can take quite a few positives from this tournament, at times he played like the Hendry of old IMO. Should stand him in good stead for Sheffield.

Poor shot there from John

Oh yeah definitely, it wasn't as if he played really badly today like he has done in a lot of his matches this season. Was really impressed with Ebdon, looked to be back to his best.

[stephenm2682]

both asleep i think!

[The Boss]

Eirian Williams needs to quieten this crowd down. It's not fair on either player

[Forman]

some silly mistakes creeping into both players play now
