China Open 2010 - 2nd Round Discussions!

[Odrl]

To be fair, considering how many people watched some of the 1st round matches, I'm sure Higgins-Williams would have got a better crowd if Ding wasn't playing at the same time. And you could also hear from all the screams that there is a pretty big crowd watching Ebdon-Robertson as well.

Anyway, it was almost a brilliant clearance from Ding, but he'll have to wait another frame now.

Selby won 5 in a row to beat Cope at the UK Championship, 4 in a row to beat O'Sullivan at the Masters, 3 in a row to beat Ding?

That certainly would be nice, but might not please the fans or Ding for that matter!

[Omehenk]

Yes go ding!

[missneworleans]

Chinese crowds are idiots
It ok to clap at every Dings shot but not when Mark misses
Anyway well done Ding, a bit of tension in the end

[hitandhope]

It's a sad day - Selby is out
Though he took it graciously in his usual jokey manner as he quite literally the the towel in, hehe...

[missneworleans]

In the end Neil's maximum was the only frame hes won
I think it happened once when Marco made a max just to lose Ken 5-1

Not just the chinese though is it?
Opponents of Jimmy white have often been applauded by fans a bit closer to home for missing.

I know! that wasn't very kind did you see Mark's face when they did? Bless him,

Yep! Thats so unkind

Great entertainment today.

That safety battle in the last frame was particularly absorbing.

So, all my players except for Murphy() are safely through to the QF, and none of them play each other.

It's also surprising to see Robertson go out so convincingly, especially with the breaks he made yesterday, and his maximum today. Every time he goes out of a tournament it seems to be the 2nd round.

Sad to see Selby, Robertson and Higgins go out My 3 favourite players in one session go out. C'mon King!

[noel]

Yep! Thats so unkind

And just look at how, with typical good humour, Mark The Jester Towelboy Selby took it!
