[Monique]

Same as yesterday ...

im watching here http://sports.sina.com.cn/z/snookerchn09video/

higgins wasted a lot of chances to take the 6th frame he'l be kicking himself about that in off

[João]

Peter is always very dungerous when in the lead... it will take some stopping.

[ronjans]

Amazing how form turns around in a couple of months

[hegeland]

Great break from Higgins in the ninth, perhaps that will restore some of his confidence? Both players missed quite a lot at times, but the defensive game was good.

Good to see Ebdon on the big stage again, he made some funny things only he would do, like the jumping up and down or the one handed shot. How anyone can call him boring is beyond me.

I agree. I never understood why people call him Cyborg or boring. The guy has cried live on TV when being confronted for his slow play/irregular betting patterns etc. He has a lot of emotion. Now I really hope Ebdon can make this year his second World Champion!

[ronjans]

I quite agree. Maybe the match against Ronnie (playing slow) gave him this image but was a one off.

For once i agree with you Hegeland.

Even if his snooker doesnt always inspire his off table antics usually entertain.

I wonder what further 'theatrics' we might get from him today, whether he wins or looses.

I hope he doesnt get all emotional today though if he goes onto win it, as that would be a bit OTT for 'just' The China Open.

[luchtzak]

what time will they restart ?

[Mal]

Does anyone know the current head 2 head between them. I recall about 5 years ago it was 11-6 to ebdon. It is good to see him doing well. IMO snookers best current character.

[spike]

I'm not sure, but i'm pretty certain that h2h it is Higgins that leads.

[JiangYu]

Come, on!!!!

EDIT: Whoa, I thought that white was going in for a second on the clip on the red. Go for the rollup.

[wildhoney28]

those "hawkeye's simulations" in china tv are so funny.
No chance to play sth like that in real.

[hegeland]

Bitter blow for Ebdon. It's getting more and more tense out there, just as a final should be!

[JiangYu]

Ebdon needed that frame badly to keep his mind on track. Come on, Ebdon!
